  1. Total Loss of Battery Power

    We have a 2019 Oli Elite solar and Norcold fridge (the one with the touch panel controls) and 2 6V AGMs.    A week or so ago while getting ready for the season,  the fridge was accidentally turned to DC and drained the batteries  I hooked to shore power and charged things back up.  Everything worked in both AC and DC modes.   While doing a 1 night boondock 2 days ago, I put the fridge on level 2 and we travelled about 2 hours.   We arrived to see the Zamp controller flashing and battery status low and the condition low.   Nothing in the trailer would work on DC.  We drove home,  hooked to shore power, and battery indicators showed everything was full.   All systems worked while hooked up.  This morning I disconnected the shore power and all indicators again said full.  I turned on the lights and water pump and they pulsated. Within 30 seconds the lights and water pump shut down and the Zamp controller showed battery status low and battery condition low.  

    Clearly my batteries are not holding a charge.     

    Any ideas?   I'll contact the service department  on Tuesday the 26th but though a little insight may be helpful.  We have a big trip planned in 2 weeks and are too far from Hohenwald to drop by.   

    Thanks!

      Hi, just a note that you posted this to your profile, and not the forum.  If you go here: https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/11-mechanical-amp-technical-tips/ and click "start new topic" you'll probably get more eyes on it.  "Full" batteries are hard to judge based on the stock instrumentation while hooked up to shore power.  You may want to see where they sit once you disconnect (and no solar so either under cover or at night), but before placing any loads on them (ie fridge on propane).  If it's not great voltage, you might have to take them out to see if an external charger can resuscitate the batteries or get the batteries tested.
