Calendar Event: Monitor Panel Posted: 17 Jun 2014 at 11:07pm |
I have a 182g. My question for all is this:
What do the letters L,F,G,C mean on the battery portion? I can not find an explanation in my manual. |

Thanks and Happy Camping!

I think we are stumped- I've wondered the same thing....my best guess is-
C= Charged or Charging ?? G=Good ?? F= Float ?? as in 13.2 volts when the charger is in float mode. L= Low ?? I received no manual from FR with my r-pod...go figure. |

Can't help on this one, mine doesn't have any markings next to the 4 lights. Keep in mind 2 of the readings on the monitor are next to useless. The only way to really know the SOC is to let the battery rest for 3 hours and take either a voltage reading or measure the battery acid. Then there is the black tank reading, which for most people is accurate for about 2 trips then it gets gummed up.

Not a problem! Simply keep a spreadsheet and carefully document every stop (erhhh, I mean go)!

Ours has "percentages".. I believe everything to do with the "monitor panel" is hokum and voodoo.
I am adding an actual digital voltage readout to the 12v side soon. My father, who has worn out more RVs than most says the way to ell when your grey tank is full is when your shower turns into a bathtub, and the black tank is all about listening to the "flush" sound. When it changes.. time to dump. |

Sounds like your father is a wise man, furpod. I miss mine.
Yeah, I did the voltmeter thing: If we keep this pod another year or so (without upgrading) and it can fit, I'd go with a composting toilet and then join the black to grey for 60 gal. grey. We'll see. Composting toilet: fred

I rest my case for the SeeLevel monitor. It works. |
