    I admit that on this topic I am clueless because my buses came with Liberty installed chargers and my use of them is extremely limited.

    My bus is used between Labor Day and Memorial Day. The summer it sits in the garage, but I do not use the charger. Usually the batteries still have a sufficient charge when we hit the road, but if I do something that draws down chassis battery power I will use my battery charger which is a three stage charger.

    I do know the charger cables do not go to the batteries and I suspect they might go to the equalizer cables but that is a guess.

    I don’t even know if the charger is 12V or 24V so that will also affect how a charger is connected. I guess if I had to install the charger myself I would get a 24V three stage charger and connect it to the 24V terminal on the Vanner and the Vanner would balance the 12 and 24 volts as needed. I see no problem with the equalizer no matter how the charger is installed.

    There is always DC power at the Vanner terminals and even if the bus is not running the Vanner always maintains the relationship between the 12 and 24 volt coming from the batteries.
