Turn off low battery warning in 2014 pleasureway Plateau?

Anyone have any idea how to disable this? Sometimes we are asleep and have no lights on and no need to be drawing power (we removed the fridge as we do not use it), and the high pitches low battery whine will begin.... I just want the RV to quietly let the coach battery die.

Thanks for any insights,
Katie

LP Detectors do not go thru 'disconnect'....wired directly to battery so they are functional 24/7/365


You may be right but I am very surprised as I have never had the house battery discharge after storing the RV with the battery "disconnected". For sure, the LP detector is a very small load in any case.

So if I get this right: You removed the fridge because you never use it (could have just turned it off), and now, rather than charging the battery you want to KILL the battery?

You do understand that letting a battery drain as you describe could destroy it, right? there is a reason the low battery alarm is sounding. If this is something you've been doing it's quite possible you have already ruined it.

Most likely that is the LP Detector going off on low battery.

It is wired DIRECTLY to battery so that it is ON....safety device to WARN you of a propane leak so you do not continue 'sleeping' and not wake up

Unless you remove ALL propane devices, lines, tank etc then disabling a safety device is NOT recommended.

Need to FULLY Charge battery during DAY Time hours so that battery voltage doesn't go low during night time
Solar Panels OR longer generator run time ----running engine won't do it

Besides..constantly running battery down will damage them (below 12.3)

Probably reason yours doesn't make it thru the night
