DVSR Questions

[Benny Sibbitt]

I had all battery switched to the off position

battery charger on charging the batteries
While the batteries were charging I notice the DVSR relay was on – Red light was on and the bilge pump would cycle on and off every 2 min
So I disconnected the ground wire of the DVSR relay from the battery and plugged in the charger again – pump stayed off this time – works!

With all switches to the off position and charger not connected the pump is off?

Is this normal?

It is normal but not working correctly for a duel bank charger. You need to modify the dsvr relay to only work with ignition power it relatively easy. Trying to find the link.... but i am sure someone gonna chime in

I did it last week took me 15 minutes or so after locating the wires

Strange that your bilge would run with the switches off.....

@Julian that's what I was thinking......
I think I am going to put in a cut off switch for the DVSR, I do believe the only time time I need it off is when I'm charging the battery

I ran the charger cord to swim deck storage compartment and put a port plug, thinking of putting the switch next to the port charger plug

Now I don't have to climb in the boat to plug in power and don't have to remove the cover entirely
