Were the new batteries the exact size dimension as the ones they replaced?
RodgerS said:It is totally irrelevant regarding timing. Any experienced RVer knows you can inspect a rig, ok it, drive it out the door, and wham something goes wrong. Not really fair to play the timing game.
But, really, stop with all the supposition stuff.
I'm with Ken totally!bucks2 said:One of the prime questions for a car fire, typically starting under the hood, was when was it worked on last? For a battery compartment fire it would certainly be pertinent when and what was done in that compartment.
I do find the supposition offerings informative - not for us at long distance to analyze what actually caused the fire but to be aware of what not to do with a battery installation/replacement.RodgerS said:...But, really, stop with all the supposition stuff.
If the OP had his house-batteries replaced with the same type that came with the coach (AGMs), the equalization feature in his Magnum converter would have been disabled. Of course, I suppose someone could have inadvertantly turned it on.John Canfield said:There is one more charge situation - some smart chargers will enter into an equalization charge mode every 30 days (or whatever period) or as selected by the user. The charger will pump 15.5V into the bank for a length of time, if yours got 'stuck' in this mode the bank would be overcharged and I assume can trigger thermal runaway.
