Battery Issues
Hey guys, I am really hoping you can help me with this issue. I recently bought a 2006 Outback. The owner had just replaced the batter prior to me purchasing it but when he showed the battery status on the monitoring panel, it read Empty ( I am guessing that meant 0 volts). I had been running the trailer off of a generator, but always thought that the lights were really dim. The first time that I turned on the electric hot water heater, the lights started to flicker and the converter started beeping. I thought it was just bad power from the generator so I ended up running power to the trailer from my house. But the flickering lights and beeping continued. I then went outside to see what the power at the battery was reading. The battery was hot, and leaking battery acid. I immediately disconnected the positive terminal on the battery, and all the lights lit up bright, and the converter started running normal. Am I looking at a dead cell in the battery, or a problem with the charging circuit?
