15 amp battery drain.

[Trefo667]

Hi folks. I have a 2017 Autosleeper Warwick XL and the vechele battery has a 15 amp drain all the time, even with a battery charger attached. I've pulled out all the 15 amp and above fuses out, but drain still occurring. Any ideas what may be the cause? This is just the latest of problems I've had with the van. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

That's a hell of a discharge, I would expect a fraction of that from a starter battery... Thats like having the road lights on.
Are you sure your test meter isn't faulty.

I suspect you don't have a 15A drain. How are you measuring it?

15 milliamps perhaps??

It's possible that there is a fault causing a 15A battery drain, but it's a bit rare, so that's why we'd like to know how you are measuring it. This kind of fault is so rare it's just as likely to be a faulty panel meter. It is the leisure battery, right? Possible faults include a faulty battery charger, or faulty alternator diodes if it's a starter battery.

It appears to be the starter battery going by 'vehicle battery' .... But until its confirmed who knows.
