We are currently in Almeria and have some electrical gremlins. The Elektrobloc on our Hymer seems to have packed up and is not charging the two Banner AGM batteries. These are still being charged by the solar panel, but this is not sufficient to keep them fully charged.
We have a Halfords battery charger but the instructions say it is not suitable for AGM batteries. Does anyone know what sort of charger would be suitable? Would this be a medium term solution, i.e. until we get home in April?
During the course of our investigations, we have discovered that the Elektrobloc is set to gel. This strikes me as incorrect and could be the cause of this eventual failure. The van is two years old and we are the second owners, so we do not know if the batteries are original factory fitted or when the solar panel was fitted.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
