Testing a Converter on Your RV
Dave SolbergDescription
12-volt deep cycle batteries run components on your RV such as the lights, vents and water pump. If you want to test whether your RV’s converter is actually charging your RV batteries, Dave Solberg has a quick demonstration that might interest you.
Here’s what you need to do: hook up a simple multimeter to your battery and switch it to the DC setting. When probing the example battery, Dave says the multimeter should get a reading of 12.6 if fully charged.
What should you do if the converter isn’t actually charging your RV batteries? Dave walks you step by step through the process of testing and troubleshooting your RV’s converter.
