Hi all,
I hoping someone can shed some light on my problem,My van is a 2005 Hymer 655 starline,if you are familiar with the Hymer control,as you know,when you press the button for the battery readout,it displays the voltage in habitacion&vehicle batteries,it also displays the amperage and it's percentage.My problem is,when my van is parked on the drive and is on hook up before going away,the battery readout is usually showing 99%-100%,then press again and it shows my battery capacity is 229amps (cos I have 2x115ah leisure batteries),press again it shows vehicle battery 13.6v habitacion battery 13.8v.so away I go I am never on hookup when I'm away,I have a 85watt solar panel sunworks regulator,after 4 or 5 days the percentage obvious -ly starts to decrease as does the amperage,for example,rec- ently after staying at the ballon festival for 5days then movi- -ng on up to Malvern and staying another 5 days there, after
the sun had been out for a couple of hours my batteries read as;vehicle 13.4v,habitacion13.8,BUT,when I check the AMPS
and the percentages they read something like this; 58%- 134 AMPS,what I fail to understand is how the vehicle and hab; batteries can read 13.4v&13.v respectively,which to me indi- -cates that they are fully charged,but the percentage& AMPS are showing they are approimately 50 % discharged, my solar panel/regualtor is NOT fed via the electrobloc 101 but direct from the regulator to the leisure batteries,so I am confused by the two conflicting readings of fully charged volts,and 58% 134 amps.many thanks for any advice in clari-
fying this problem.
