Help! Leisure battery not holding power

Post by bongobev » Tue May 15, 2012 7:48 am

Give Richard at Clearcut a call. I'm sure he can talk you through checking you have the power management switches in the correct position.

Thanks Simon. Took your advice and phoned Richard. We have a faulty battery as we had to put 1.5L water into it the other day and noticed when talking to him that the battery tray was covered in white powder so it has been leaking so we have to find a garage and he will reimburse us ..
