We are in the South West of France with the van we've only had three months so still learning her foibles. We have two 85amp leisure batteries and a 120w panel. On Aires for the last four nights and the leisure batteries were fading fast. The engine battery was obviously charging but the leisure batteries went down very low, especially overnight to 8.5.
Had a look this morning and found that one of the fuses on the two cables coming down from the control panel had gone. It was a 2.5 fuse - the other one on the thicker cable is a 7 and it's fine. Replaced the fuse and the leisure batteries cheered up straight away.
We decided to go on site to get the benefit of electric hook up to charge them properly but I now see that the charge light is flickering. Don't know if this means it is fully charged of if it's registering a fault. Leisure batteries now read 13.5 but we are on hook up so this might not be an accurate measure.
Can anyone advise about the flickering charge light? the load light is solid green.
I can't see our model of controller on the net to get instructions.
Thanks folks
