If battery voltage is too low the pump may not run fast enough to achieve adequate pressure to ever shut the pressure switch off......Low battery voltage can cause some (depends on control board) furnaces to still power the fan and draw current (eventually drain the battery) but NOT light the gas IE wake up in the morning with furnace blowing cold air batteries near dead.........While the voltage has to get very low to cause fridge not to operate at all, of course it still needs voltage to operate. Many RV Gas/Elec fridges have two glass fuses on their control board (3 and 5 amp I believe) one for the 120 VAC other the 12 VDC........The 12 VDC feeder circuit is protected by a blade fuse on the DC power panel...... I replaced my 15 year old rooftop AC because the newer models are both more energy efficient and quieter (sorry dont have model number handy) .........Voltage sag subject to load current is a typical problem in lead acid batteries........ I understand a parks generator hours limitation due to their noise but especially those open frame loud screaming 3600 RPM construction gensest yukkkkkkkkk who wants to camp near those, a modern Inverter Genset is so much more quiet.........The modern so called SMART 3/4 Stage Regulated Chargers (suited to chosen battery chemistry) are such an improvement over the old buzz box near fixed constant voltage types and can increase battery life.........A shunt based battery monitor is great for accurate battery voltage, in and out current, Amp Hours so you can know exactly the battery condition......I started with RV/Marine,,,,,,,, then Deep Cycle Golf Cart batteries,,,,,,,,,,,then Deep Cycle AGM to avoid checking and adding water, now 400 Amp Hours of LiFePo4 and never looking back so we can do a lot of long term moderate energy use dry camping and with 1080 solar watts and PSW Inverter NEVER run out of electrical energy, if it rained 3/4 days on end or no sun I start the genset and let the Progressive Dynamics 80 amp Lithium Capable Converter/Charger top off my batteries.......Still with only 86 gallons of fresh water we can stay out off grid a week to 10 days but then have to take on water and dump but Im ready to move on by then regardless. We follow the 70's and if its too hot we go North or up in elevation so we dont need AC but if necessary we can start the onboard Cummins Onan Genset to power the AC......Sure this all cost money (but saved by designing and installing myself) but saves the $25 to even $50 per might campground fees plus gives us the FREEDOM to go to peaceful quiet remote scenic FREE camps run by the BLM or Natl Forest or fish and game camps yayyyyyyyyyyyyy

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
