We had a power cut whilst away for three weeks which lead to the tracker well and truly flattening the leisure battery on the van as it wasn't getting a charge from the house - I'm pretty sure that's FUBAR and needs replacing (as do the contents of two freeezers) but am taking the opportunity to better familarise myself with the 12v system as part of the fix.

The solar panel is currently covered over and disconnected.
I've worked out that battery one is the starter battery which I had assumed would be the logical way to do things.
I'm keen to ensure the charger is set up right for the leisure battery.

Two questions I'd be grateful for an answer to:

The green flashing light over battery 1 in the video - is that 'blinking, short circuit' or 'slowly flashing, fully charged'?
The manual refers to three battery types, 1,2 and 3 - I know the current one is AGM, but the manual doesn't say which is which. Can any one assist?



Thank you.

Got there re battery type ... its all about the absorption and float rates, which are listed in the manual. AGM look to be type 2 or 3 depending on what you read. Going for type two at 14.6v/13.7v.
