We're currently in Rota, Cadiz region of Southern Spain,,, clear blue skies, ten hours of sunshine per day and temperatures averaging 22/30 degrees.
We've got an abundance of solar power (200 watts) easily enough to run the F/F for a few hours when the sun is high...
We've made sure the leisure battery is selected on the EC480 control panel before switching the F/F from gas to 12volt,,, within 3 hours the vehicle battery is flat while the leisure battery remains full to bursting,?!!!
I'm having to run an emergency cable hookup, direct from the new 120 watt S/panel controller to the V battery to recharge it (the new S/panel is wired direct to the leisure batteries via the new controller).

Unless we're missing something obvious the digital switch on the EC480 is telling us porkies,,, it's saying we're drawing power from the L/battery, but we clearly aren't,?!!!

Any help would be much appreciated.
