Following on from another thread about the charging of batteries.....

Since purchasing my motorhome in December I have had it connected to a EHU (I have a CL site) so that I can keep an oil filled electric heater running inside to keep out damp.

I imagined it was just the same as being hooked up on a site. Am I doing anything wrong that could damage my leisure batteries or charger ????

I'm sorry I cant answer your question, but I will bear you in mind when we come down to sail at Portland in July in a National Competition. Your B&B looks lovely and will also pass this on to people that will be looking for accomodation.

depends on your onboard charger.....a regular one may overcharge the battery and cause electrolyte loss....dry plates....if left on for any length of time.

a multi stage smart charger will be fine.

Hi

How far are you away from Portland? I ask because we are sailing this weekend and if I mention your B&B folk are bound to ask how far from the Sailing Academy you are.

Many thanks

I have my van connected to the mains whenever we are at home. During the colder months I have an oilfilled radiator, set quite low, permanently connected to keep the chill off and avoid damp.

The battery charger is normally switched off, about once a fortnight I switch the charger on for 24 kours to charge the Leisure battery and the following evening I switch over to charge the cab battery. This way ensures that both batteries are ready to go when I am.

No - its a good idea to have some background heat.

Hi Dale,

Thanks for your interest.
We are about 15 miles from Osprey Quay. Takes about 30 mins through Weymouth or can go the back way through Portesham/Chickerell. About the same distance and also 30 mins but much quicker when the traffic is bad into Weymouth. (very often).

regards
Garry
