Hi all!
We are currently in Portugal and we are having issues with our lesuire battery. It's a sealed lead acid battery (numax LV26MF 100ah). Everything has been working fine in the van for the past 2 months, but now it seems to not be able to take alot of power, without the solar panel being on it can't seem to hold or give out much power. We have had a fiddle and now seems okay with lights/fan/tap but the heater still isn't working with it and the fridge is even worse (but we could never leave that on for very long before it drained the battery). The battery reader will say 100% and 14.3 volts, then if we turn the heater on it lasts a few seconds before switching off and go to 0%. After the heater is off it will then go back to 100%. It was doing this before with even turning a light on but seems to be fine with that now. It's also better in the day when the solar panal is charging at the same time, sometimes the heater will work with this but the day is not when we need it! The invertor also won't turn on at all. Any ideas anyone? Please help we are going to be very cold without the heater!!! Thanks so much
