Troubleshooting An LED Light Strip That Flickers When Connected Directly To The Battery
Question:
This led light strip works as expected when RV is plugged into shore power and using the AC/DC power converter. However, when wired directly to the RV’s 12 volt power battery only…no shore power or converter, the lights flash on/off quickly and repeatedly. How to resolve the 12 volt flickering issue?

Your LED Light Strip Kit with Wireless IR Remote # DG52688 will flicker if it's not receiving a steady 12v current. Since you stated you're only getting this issue when connecting it directly to the battery that leads me to believe the battery is the issue. I recommend using a multimeter # PT89ZR to test the voltage level of your battery. If it's under 12v then you'll know the battery is the issue.
