That happens here, but quick plug into garage and my onboard 10amp charger brings les and starter bats up, very seldom have to mind you, i like winter driving away to qt places.

Time for a progress report on the two Probat 100 amp batteries I purchaced in september 2020,post #9,They were lead acid at about £65 each.

I was wondering about my Probat too now it is 3 years old, though linked to an even older Yuasa LB. They still seem okay and do not normally drop below about 85% as we are very low power users and solar tops them up. I'll do a capacity test out of interest when I get chance.

My probat voltage readings were very high usually 13v hours after it got dark,but a 4 amp load would see 11.9 after three hours use.For the price I was happy with my purchase.
