Hi ajs,
sorry can't answer that for you, because like I said when not running or on EHU, the solar panel does the charging bit, but we don't scrimp on lighting, and Tv is on when required. We do go away for months on end, and never a problem. If your moving every day or every other day, the batteries soon charge up.
Happy Camping
it's just that i have a suspicion that my leisure battery may be knakkered
but i don't have testing facilities... and i'm not very experienced
and my electrical technical mekkanical knowledge is less than zero
i'm getting about 1/2 an hour from it.. lights only.. having mains charged it for 24hrs and an alternator charge after a long run.
in other words it lasts as long as it takes me to get the jenny running
just need to know if this is the norm... or if i need to change it
regards
aj
I must agree it does sound like your battery is knackered, however unless you do a simple charging test its difficult to be sure.
If you can get hold of a voltmeter just connect it across your leisure battery when the engine is running, it should read 14+ volts, if it does then its a faulty battery if not then you have a charge problem.
If you ever get over Evesham way PM me and I can always have a quick look.
