Interesting, what setting are you able to change to reflect charging of chassis batteries?

i have had the problems with battery warranties as a service manager of a winnebago dealership.
battery suppliers know the delivery date to the retail owner is the warranty date of the
battery, per their sales agreement with the chassis mfg. its not what is stamped on the battery. that is only the mfg date.
you may have to argue, and involve the coach mfg, but i have won that argument many times.

On Vegatouch home page, hold down the inverter icon and another screen will come up. To the left of the screen is battery type. Change to AGM. The default is custom. I don't know what the heck that is. I also change the dip switch setting on the SunSaver Duo.

Ray,

You may want to put that setting back on Custom. There are no settings for your chassis batteries, all the settings that you are able to change on Vegatouch are for your house batteries. The 2 AGM battery settings on Vegatouch (AGM1 and AGM2) are for Lifeline AGM batteries and generic AGM batteries. Even the AGM1 setting for Lifeline is incorrect and outdated.

The Custom settings were used to optimize the charge profile for the AGM house batteries that you most likely have and are made by Relion.
