All,
My house batteries ( two 6 volt properly hooked together) are run down (left a light on) & the Onan will not get any juice to start. I've run my enginge to charge for 2+ hours (I have a combiner/isolator hookup) and still not bringing up to the house batteries. The water level in the house batteries is always topped off. The smart charger green light is lite but not the red lite on the combiner. No wires have been changed and all tight. The house batteries were fully charged during the winter storage as the combiner worked just fine. Questions:
1. How long does it take for the running engine to charge the house batteries ?
2. Is there a way to "jump" the Onan from my car in order to start the Onan??
All help is appreciated, I'm a "recovering", i.e. retired lawyer not an electrician.
