Not sure what is up with my battery

jbug10

My battery shows fully charged with my little meter, but as soon as I unplug from shore power everything shuts down that normally could and would be running on 12v like the media center, fridge, etc.  It's like the battery is dead.  Anybody got an idea of what might be going on?

Check the 20amp fuse connected to the battery. My guess is that it is blown.

Indeed.

The main battery fuse on our T@B is a 30 amp.

Mine is a 30 amp also.

Yes check the 30 A fuse.

Where the heck is the 30 amp fuse located?  Please tell me it's NOT inside the battery box! 

BryanR

Yes - it's inside the battery box coming off the positive terminal.

GEEZ!  It was hell getting inside that battery box the last time!  My skinned up knuckles have barely healed!

i have a 2011"quickstart" model and mine has a 20amp fuse. It also states in my manual if there is a problem with the battery first check the 20amp fuse in the battery box. Don't know if they use different fuses depending on the model and equipment installed.

I started this thread back in May.  It turned out the problem was the 20 amp fuse inside the battery box.  I changed it out and all is well again.  Also getting the battery box cover off was easier this time after I took the propane tank completely out of Tab even though it was hard on my back.  That tank is heavy but no skinned knuckles!!
