One of the most frustrating situations RV owners face is returning to their parked RV only to find out that their battery is drained even though the RV is plugged into a power source. The issue can be caused by several factors, including faulty wiring, old batteries, or a failing converter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your RV batteries are not charging when connected to shore power, there could be various reasons why. It could be due to a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse, faulty wiring, a malfunctioning converter, or even an issue with your RV’s battery disconnect switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To determine if your RV converter is charging your battery, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the battery terminals. If the voltage reading is between 13.2 and 14.5 volts, then your battery is being charged. You can also check the converter’s LED status lights, which should indicate if the converter is functioning correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
