What it means

Plain-English answer

The RM1350 manual places the approximate acceptable control range at 8–18 VDC. A weak battery, excessive charging voltage, converter fault, or voltage drop can trigger E4.

Owner-safe checks

What to check first

01
Check the RV battery monitor and charging-system indicators.
02
Turn off unnecessary 12-volt loads and confirm battery connections are not loose or hot.
03
Disconnect an external charger using its normal procedure if voltage is excessive.

Safety boundary

Stop and call a technician when

A battery is swollen, hot, leaking, or smells of sulfur.
Voltage remains outside the RV manufacturer's specified range.
