Statpower/Cracker Barrel

I had a Statpower 40 put in our '76 Royale, replacing the old hummer.
Hooked it up to the same wires and layed it flat in the same spot. It keeps
the two 6v. house batteries topped up without any boil off.

Ignore this if you've already gotten your answer. I'm a couple "digest"
posts behind.

The fan is used to cool the electronics when higher currents pass through
the charger. Fan turn on/off iss determiend by many factors including the
ambient air temp. In general the fan will come on for less time and less
frequently when it is cool tyhan when it is ot inside the compartment where
the charger is located.

When you turn on a light it draws more current from the TrueCharge.
Sometimes this additional draw is enough to cause the fan to come on.
Likewise, when you turn off the light it reduces current so that the fan is
no longer needed.

It's normal and what you want to have happen.
