Hi everyone, I have an Orion TR Smart 12 | 12-18 isolated that takes the 13.8v input from a Magnatek 6409 (9 amp RV converter). As soon as I plug it in, even though the lithium iron battery is not connected to the output, the voltage jumps up to 20v on the input line !!!
Any thoughts on this? I have not wired in tow vehicle power yet, I don't want 20v going into my tow vehicle.
Right now I am testing it, and the input line is around 17v. The Magnatek goes right to the Orion. The output of the Orion to the Pop Up campers branch circuit. Output seems fine, around 14 volts depending on charge state.
I am thinking excess power consumption makes the Magnatek output too much voltage, but im not sure yet. I am thinking of replacing the Magnatek with a simple 30 amp 13.8 v power supply for shore power if this is the case.
