Does the House Battery Switch need to be on to charge the batteries?
For Travatos equipped w/AGM batteries (59G/59K)
For the purposes of this FAQ Generator Power is treated the same as Shore Power.
(“Disconnect State” means whether the House Battery Switch is turned on or off.)
GL/KL: Pure3 is different. No charging occurs driving or solar unless the system is on. If you plug a Pure3 coach into shore power, the system will wake up automatically and start charging.
| Condition: | Disconnect State | Charge |
| Solar (w/sun) | Off or On | Yes |
| Driving | Off or On | Yes |
| Plugged in to Shore Power | Off | No |
| Plugged in to Shore Power | On | Yes |
What converter/charger is used in the Travato?
Winnebago uses the Progressive Dynamics PD9245C in the Travato.
This is an electronic, multi-stage converter/charger. It is designed to charge your batteries rapidly when needed, and float charge them with a trickle current once full.
Here is a link to the manual (that covers all sizes of this line. We have the 45 amp version).
