I have a 110ah leisure battery - fairly new.
An onboard charger with a Zig CF8 with a green/red charge indicator.
A compressor fridge with a cut out level of 11.7V.
It's hot down here (Aude) at the moment so I reckon the fridge is doing overtime to keep up.
When I put my multi meter on the battery it's showing 11.59 so no great surprise that the fridge has cut out but the Zig is still showing a healthy little green light. No problem, I've got a charger rigged up to get the battery up to where it should be.
I have a nice little digi voltmeter for the engine battery which just plugs into the cigar lighter with a instant reading.
I want to set up something similar for the leisure battery. Just a simple meter I can fix up somewhere.
I can't do it before I get home in July but hopefully by then all you good electrical techies will have given me lots of links to EBay/Alibaba for suitable bits of kit and lots of advice how to, and not to, wire it all up.
And as they say at the end of all good requests - thank you in hopeful anticipation.
My apologies if I'm not able to respond instantly but I will as soon as I get a connection.
