Oooh! Does that mean there's three?Very! It's not the one I was thinking of so I've learned something new there! And what a great word
Sorry, I hadn't noticed that.thank you. i did revise my estimate in an earlier post to more like 33 degrees.
thanks for all your concern for me. i have a steep square parking area at the front of my house and i park diagonally across it driving into it to the top right and the rear of the van is at the bottom left. it is not on EHU. i use it as my daily vehicle. i measure the batteries via a 12v socket gadget most days and it seems strange that even if i have taken it out for a decent run the previous day it is dropping to 12.7 overnight. it normally is 13-13.5 when i get home after a decent run. i have an engine and 2 leisure batteries all the same size - 110 and about 3 years old and all connected on a split relay. am i worrying un-necessarily ? i am a bit of a worrier i know !!!
Yes same thing, but variances count if for instance sealed versus none sealed wet battery. They both load up current and measure how big a drop over how short a time and then measure the resulting remaining voltage. I wouldnt think you need any load or drop testing though DG as your getting 12.7 anyway I think you said didnt you.i was discussing batteries with my new neighbour who is a long established diesel engine expert/inspector..... he thinks i am worrying too much as in this cold weather a battery reading will fall much faster than in a warmer season (irrespective of the solar panel dimension.)
landloboguy - is a load test the same as a drop test ?
thanks - i learn so much from this forum. i never let my batteries drop below 12.5 when i am out and about before going off for a run somewhere.Yes same thing, but variances count if for instance sealed versus none sealed wet battery.

And even when you have 12.4 your still 75% charged
