chevy3500 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 While planning installation of an inverter/charger (Xantrex Freedom 458) in our T2000 KW, I was reading in the owners manual, that you should always disconnect battery cables before charging. Is this something I have to be concerned with, and if so how do I go about installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 That's news to me. I'm going on next near to 18 years and I've never disconnected my battery bank during charging. I could see doing so if there was a major load on during charging, but I've never been in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy3500 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I didn't really think it was an issue, but wanted to check with the local experts before I screwed something up :>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark and Dale Bruss Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Doesn't sound right. For 9 years our truck batteries are under a Triplet Inverter/Charger charge.

Darryl&Rita Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Probably aimed more at a road tractor lifestyle. When they get a battery charger hooked up, it's more likely to be a monster booster/charger, with all the transient voltage that comes from hooking up a high current source to dead batteries. Our owners manual has the same caveat. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.
