Hi All ,
I'm fairly new to Motor-Homing having bought a Compass Calypso in October 2010 and have only had a 2 night outing so far. When I have the Calypso connected to an EHU, will both the leisure battery and the starting battery be charged? The van has a Zig X-70 unit. The starting battery seems to lose charge quite quickly now...i.e. after 2 or 3 days standing on the driveway (not hooked up), the battery will not turn the engine over. I have checked the distilled water level and seems OK (i.e just covering the plates) so it looks like the starting battery will not hold charge......unless something is causing the battery to run down, but I can't see anything left on. I don't have any meters in the van to give me an indication of the state of the batteries - can any one suggest where I can get meters?
thanks in adv. for all help
cheers
Tony
