Re: [tabtrailers] Using shore power or charge by Tow Vehicle when T@B battery dead

 

There's been some conversations on it - it's just not the easiest to
find them with yahoo's search.

My experience with a *dead* battery is that I prefer to bring it up
with a seperate charger (I have an ancient car battery charger). I had
the joy of running back and forth with the shop trying to figure out
my battery issues (would charge with tow vehicle, but not with the a/c
cord) only to find out that the 20-amp fuse *will* blow if the
battery's drained far enough. A box of fuses now live in the T@B
(they're cheap & can be picked up anywhere that sells automotive
fuses).

The battery fun has been a source of humor at our house: I have a
truck ('78 dodge) that has been sitting for 10 years, but the battery
has enough juice to try to turn the engine over. A few months, and my
T@B's battery pretty much gives me the finger. Go figure...
