  • 24 Volt Charger

    Posted by Dan on October 26, 2018 at 6:22 pm

    I have this switch on the dash but cannot find where the voltage goes. Appreciate any ideas where to look. Been looking behind right side engine door and the bay immediately forward.

    The charger that was in the bus was plugged into the outlet above the back doors where usually the block heater is plugged in. Since this outlet is hot all the time, at least on this conversion, the charger was on all the time. But it was a smart charger, so smart that it died at age 6 years. So a new one is coming under warranty – free. The irony of having a smart charger here is that I hardly ever need it. Previous bus had a dumb charger that I manually switched on/off. Still works at 24 years. I advocate for stuff that works a long time because I am lazy.

    The block heater plug breaker is usually on the A/C breaker panel inside the bus, at least on all that I have had. I don’t remember my 97 Royale maybe Andre can remember.

    Dan,

    Tie the two topics together. I have no idea what a switch on the dash has to do with the charger.

    If you have a Liberty installed charger it will be powered via a switch on the electric panel labeled 24V battery charger. If someone plugged it into the block heater receptacle that doesn’t seem right, both that is not where it belongs and because the block heater switch wouldn’t be turned on all the time.
