Hi there , my load meter is reading that it has some load on it,( see pic ),but everything is off ,I have popped the boiler safety valve to drain down,so I dot think that is on anymore,and I fitted a new leisure battery 2 weeks ago.Any ideas

that looks approx 4 amps so it must be something hungry, check fridge, inverter, any thing plugged in I would say its to heavy for alarm system, or it may just need a good charging up,

Definitely a large ish load, have you turned the 12volts off at the panel ? If not do so and see what it does then
Awning light maybe, is your heating on, or you could pull fuses on EBL one at a time to identify

Have turned 12v off ,and elektroblok,still the same,
I will pull fuses tomorrow. I will update when I have.

Also my solar system is charging normally

Could it possibly be a faulty meter

It could be I guess, don't know how accurate those analogue dials are. Worth getting an ammeter that can measure the current flowing through the +ve battery cable from the leisure battery and then compare with the dial.

See where the needle sits with the battery disconnected.
Could need adjusting...needle gauges usually have an adjuster screw on the spindle.

Long time for my reply.I have a faulty gauge. I have just had my elektroblok serviced( A and N caravans).so with the electroblok out and everything disconnected the gauge still reads the same.Thanks for the advice.
