Looking for info on the battery isolator function
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 7:55 am
I am a new to the BF community having recently purchased an ‘05 30’ RSB and I am looking for input regarding the battery isolator circuit.
I read in the owner manual that the isolator exists to ensure that the engine batteries are not drained by the coach when off grid. However, the documentation is vague and I have a couple of questions:
1. Does the isolator relay operate automatically or is it a manual operation?
2. Where is the relay located on the coach?
During a recent outing I experienced a complete drain down of both battery banks. I was connected to 120v power at the time, but my charger/converter was accidentally turned off. I found and corrected the issue that caused the c/c to be offline, and now my focus is on understanding why I lost both battery banks. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
