Leisure battery not charging from mains on CI Cipro (1 Viewer)

[Muffinn]

My solar panel has kept the battery between 11 and 13V right through the summer. I have just reconnected to mains and notice the Nordellectronica NE 102C panel no longer says 230V when I am plugged in.

I have checked all obvious fuses. The charger I believe is a btcina C16, at least this is the box on the other side of the mains inlet socket.

Any suggestions very gratefully received.

Are you on site hook up or at home?

CI

I am at home - the mains works OK - the fridge and the sockets are fine. It's just the battery charger I think.

With the batteries charged by solar panels they may well be fully charged so why do you expect the mains charger to be charging.

Good point but the panel always used to let me know with a 230V text appearing when I was plugged in.

OK it is possible that a charge from the solar panel reached a level that was too high for your control panel elecronics. maybe no diode is fitted to prevent power going where it should not? It all depends how it was wired.

Thanks Roger.
Although it says 13V when I plugged in my tyre pump it groaned in using the leisure battery but was quite happy on the car cigar lighter socket - which says it's reading 12.6V
