Second time typing this.. it all disappeared when i uploaded pics then my son moved mouse and i clicked on wrong button and posted random photos.. so sorry all.
In essence.. i'm having a problem understanding if my Tmax system is working as it should and i've now found that my aux battery is totally knackered despite having had both batts new when system was put in last year. I'm hoping some other users can tell me if these things are normal?
The linked light is permanently lit green and the main battery led display is always showing in yellow and flicking into red above the greens when engine is running!!
a few pics to help explain:
engine off.. stable state with display button pressed to show both levels. you can see that aux is very low:
engine now on and display button pressed showing charge rates on both:
engine on and single display running in main battery which is how i always view it- going into red:
engine switched off and prior to relay clicking over. Display pressed:
relay clicked off. Display pressed:
SO- That's the full cycle if that helps.
The i've put a voltage reader on and the battery is receiving 14.62. The dormant state of the main battery is 12.87 and dormant state of aux is at best 11.64 and when engine running it is receiving 14.46
The relay / solanoid is fixed the correct way which ive read in other threads as somethig commonly done wrong. I know this as there is labeling upon it.
If it helps i could draw and upload a wiring diagram.. but would be interested in if other units are behaving same way and if its incorrect first. I'm trying to rule out if the unit being wrong has in someway killed the aux battery !!
Thanks in advance for your input folks
