Thanks Only because the 276 has failed and reading a few articles suggested that the three stage charger would provide more optimal battery maintenance. I am trying to understand how the new charger is connected to the PS184 board

I am planning to replace a BCA276 ( Powerpart PO120) with a BCA 306 ( Powerpart PO123) charger - if anyone has done that I would really appreciate some help with the cable linkage between the charger and the PS184 power distribution/fuse PCB

Thanks

By the way I cannot get a clear image of a BCA184 but have attached an image of the Apuljack version - you can see 2 labels - 1 for "Charger" and 1 for "Charger Link" - what I am trying to establish is what these do !!!

Thanks - I have done that and it did rise from approx. 12.6 to 13.45 ( with 12 v load) . I monitored for about 90 minutes and it was consistent-the fan came on after about 20 minutes and stayed on. The problem is that , having convinced myself that this was okay ...

Thanks I did monitor the PSU /PDU Fan and casing over a approx. 90 minutes while it was definitely giving 13.75 v and although the fan was working the casing was not at all "hot" to touch - just warm- whether it would get much hotter with extended periods I...

Hi ProfJohnL I have attached an image of the PCB from the consumer unit - one of the relays interacts with the battery charger - what I am trying to establish is if failure of the relay might cause intermittent switching off of the charger when it should not. I get...

Thanks I just asked if they could explain the role of thePS/AE184 Fuse/Control board in the PDU with regards to any switching ON/OFF of the charger so that I could eliminate it as a ( much lower cost!) possibility - as I am definitely seeing 13.75 volts on the van display...

Thanks - I have tried both but they have been able to explain the role of the pcb in the unit i.e does it switch the charger on/off at all - as my fault seems intermittent it will be more difficult to diagnose if the pcb is designed to carry out any...

Should have mentioned the charger is BCA PS276 ( Powerpart P0120) and the control board is PS184 - the van is 2011

Thanks ProfJohnL Not being "electrical" but I am wondering whether the problem is actually with the PCB that controls the charger - I can see that the charger output 13.75, fan comes on etc - but it seems that after a while it goes off but is then easily...

I have been trying to establish if the PS276 (Powershot P0120) 20 amp charger fitted to our 2011 Pegasus Genoa is functioning correctly. I have listed below the information I have gathered by testing and would appreciate any thoughts :- 1) At first it was thought to...
