Has anyone actually observed the WFCO power converter in our Pods go into float mode at 13.2 volts? I removed all known loads (by removing all fuses that showed current flow) and left the Pod alone for 3-4 days. The converter remained at 13.69 volts. According to the book it should go into 13.2 volt float mode after 48 hours of non use.
All known 12 volt loads were disconnected including the propane detector, fridge electronics, and A/C - heater thermostat by removing those fuses. The only remaining loads were the few milliampers to light the blown fuse LEDs and the few milliampers to run the plug-in battery monitor's backlight.. That monitor checks within 0.01 volts of a laboratoy DVM.
Not a problem so far since I don't observe any loss of battery fluid level, but it should work better. Any thoughts?
See separate post to for "fixed" battery drains I measured with the fuses removed.
