I have not used our van for about 2 months and since I knew that the van would be parked up for a few months I left our KS energy underseat battery at 72% SOC. Yesterday when I went into the van to check something, I noticed that the Schaudt overhead panel display was not showing any leisure battery voltage at all, whereas the vehicle battery was fine. I then immediately checked the KS energy status using the app and could not even connect as the battery was not showing up on the bluetooth search. I had previously disconnected the fuse for our Votronic solar regulator so there was no charge getting to the KS energy whilst laid up. I then re inserted the fuse in order to charge the battery with solar (I was thinking at that point the battery was completely flat!) and was about to also connect to EHU. At that point I was then able to connect to the battery via bluetooth and also the Schaudt display was now showing a healthy leisure battery voltage. It seems that the KS energy had gone into some sort of "sleep mode" as opposed to standby mode due to non use, and was woken up by the charge from the solar regulator? I don't think it's due to a faulty bluetooth module like another other thread has reported since the Schaudt display was also not showing any voltage prior to re connecting the solar regulator and charging it. The battery is showing 72% SOC and 13.2v which is as expected so obviously the battery was not flat as I first thought.
Before I go back to KS energy I wanted to know whether anyone else has experience this?
