I have always lived by the rule; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I have read several post over the past few years regarding battery charging, battery wiring, "Birds", "Big Boys", echo charger, solenoids and the like. My coach spends most of it's life, when not going down the road, plugged in. I also have solar panels. My house batteries always seem to have plenty of juice. My chassis batteries will drain down due to parasite draw over a period of a week to ten days even when plugged in to shore power. Seems this is a common problem. I am in the habit of turning off the chassis battery cut off and putting a charger/tender on the chassis batteries when parked and hooked up to shore power for an extended period. My inverter/charger is always set to charge when plugged in. With that system, I am always fully charged in both chassis and house batteries so I have assumed "it ain't broke". I have two chassis batteries and six house batteries. Not having significant issues with the 12 volt house and chassis system, other than chassis battery drain, I have not focused on the technical side of the wiring etc., until now.... Still no serious problem but while accessing the battery bay to service the water levels in the house batteries and to hose off the dust and road grime, I discovered that at one time there was a device screwed to the frame work in the battery bay to the right of the chassis and house battery cut off switches. In reviewing post on this forum, including photo's and diagrams, dealing with the 12 volt systems, I believe that something is missing or my system has been modified. I have always felt that I need a new Hart Interface Echo Charger but now I wonder if I might need more than that. I have attached a photo and you can see that the wires that were going to what ever the missing part is are now joined together. In rummaging, I also found a white wire connected to nothing. There are no wires, other than battery cables, connected directly to my batteries. Do I have an issue here or has my coach undergone a logical or common modification?
