12 volt circuit breaker question

When I am putting the slides out or putting the landing gear down (both hydraulic) they will stop in the middle kind of like they are losing power. If I wait a few seconds it will go again. It doesnt happen if I am plugged into shore power. Just installed a brand new group 31 Interstate RV battery and still the same. I am leaning toward the circuit breaker that the battery power runs thru.

If your slides and landing gear use a hydraulic pump from Lippert, look at the resettable circuit breaker for the pump. There has been an update from LCI, stating it should be an 80A breaker

Looks like this:

You can get them most anywhere.

I am not seeing anything like that in the battery compartment. It is a lippert hydraulic system. These are some pics of what I have.

In your second pic, the small rectangular thing with the red rubber cover. If that’s between the pump and the battery, you need to see what the amp rating is. If it’s 50A or less, then change it.

Will do. There are 2 of the same type of circuit breakers side by side. One has the main battery wire attached and then feeds power to the pump. I appreciate the help.

No problem. We have often times installed that circuit breaker I showed and wire it directly to the battery.

I noticed that the main circuit breaker fed from the batteries in mine is a 50 Amp. Is this the one you are referring too?

Got the 80 amp breaker in and so far it is working flawlessly. Thanks for the help.
