So, after loads of discussion and watching our leisure batteries getting less and less able to keep their charge we bought new batteries at Caravanas Cruz near Alicante. They gave us excellent service, checked the solar controller and advised us that the batteries were dead. Refitted new ones and checked everything again. We've only had this van for 4 months so we don't know what abuse they'd suffered in the past.
New batteries installed and on mains hook up since yesterday I thought I should see how they're holding their charge this evening now that it's dark so unplugged from the mains and left a few lights on for an hour. They started at 12.7 and dropped in the hour to 12.3
Is this normal? I'm wondering if we have something that we don't know about that's drawing power.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
