Just two days off grid - don't think I've been heavily using my 12v supply...
LED lighting, maybe 5hrs TV, maybe 3hrs Endless Breeze fan, phone charging, water pump as & when... which is why I'm asking at 3am...
Got up to go to the loo, switched on water pump to power the flush and noticed the onboard meter dive into the red, then the led lights started flickering !
Just got a multi meter across the terminals - 12.13v with no load (using a torch )
Which I believe is equal to 50% is dangerously low....
So I was plugged in before setting off Sunday, then 100+ mile drive. Parked up overnight, then another 100+ mile drive here.
When I first got the van, I had 4 days at Lyndon Top no ehu.
Typically I'm on a trip so need to get it sorted if I need to...
Going to York next & then Whitby both with hook up but then 2 more days Britstop + 3 days at Dunstan Hill Alnwick without ehu before getting an electric pitch.
Should I risk it or get a replacement on the way to York?
Of course I have no tools, I'm lethal when it comes to practical.
So I'd need it fitted.
There's apparently an outfit called Battery Solutions York - heard of them.

Would Halfords fit, they have a bargain 115Ah at £90

Should I risk it, or get a new one at "retail" prices...
