Make sure the water level in the battery is topped up with distilled water or good quality bottled water- low additives. When pugged in to the TV, you are reading its battery charge level, and the trailer battery when using shore power. ------------- Chris and Walt '10 RP-171 'Free Spirit' '13 Dodge Durango Crew 5.7 L Hemi V8 |
