[size=12pt][size=10pt][size=10pt]I pulled the two 6 volt batteries with intent to replace with 12 volt units. Plans changed-- now I want to put the 6 volt batteries back in, but I paid no attention to where the cables had been attached because I wasn't going to use the 6's. Every online video I can find relating to 6 volt battery banks has some setup other than what I have, or the same setup with no inverter, or an inverter with no coach cables. I know my current array is incorrect because my inverter thinks it's overloaded and shuts down with only 13.73V.
It worked fine before, so assume all wire gauges and lengths are not the issue. I have 14.4V at the battery bank terminals, and 13.73 at the inverter input. It's a Pure Sine Wave 600. The warning LED's suggest input voltage in excess of 14.7 while volt meter reads 13.73. It's got to be the wiring at the batteries, right?
6 volt batteries (A and B): One short wire connects A+ to B-. Neg coach wire and neg inverter wire are on A-. Pos coach wire and pos inverter wire are on B+. What am I doing wrong?[/size][/size][/size]
