So...it looks like it's just us three. Let's agree that we get it to 1000 and then we give it a natural burial and stop posting shite.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

stop posting shite.

Like that's ever going to happen with his Barryness around.

Can't your control panel display the VB 'good enough' to check if all's working well enough?

I decided not to be lazy and check the Swift control panel just now. Perfect.

13.5v ???

 

[Pudsey Bear]

No substitute for precision though.

The blip is just me unlocking and re-locking the van to get something off the dash.

What is strange is why did the volts rise just before 8am?

 

[barryd]

13.5v ???

Somewhere round there I would think. Its not precise but Its what I would expect from a battery thats fully charged until you put a load on it. Float charge level innit. I think Merls Gizmott sets it to be just behind that of the hab batteries which I think are at 13.65 float

 

[Pudsey Bear]

T'other way round I think.

Are you sure? I was trying to find the thread where Merl explained it, it maybe wasn't this one.

For those times when you are not near a mains power source, not getting and solar harvesting and worried about your battery they invented something quite some time ago that works wonderfully.

Its called a generator **** lol

We had Honda one in our third van but never used it and let it go with the van, not had anywhere to store one since.

Correct Barry, go to the top of the class and take a sweet from the jar. On your way back to your table give the dunces cap to Kev.
Leisure battery feeds the starter battery with a voltage drop of around 100mV (yes that's 0.1Volt Barry, well done again).
So if the leisure is sitting at 13.6V then the starter will be around 13.5V.
Right...Where's me Cane? Take that copy of Razzle out of your underpants and bend over Bear........THWACK!!
Stop fekkin enjoying it you pervert.

Thats because I was listening to Teacher despite the hangover. That Kev's a slacker.

He spends too much time on his phone. He's either checking his battery app or he's on google maps trying to find Washy Nit Sands.

You forget I know where you two live and I have access to WMD.

Never heard so much chiter about battery charging in my hole life, to lay it on a plate you lot should be in a cell.
