Greetings All,
Just back from France.
While we were there we noticed that as it was getting dark the gauge for the Hab batteries showed a decline over what we have come to expect. Nothing alarming but a definate falling off on the gauge without any usage.
I suspect that one (maybe both) of the two hab batteries is on the way out.
History. We have had the 'van for two years. One of the batteries was used before it was put in there and the other was put in by the seller and I believe that that one was new at the time. So one is older than the other. they are 110's fitted in parallel and supported by an 80w solar on the roof.
In a weeks time we head for Bagwell Farm and I don't want the batteries to be a problem.
Whilst I understand the fundementals of batteries I have no idea on how to test them.
Could someone on here tell me how to go about it.
I appreciate that I MAY have to put my hand in my pocket for a pair of new ones but I would appreciate the opportunity of testing them before I need to splash out.
As usual thanks for any positive contributions.
