- Formosa 42 Double Cabin
Ok, it's 5:30 am, first night on 42' Formosa Double Cabin after two weeks in the yard getting the bottom painted and a few other odds and ends. Prior to that was the sea trial and the survey where almost everything worked.
First, I connected my shore power, everything looked ok on the panel. Turned on Batter Charger, then fridge. Fridge went on ok, then tried airco... Went on but no water came out the side as it had two weeks ago so I shut it off. Very warm in here tonight, so I went and bought a fan. Turned on the AC in the salon and plugged it in, fan works, computer and phone are charging, galley lights work but salon lights don't. I go to bed with the fan running, fridge running. 4:30 AM I wake up to "Low Battery" beep and voice, but I can't tell where it's coming from. It happens about every 5 minutes. I check the panel and i turn off everything but the battery charger and it's still going off. Would that warning be for my main batteries? If so does that mean my charger is bad or batteries? or both? Or could it be a Carbon Monoxide warning thing? I've just got a funky flashlight so I haven't pulled up the floorboards as I wouldn't know what I was looking for anyway. PO is coming over in a few hours but I'm up and it's annoying..
