Today I went to retrieve the GMC from a storage lot where it had been
sitting for approximately two weeks. One of the air bags was very low so I
started the engine and hit the raise toggle switch for the compressor to
air up the bag and nothing happened. After looking around for the cause I
found that I had no house battery voltage, I mean none. Next I discovered
that I had inadvertently left the "systems check " toggle switch in the on
position.which completely discharged the house batteries.
Not wanting to buy new batteries (if I can help it) can they be charged up
by running the engine and hoping that the combiner will recognize the needy
house batteries and charge them ?
There is no access to electricity in the storage lot so can they be
recovered by using a Schumacher XC75 75A battery charged running it with a
400 watt inverter running off my SUV engine battery ?
The batteries while 3 years old they have never been totally discharged.
All advice is much appreciated
