help please, we have a 2015 Autosleepers Kingham with standard Sargent EC480 LCD Control panel, 100w solar panel (dealer fit from new). Used the van off hook up, with good sunshine, watch some TV and use other basic electrics, so by 8pm leisure battery showed 75% and voltage 12.4v. Charging bar showed good charge during day feeding leisure battery when the sun was out, rebuilding Ah % to 93%. Went to watch TV later and the leisure battery voltage dropped within 30s from 12.4v to 11v and then on down to 10v with audible beep warning. There was never more than 2.8amps being drawn. In the end found we could have light on, but switch pump or bathroom light on and leisure batter voltage dropped and alarm went off again.
I've returned to dealer and they say;
They have tested it and can't find a fault - when I asked them to politely try harder because it's been fine girl 13 months but has just gone faulty.
They called me 2 days later and said Sargent technical said that this is normal and what happens with load. The customer services girl at dealer was useless and had attitude so I asked for Sargent details and said I would call them as this makes no sense to me.
Experienced Funsters out there please educate me, what do you think is going on?
Thx
