Dick,

Our batteries are in great shape but we still pull 20 amps when we plug in after a day of driving. When we drive we always have the Bose system on, plus several other things that pull form the invertor. Our alternator keeps up with it pretty well but we always take a charge for an hour after parking.

Bill,

Mine does the same thing... but I'm not sure it's slow or low charging while traveling. I have observed that even a momentary shut down of the charger will drop the charge stage back down to ABSORPTION for a short period of time.

I admit that I don't understand all I know about batteries and inverter/chargers, but I keep learning and trying. I have just started re-reading some of the Tech Notes on the Xantrex web site. Good stuff.
