The chassis batteries provide power to start the engine and supply power to driving-related accessories, like the windshield wipers and vehicle lighting. Typically, the chassis battery is charged while driving. Still, you can purchase devices to connect the two electrical systems to charge the chassis battery while charging the house battery.
Yes. A chassis battery will typically charge the house battery in most RVs while the RV is driving. A solenoid connects the 2 batteries and allows charging when there is a key in the ignition turned to on. Just make sure to start the engine to avoid draining the chassis battery.

First, a chassis battery (commonly referred to as the cranking battery) is designed to provide high amperage / current to start an engine. The coach batteries are designed to provide power to a variety of loads, over a period of time...lighting, vent fans, a variety of 12-volt powered appliances, and inverters to name a few.
Typically, the chassis battery is charged while driving. Still, you can purchase devices to connect the two electrical systems to charge the chassis battery while charging the house battery. House batteries can be charged by shore power, generator, solar power, or even wind power.
Just make sure to start the engine to avoid draining the chassis battery. Chassis batteries are kept separate from the house batteries. This is to ensure that once the house batteries run too low, the engine will still start with the chassis battery.
Chassis battery charging
- When the engine is not running and the coach is on shore power, it will enable the internal relay to connect the house batteries and their charger to the chassis battery IF the chassis battery voltage drops below 12.6V and the house batteries already have a sufficient charge in order to charge the chassis battery when the engine is not running.
