Charging the house batteries

[josheldn]

I have a 2017 Thor palazzo and I was trickle charging at my storage space and unfortunately there was a power outage and the gfci tripped. I didn’t know this until today so the house batteries were not quite dead but close. I have a charger and was wondering how others charge a four battery configuration set up in series of twos and paralleled . Where do you connect..at the battery number one positive and battery number four negative or to the positive post on the RV and the chassis for the negative???

I use the terminal connection at the coach

You might need a manual charger

The positive of one pair and the negative of that same pair or chassis ground.

The parallel batteries are cabled together so all will charge.

It can be argued that some hook-ups are more optimal than others, but the difference in a 4-battery system is trivial ad nt worth worrying about.


The battery bank is already wired into the RV system, so why not use the same terminals? There will be two major cables between the batteries and te RV 12v system, a positive and a negative. Connect the charger cables to those same battery terminals.
