I'm changing out some fuses that run inline from my DC out ports to the batteries I am charging.
So I have a PD2150 charger that runs to 4 x trojan 105's on output 1 and to my starter battery on output 2.
After my battery loss the other day I replaced my trojans and found no charge from the charger. So I called the manufacturer and ran some trouble shooting to which I was told the charger was fine (same trouble shooting I had done with same conclusion) - check wiring.
So I removed the inline 40 amp slow blow fuses (corroded) that were in the cables coming from the charger to the batteries. I head to the shop and pick up two surface mount 50amp breakers after a conversation with the marine electrical people and a look in the manual regarding the chargers output.
I get back and start to wire it up and now see this problem
When I switch off the charger at the AC breaker like I always have it still stays on - getting powered by the 12v which I have never ever witnessed before. I cannot work out for the life of me why it will not switch off like it used to before I put these breakers in.
If I disconnect either the DC pos or the common it switches off, give it a touch of 12v and back alive again. When I switch on 110 it doesn't seem to have a negative affect just stays on.
I have only wired in the starter battery - not the bank incase I cause damage as I don't know whats going on.
Until I call the manufacturer for the 3rd time tomorrow I am completely confused.
