Silver leaf power problem

December 17, 2013, 10:42:28 am

We arrived for the night at a dry camping spot. Went out for dinner and came back to the coach with generator running. Batteries were fully charged so I manually shut off the generator. The xantrex tripped so I reset.
We climbed into bed and the generator started. It was past quiet time setting. I got up and shut it off after checking everything was good. Got back in bed and the generator started.
After a couple of hours of this I watched the silver leaf and my batteries would go from 13.5 VDC to 0 and the generator would start. I set the silver leaf gen start to not start rechecked the quiet and turned the generator auto start off. The generator still kept starting. Now I had a red alarm light on the silver leaf panel in back so I went to the front silver leaf and it said gen comm fail.
I should have just manually started the generator and let it run all night and got some sleep but I didn't. I got home and still have the problem and the voltage still flashes 0 even though batts are fully charged.

Any ideas?

Assuming your batteries are not shot, I would try hitting the house battery disconnect for a minute or three. Sometimes things get out of whack and this resets things.
