Taking a long shot in case someone might be able to help..
I have a Thor Outlaw Class A (37RB) 2016.
The garage has very beefy charging posts that are designed for charging/jumping toys that might be stored back there.
Think 12v battery posts, behind a hinged, plastic cover.
I'm currently building/testing a 'foldout' array that is mounted inside the back, swing-down gate. On a whim, I decided to connect the output of the charge controller to the garage charging posts. Well, what-a-ya-know... The coach batteries started taking a charge. Gee, no shunt to stop current flowing in the wrong direction..
HOWEVER, when I went into the coach battery compartment just to inspect, I can hear a definite relay click - exactly every 30 seconds. Disconnect the charge controller and the click stops. But a volt meter at the input of the inverter shows a constant charging voltage coming in. So there's a relay trying to do something, but it doesn't seem to affect the incoming charge current at all.
I can see a 100Amp DC fuse in line from the posts to the coach batteries, but no relays that I can tell..
Since my controller is limited to 60amps out, you think I'm ok? What the heck is clicking and why?
