On Saturday we completed a milestone with the van. The battery charger has been wired to house battery bank 1 and the starter battery, and wired to an AC extention cord so we can power it while redesigning and rebuilding the AC distribution panel.
After charging for several days, the house batteries are at 13.74 volts; a voltage they haven’t seen in years.
The long run of 6 ga to the generator meant to charge the starter battery, however, hasn’t charged it enough to start the engine, so that will have to be troubleshooted.
We have also run 8 ga zip cord to the DC distribution block on the dashboard, allowing us to power up 4 of the 6 radios installed there.
