That makes sense.
I’ve been plugged in to shore power for a week now. I just disconnected, cranked the engine, started up fine, but get the low threshold voltage warning on the dash (not the normal start up one).
So am I right that the magnum charger / inverter is apparently working and this problem has been isolated to the engine charging system?

Unfortunately they can’t get a belt till Friday night, so I have to take it back Monday.
Thanks for the troubleshooting help!

Can someone provide a link to a soft reset and especially a hard reset?
Thanks

It’s in the Magnum instructions, not on this website.
