   Hi everyone,Final result is:  Filled battery with distilled water and installed back in pod, plugged in and check with voltmeter. 17.4 volts .  Run battery down a little, checked charging rate again..,18.2 volts.  Took pod to my wonderful dealer who determined battery charging board not working.  Replaced board and all is well. However , this represents third circuit board to go bad during furst season... fridge, gas detector, and now battery charger. I think we are getting spikes while parked and plugged in at home.  Highly rated surge protection device is on the way.   
Thanks for all the advice.
Joe

	I've heard of campsite shore power being wrong and damaging converters, but never at home. Have you had the Pod plugged into 120VAC while having lighting storms?

	17-18V?? something is NOT right! Did they give you a 24V charger? Do you have 1 battery or 2? You need to disconnect everything right now before something else gets fried.
