Been away for a few days and was watching our new to us, Avtech telly when it suddenly displayed the message "Low voltage, switching off" and with that, it turned itself off. I had forgotten to switch the Sargent charging unit back on having turned it off overnight because of the fan noise. Switching it back on solved the problem.
The question: I was under the impression that the charging unit just charged the batteries (we have a leisure and vehicle battery.) I know all the fuses and trip switches are also housed in the unit but thought that this was just for convenience. We were on EHU at the time so assume we were using power from that source and not from the battery? Why does the Sargent unit have to be charging for the EHU to work? We were also using power for heating, fridge etc at the same time.
Your wisest thoughts would be much appreciated.
