    MEP-803a possible battery short

    The amp size doesn't matter really...mine is a 2 or 6 amp switch one from tractor supply but puts out volts no matter what...slow charge is the best charge...the battery could be shorted out though.

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    Ok, I've had that problem in the past with the new style computer load testing chargers that they sell mostly now with both hooked up.

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    If it says swap clamps you probably have a 12 volt charger and the batteries still have the cables hooked up to the genset...unhook them and charge away.

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    I have 3 300 gallon tanks I use for heating...they are also hard plumbed into the genset...I think it really depends on location...how cold and hot the oil will get etc while in storage mode...I'm in central pa...use the genset for 12 hours every month...I haven't put any additives in the oil...

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    Ok so you put new batteries in it when you got it and they lasted about 8 months then died...you think there's a slow drain on the batteries to kill them when it sits not being used? Just for my clarification...a short is when a wire is positive and touches ground or vice versa...that would blow...

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    These are a 24 volt setup so the batteries will look reversed to get 24 volts...as far as the ground, you have to hook up the battery cable to get a ground...your meter won't do that unless it's in the 10 amp positive port in the meter and put on the battery and the cable...usually that is done...
