| When charging my battery with cord to the house should the battery disconnection switch be on or off? Any help is appreciated. |

Minimum, turn the switch off. Or you can disconnect the negative side of the battery. |

If you are charging the battery with an AC power cord connected to the R-POD AC receptacle - you are powering the R-POD’s internal AC-to-DC converter. You need to leave the red battery cut off switch ON to get the battery to charge. If you are charging the battery with a separate 12V DC battery charger plugged into your house (like used to recharge a car battery) then you need to leave the battery cut off switch OFF. Hopefully this clears things up. ------------- Steve & Elaine 2021 R-pod 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport |

It’s a large red switch located near the battery at the front driver side of newer R-Pods. Older R-Pods do not have a switch. ------------- Steve & Elaine 2021 R-pod 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport |
