First I'm working on the assumption they are called house batteries. I'm referring to the ones under the step (07 Forest River). There are 2 of them and they don't say what voltage they are, so, 1) what voltage are these? They are dead, won't work the slide outs or landing gear. Manual says they require voltage to operate. I plugged into shore power for a few days, nothing. Today I started the engine and let it idle for about 10 minutes. Once I did that I was able to get the slide out to come back in. My thought is take it for a drive and charge up the batteries but I wonder why they wouldn't charge on shore power. Should I buy a battery tender and install it on them? Can I just throw my normal charger on them or should I disconnect them from the system first?
Just purchased this unit and it has been sitting unplugged and unused for a few months. Batteries are new (less than a year old) and still have warranty so I'd like to figure out if they are still good or if I need to see about replacing them. With as quickly as they charged and let me use the slide out I'd think they are good I just need to get a good charge in them and maintain it.
Thanks for any helpl.
