No Battery Power in TAB 400BD Lite — Reset fuse

edited October 2020 in Battery/Electrical & Solar
Picked up camper from storage for a week long trip starting tomorrow.  Camper was in storage since Aug. 9.  Everything was fine when I put her away after first trip using the generator.  (Generator never powered the Air8 but it did give me lights, etc)

When i got to the camper, I did not have battery power yet Victron was showing a full charge.  At home, on shore power, electric works fine.  Unplug and nothing.

Any suggestions?

    Check your battery disconnect switch and the circuit breaker next to the switch.  You may have bumped the trip lever on the breaker.  Also measure the battery level on the Victron with shore power disconnected, so you are reading only the battery.

    Hi, NoVaGuy. This just happened to me as we are new 2021 320S Boondock owners. What I finally figured out is there was a blown fuse. In my T@B, there are two 15 amp fuses coming off the battery. One of them had a very slight shaded area near the top. I wasn't sure it was blown because I thought a blown fuse would look more charred or obviously bad in some way. I finally put a new 15 amp fuse in and that was it! Just a suggestion.

    Also under the bed is a circuit breaker, at least on our 2020 400 BDL. Make sure that hasn't tripped, I believe there is a red button to test it and a lever on the side to reset it.

    Circuit breaker on the TaB400 is either next to the battery or the battery cutoff switch, under the bunk.  On 2018-2019 this is accessible from the rear cargo hatch/door, on the right side behind the battery.  On later models, the battery switch is on the back wall of the cargo area, to the left, circuit breaker under bed center back by the battery, which is located in the back of the center storage area on 2020/2021 models.  Their is also a large buss fuse adjacent to the battery area.

    I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had a 400. In my 2021 Tab 320S there are two 15amp fuses placed in-line right at the battery, in addition to the fuse box.

    Glad you got it sorted.  This breaker is the first item to,check,when you do not have battery power on the TaB400, it has gotten more than one TaB400 user.
