Batteries
Each EcoTrek 200AMP hour battery module has its own control. Your Roadtrek comes with 800AMP hours standard. Optional additional EcoTrek
modules will add additional switches to the bank of switches already in your coach. (Picture 59.1)
To turn your lithium battery banks on, press the lower rocker switch upwards towards the On/Off etching on the switch plate. This powers the
battery management system along with the inverter and manages all functions of the system. After turning the module to the on position, if the
blue light does not come on, press the
Reset Rocker Switch
until you hear a click from the battery system. (Approximately 5 to 10 seconds).
In excessive cold or hot temperatures, the battery management system will start the module heater/cooling system until the batteries reach a
temperature where they will accept a charge either from shore power or the running of the underhood generator.
If all of your batteries have been depleted, start the recharge on one battery module at a time. Allow for a significant charge before starting
the recharge on the other battery modules. Making sure your rocker switch is in the On position, turn off the inverter and start the engine.
Allow for a charge to the battery module and if needed, press the reset button until you hear a click and the blue light stays illuminated.
If all battery power is not necessary, you can run your coach off of 200, 400, 600AMP hours by turning on only the number of battery modules
needed. * Note – To receive a charge from shore power or the underhood generator, each EcoTrek battery module must be in On position.*
