It is 80 here today. I think she was incorrect on the app, lithionics was the one that required the 6 character pass word i believe , so no working apps today. -

Tideline77, i tried what you did with the 30A, worked fine. I also am not well educated on my generators. All is well with exception of using the Victron Connect app, both solar and batteries appear, but will not Connect with the six 0’ codę as directed in oliver video. -

Fidelisem, did you use only the one generator that has the 30A plug and used the RV adapter or did you link the companion generator to the other generator. Sorry for SO many spełling errors, i can’ t figurę out how to work with auto correct or have somę thing set wrong. -
Charging my batteries from generator
TxMN2020 replied to TxMN2020's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I charged minę FIRST time with one of my honda2200. I used a short ford plugged into the convience plug on the door side, do nor remember which połóg on generator i used, i Think i put the neutral ground plug into the left outlet IF looking at the generator, my batteries Werę near 50% and it ran about 3 or SO hours, insurekcja as i did not baby sit it the whole time, but it did get the batteries to full chargé, according to the Victoria round gauge on the interior wall. My FIRST time to chargé anything, our trailer has same batteries as hours, just don’t have 30 amp Electric in the traktor barn where it sita, thought using generators would allow me to use them somę instead of sitting, could pull it out fro solar, but this time batteries arę łów and want to chargé fasces way whiskey i have Good Weather today. -

Charging my batteries from generator
TxMN2020 replied to TxMN2020's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I am ready to Connect my 2 Honda generators, i did not turn the batteries off, they Turned themselves off due to łów voltage, do i in manuały nów and turn them on at the button switch on each battery before connecting generator, the solar disconnect was on and Dealer said just leave it on when Charging. Also, the recent Photo of the chargé system monitor is the one i have, i am confused on the discussion on this whether it monitory battery level or not. i had presumed sińce there is a battery selection and a bar status indicator than reflected battery level, previous postu said it only reflects Charging voltage. -

I took the voltach at the battery with my meteor and showed likę 2.6V, using próbek at the battery post. Have just not had time and need to get info the zantrex yet as we had no plans to use trailer, and our owner orientation was very poor, Dealer rep mainly said sińce we Werę winterizeing he could not go over many things. Hopę to work on this tomorrow to start the process. Thanks to all who arę responding and helping. -

TxMN2020 replied to TxMN2020's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I am questioning why it charged very well the FIRST time using the one generator, with neutral bond plugged in on the generator, the only difference with 2nd attempt to charge with the same setup was i failed to check the amount of battery chargé before i connected the generator, i do know the blue lights were on and not blinking and i had lights in the cabin shortly after initiating the generator. Puzzle IF i use both generators or repeat the single generator and see what happens, i did nor know to check the generator warning light you mentioned. -

I have seen The blue lights, all on in the past, trailer only little over month old, charged batteries when they Werę 50%, tok over a month after Comp,etę Charging to get to 50%, charged them FIRST time with Honda 2200 single generator, took a couple of hours to Complete chargé. I failed to chęck the level of chargé before this attempt to chargé, will try again using both Honda generators linked for 30 amp chargé. Have not set up the app as we arę not planning to use the trailer for a month longer. Getting our battery info off the round display on the curb side wall over the bed. Even this gauge was not indicating charge level and appears to not be powered up. -

Hull 1609, 2025 LE II, lithium with solar, and Yes used a grounding plug. Was successful FIRST time, will try again tomorrow, still learning The generator and trailer. -
Have use my honda generator to chargé our batteries 2 times nów, today being The second Tim’e, disconnected from generator, went inside to verify they full charges, and no Lightning or Power to anything on The master control at The door. Went inside when i initialy starter generator and had Power at than time. My FIRST attempt about a month Ago , same routine and no problem. We had our trailer winterized when we picked it up SO no experience with it SO far other than using generator to keep batteries chargéd. Recommendations when to start looking.

The bike rack I see in the Oliver promotional photos
TxMN2020 replied to TxMN2020's topic in Ollie Modifications
Yes Sir that’s the one, thanks. -
Looking for a bike rack for our future Oliver Elite II, see lots of offerings on the forum, what is the rack I see in the Oliver promotional photos, the couple sitting under their awning with two mountain bikes on a hanging style rack. I presume it has a one inch bumper hitch as offered on current Oliver models. still looking to get our new Oliver in December, already have out camp site reservation for the annual rally.
