LR electric slide did not want to come in today - new battery needed?
Today when breaking camp after a long weekend the living room slide did not want to come in. Would move a few inches, and stop. Seemed that (with engine running) there was not enough chassis battery oomph to get it in. My son went out and gave it a helping push and in it came ok.
The chassis battery is several years old, so time for a replacement anyway. It is a marine type battery. I assume this is due to the long high electrical draw of moving the slides around, correct?
BTW, tried the battery boost switch - did not make a difference. So this may be a problem with the battery boost (first I have tried it) or also related to weak/failing chassis battery.
thx
Vince
