B.I.R.D - Relay issue
Hi all,
I had my charging system fail in me last April. Since then I replaced my Converter/charger, BIRD, and Relay (see pics)
My on board generator charges my house batts through the converter, once I get to full battery 100% per my victron smartbmv, i shut down the generator. My victron shows house at 13.6v & chassis at 12.8v.
Genny is NOT charging chassis batts.
About a minute after my genny is shut off, my chassis battery jumps up to the same voltage as my house battery.
It seems my chassis battery is equalizing with my house batteries when no charge is being applied.
Pretty sure that is NOT correct.
Please - any thoughts?
My house batts are 2 years old expensive sealed AGM 300ah GPL6ct lifelines & i dont want to ruin them!
my chassis batts are new as of April.
Pic 1 = old BIRD
Pic 2 = New BIRD (manufacturer confirmed direct replacement)
Pic 3 = New relay
Pic 4 = Smart BMV screen cap post shutdown of genny
