Find the draw on the house batteries or just add solar.

There is a short or draw on the house system that I can not find. In less than a day, it draws down the house batteries. They could be bad but I'm thinking about just adding a solar panel to just keep the house batteries juiced up and find the draw when I'm in the mood for a headache. lol

Since getting the bus a month ago, it's been in boondock mode and I'm run the genny in the morning for the microwave and coffee maker and charging the house batteries. Again for a bit in the early evening to boost the house batteries.

Solar is so cheap these days I can get a 300 watt panel and 24v charge controller tied to the house and start batteries for around $350. It'll reduce the need to run the generator quite a bit, maybe even enough to run the microwave and coffee maker for the brief times used in the morning.

Is it perhaps a bad battery.

Find that load and eliminate or control it.

It started as a suicide, now that you know, it becomes murder of your batteries.

Court will take a short recess while the accused gets his multi-meter engaged...

happy coaching!

You may do it already but turn the inverter off when not in use the older SW inverters are a constant draw on a battery bank when left on
