Leisure battery mystery
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2012 2:18 pm
We got a new 100a Numax leisure battery about a year ago and got it exchanged as is wasn't holding a charge.
Now got a similar problem, though not as bad, with the exchange one.
When on the van with noting turned on it loses charge to the extent that the radio and fridge don't work, down to about 9.5v after 2 - 3 days from fully charged.
Off the van the voltage stays up, no load on it of course though.
Obviously something is flattening it but putting an ammeter in the circuit it shows nothing so I'm baffled. I think I will have to take it back again and get it checked out. Even if the radio is still pulling a bit of current I can't see it flattening it in that short a time. Every time it goes flat I have to retune the radio the radio as well which is a pain.
Any ideas anyone please.
