We have an often too clever for its own good Hymer S800, the control panel allows me to view hab and can battery voltage and also current being drawn
We are driving through France in very cold weather and having had issues previously do all I can to avoid flat cab batteries
Our cab battery on our Mercedes chassis was changed 2 years ago
So, point of my thread, battery level for cab often shows 12.3 - 12.5V in morning, seems low to me
Today’s ‘scare’ and reason for post I checked this morning we had a typical 12.5V but out of interest asked Bev to watch display when I turned ignition on, just to panel lights on. Bolts dropped to 11.7 on display
Bev didn’t know how bad I thought that was and the engine turned fine and started first time
So is this actually OK, is the display probably wrong or did I just get lucky?
