Hi
BATTERY STATUS READING on CENTRAL CONTROL PANEL.
Using the 230V external socket, I get a reading of 14(+)V and about 6.0A,reducing to around 0.2A as the batteries charge. Which all seems OK to me?
PROBLEM:-
Using the generator/starter battery (engine on ), the reading is getting stuck on about 12.2V to 12.6V and 0.2A. The voltage can sometimes increase very slowly (25miles on) to the region of 13V, but the 0.2A doesn't shift. Which indicates to me the batteries are not being charged? This leads to all sorts of control panel malfunctions. The only way I have found to shift this reading, (to something similar to that of the external socket charge) is to start the engine 2 or 3 times, with one of the interior lights (living area) switched on.
Prior to monitoring the readings, ''Voltage Plausibility Fault'' had been displayed on the Central Control Panel many times but not recently.
Would appreciate any help.
Regards.
