Hymer B544 2007 , electric panel - poss faulty ? (1 Viewer)

[barwik]

Hi . Got my Hymer b544 .
I think I've a faulty electric panel - ( the one above the door which displays the battery charge , water levels and charge or discharge rates etc ).
I have new leisure batteries fitted , the solar panel is charging ok and my 240v hook up appears ok .
But yet my electric panel seems to be in constant flashing mode saying ' charge batteries ' as there between 2-10% charge state . I have never run them flat , they seem fully charged and everything works on the van as it should . I can leave it hooked up all day and it might get up to 10% which I don't believe so my questions are -
Is there anyone out there in moho land that can test the panel's ?
Are they prone to failing ?
Have I missed something obvious ?
Or do ignore what its telling me as there new and all working ok
Thanks
John

After changing batteries even ones of the same type you have to reset the battery parameters.
You don't say what model your panel is, I have insructions for a DT201 if thats any help.

Perhaps this thread will help?
I have a suspicion that you might need to reset the panel.

Have I missed something obvious ?

Yes, getting out your trusty multimeter and doing a voltage check. Get the real live data and work from that.
