Re: Newmark battery charge module

Tried to attach a photo but getting the message: "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached." Not sure what that means.

Anyway, any assistance on identifying the purpose of the battery charge module would be much appreciated.

Newmark battery charge module

I’m helping my brother upgrade his 1999 Chinook and came across this battery charge module found in the battery compartment. It appears to take input from the charger/controller and outputs to the battery. After having done a similar upgrade on my 2003 Chinook, I am unaware what this module does bec...

Re: Generator and rear steps circuit breaker

OK, so my problem with the generator has been solved, and I feel a little stupid. Somehow in my head I thought that the generator sent one wire to the distribution panel to charge the A/C outlets, one wire to the house batteries to charge them, and one wire to the chassis battery to get a charge for...

Re: Generator and rear steps circuit breaker

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve been fixing a few issues including a leak under the sink requiring that I remove the shelving, replacing the water pump, and dealing with a propane issue (I replaced the furnace with a Wave 6 heater). Next up: addressing the generator issue. I’ll give feedback soon. Tha...

Re: Generator and rear steps circuit breaker

I have a similar breaker at that location. I am assuming that that is the circuit breaker between the generator output and the house batteries, and not the breaker that sits between the chassis batteries and the generator starter. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Generator and rear steps circuit breaker

OK now I'm going to show my ignorance. The three electrical components in the attached photographs were all found near the passenger side firewall under the hood. Are any of these three a circuit breaker?

Re: Generator and rear steps circuit breaker

Thanks B-G, for the feedback. The rear steps worked even when the house batteries were completely disconnected. The electrical schematics are not very helpful because the lack of detail. In other words, they do not appear to show the wiring to the generator to charge the starter, only the output fro...
