My DCDC charger is powering up, but not chargingUpdated 3 months ago
This could be due to several factors, as follows:
- The DCDC charger must have over 12.8V input from the starting battery.
- The auxiliary battery must be below 13.1V for 40A and 20A chargers. If you have an older 25A charger, it must be under 12.4V.
- Ensure there are no circuit breakers, switches, VSRs, or any other type of relay in line between the starting battery and the DCDC charger. This will prevent current (amps) from transferring from the cranking battery to the charger.
Please connect the ignition override cable to a positive battery source. The cable must be installed correctly in the vehicle's ignition-controlled point.
Note: Even though you see voltage, there may not be enough current to engage the DCDC charger.
