Control panel

Hi looking for some advice on the control panel of my auto sleeper kingham 2019 leisure battery voltage reading 13v approx capacity indicator reads zero battery has been tested ok charge rate at battery reading 13 plus volts shows a current draw of approx o.5 amps I have photos but not sure how to add on here I have also fitted a different fully charged battery and get the same capacity indicator readings?

Hi Mark.

I doubt you’ll get many responses as you’ve posted in the section about dealers. You really need to find your way around so I suggest you return to the front page and start with the threads of info for new members, including the introduce yourself here section (and it will be appreciated if you do that) and you will find all sorts of useful things such as the factsheets which contain the photo posting instructions. 

Work down the page and you’ll find the various categories for posting which include a technical section which is probably where your post should be.

There are numerous threads about batteries - some ongoing - and the search facility will lead you to them if you fail to spot them.

I agree with TW above but in the mean time, as far as battery capacity readings are concerned, I’ve never taken a scrap of notice of them in various vehicles (it’s just a setting on your - EC480? - control panel).
It’s the voltages I take notice of.

In the first half of 2019 A-S were fitting Sargent's EC500 LCD panel, around June 2019 they began fitting their EC700 system and panel which we have. I couldn't find a battery capacity indication on our panel.

Providing your batteries aren't being charged by solar or on EHU, and the engine isn't running, the battery voltages give an indication of their state of charge.

An important consideration is not to let your batteries get below 12 volts. It will shorten their lives and they may not even recover.
