Re: Alternator and battery box
Biggles I cannot tell you what the problem might be but I also have a HCDP 12A DC- DC charger in my Patrol with only a 60 Amp altenator charging an extra battery in the front as well as the main battery and then the third battery in the HCDP box in the back with a cable that plugs into the BH plug for the trailer (when not in use) and I once had the same problem. I cleaned the vents of the box and the electronics board with my tyre inflator using a thin nozzle on the front--the kind you use on soccer balls and I cleaned the BH connector points ---problem solved.I dont know if your HCDP box has the switch to change between ALT and Solar charging.
