Onan battery on it's own?
Hello all,
I looked around multiple forums but couldn't find any specific details and I found that my manuals are rather lacking (which will be corrected by the dealer soon). I have the Onan 5500 and we recently started planning our summer trip that will be ~15 days of dry camping so I thought it prudent to see what the battery setup looked like to make some plans. Well, I admit I missed this during the walkthrough but it looks like I have 2 batteries (24MDCST) with 85 ah but they are separated from each other. 1 ties directly into the generator and that's it, and the other ties into the trailer. Dumb me for some reason thought they should be running in parallel, but I am not sure. Also, looking at it I don't see how the generator battery is recharged since it is isolated from the camper and I don't see anywhere that the battery is charged directly from the Onan. Can I tie it into the charging system, or even run them in parallel or would that be a bad idea? Thanks.
