All Battery Power Dead???

Left my rig fully charged 5 days ago and came out to everything dead including the chassis battery? I had the battery disengaged thru the switch, All lights were off. Not sure what could be killing the coach batteries and the chassis is a total mystery? Somebody please tell me what I could be missing?

Could be several things. CO/Propane detector CD player other 12V items with a remote. Most battery disconnect switches do not disconnect everything.

Forgot the LP Detector

Thanks I was just looking thru manuals and caught that. The Radio / CD wasn't on. Still seems like a quick drain for 4 batteries and the chassis battery being dead is a total mystery?

Your BIRD (Bidirectional Isolator Relay Delay) should have Isolated the coach from the chassis batteries.

My BIRD is a SDC-107A from RV Custom Products

Installation of a device called the Battery Protector will automatically disconnect everything should the battery voltage go below certain preset level. This is give you peace of mind while you are away from your RV.

Jon, do you have the Precision Plex touchscreen in your 2019 model? I have it and I have the accompanying Precision Circuits Battery Control Center. I'm also troubleshooting a problem where my chassis battery intermittently goes dead overnight. It was dead on Saturday morning and Sunday morning but not today. So far the house batteries have not died so I could use the Battery Boost switch to get the engine running.

Ray, I don't have the electronic readout on my 2019. I just plugged it into the AC and built them up for a couple hours and then used the BOST button and it started. I've started both days since, but I've also left it connected to the AC. Going to have them check it at the factory late next week. I suspect the batteries on the coach saw all kinds of abuse when the dealer had it for almost a year. I'm going to ask them to load test them and if they are weak, have them replace them. The BIRD switch needs to be checked as mentioned above. I'll keep you posted. Also how do you attach photos on here? I cant seem to find the button for attachments?

Unlike iRV2, you need to click the Go Advanced button at the bottom. That will give you the full-featured dialog box.
