Title: MCI Battery Wiring Diagram
Post by: PitRatPaddy on April 04, 2018, 09:58:28 PM

Hey Y'all,

I am switching over my coach from 4-6v batteries to the original 2-12v 8D batteries. My wife is in Florida and has the laptop with all the bus manuals on it. I'm hoping someone might be able to post a picture of the diagram or step-by-step instructions for hooking up this type of configuration (ie batteries, Vanner, Disconnect, etc). Thanks in advance for the assist.

Patrick

Ground on frame on left side to negative, left battery. Positive, left battery to negative, right battery. Positive, right battery to disconnect.

Vanner: 24v terminal to Positive, right battery. 12v terminal to Negative, right battery. GND terminal to Negative, left battery.

Vanners need to be connected and disconnected to batteries in a particular procedure. I think there is a label on unit. If not check website. Doing it wrong can damage them.

Thanks Gumpy! You are correct Chessie, disconnect ground first, object ground last. I'm picking up the batteries Jew today, then off to work, Friday will be the big day! Thanks guys.
