Well it looks like I will have to get two new battery's some one left a light on in hab unit went to the van last night hadn't been near it for a week as I have been using a works vehicle.
when I went to switch on the lights nothing.
battery's showing 3v
think thay will be caput now

If its only been a week try bench charging it at as high voltage as your charger can go.

14.4/14.8v should kick it into life if it is going to recover.

Bill,
If you didn't have bad luck, Mate, you wouldn't have any.

Due to a fault, I once had one go down to 4.6.
It came back after a good charging, didn't have to change it.

what happened to your home made solar panel?

where I had it parked it's in the shad and it wouldn't keep up with that amount of power use I don't think

 

[Don Quixote]

Bill, what battery charger are you using ? If it is the "bog" standard one it will not recondition your batteries and may boil them to death. You need something like the CTEK charger that can "fix" a battery that is dead over it's 4 stage charging cycle, without boiling it away ( gassing ) Fingers crossed for you that they can be recovered.

Bill, I doubt it will get them back for near death as the "bog" standard one will only supply a charge which the batteries will take, but not hold for long or fix the Sulfation, . This is the one I have at home and to date has recovered every battery I have used it on, even one old wet battery that was 4 years old in the corner of the garage sitting on the concrete floor: http://www.ctek.com/gb/en/chargers/12v

Good luck.

ok thanks may look at one but at £95.00

 

[Don Quixote]

Bill, just sitting here thinking - what charger do you have fitted in the MH - it should be a 3/4 stage charger and if so try charging 1 x battery at a time.

ok thanks may look at one but at £95.00

Bill you do not have to go for that make or model, it is only because I use that one I can recommend it. Halford will have a "multi stage" charger/conditioner for a lot less and will do the job just as well.
