Charging with mobile connector and 14-30 outlet

[jrose1g]

I often have to unplug and re-plug into the outlet before the battery will begin to charge. Is this normal? I'm somewhat concerned because I've heard that these outlets were not designed for frequent plugging and unplugging.

No it's not normal at all. What does it do exactly when it fails to start charging?

I had the same problem with the normal 110 volt plug. Brought it into a service center and they determined it was defective.

I'll have to double check the next time it happens to see if there is any helpful message. Thanks

If you haven't done so already, review the Mobile Connector manual, especially the section on the status lights to see if there are any abnormal conditions:

Thanks. Of course, I just started charging and everything worked perfectly this time.
