Battery drain

[Vipar]

Just collected the MH from dealers.
I had a .22ma drain which flattened the cab Battery in 2 weeks. They found out it was from the radio speakers. This they said is common on the Boxer. I had a spare radio which they fitted free. So now that I have Bluetooth I can pair up the phone. Hopefully the drain which is now done to .07ma will not flatten the cab Battery again.

Your numbers make no sense.

Your numbers make no sense.

220mA and 7mA perhaps?

Radio memory I could understand but not the speakers.
Surely the speakers are only 'live' when the amplifier is on, and that's not on when the main power to the radio is off.

Spot on speakers are not live..........

Only going by what the dealer said. I know nothing about electricity . Only that when I put my finger in the socket it hurts. I bow to your superior knowledge. I don’t really care as long as the battery doesn’t go flat again.

Firstly, don't put your finger in the socket always use someone elses.
Secondly, if You have a solar panel fitted with dual charge controller it will charge both your engine and leisure battery.
Thirdly, don't believe everything that your dealer says.

I thought it was strange if it was the speakers why did he not say that he needed to change them? And why when the radio was swapped for a secondhand one the problem was solved. From now on I have to pay as my warranty has expired. So need to find a trustworthy local sparky to do my repairs.
