Twin batteries - one is kaput

Postby jimmylad » Tue Aug 08, 2017 11:04 am

Just dropped my van off due to one of my batteries not being right.

Starts fine but the secondary battery voltage is down to 11.8 the next day after a good run & then soon drops to 8 volts once the doors are open & the lights are on in the back etc... It goes up to 14.7 volts when on a run so it is obviously getting a charge.Didn't notice really when it was like this but I did loose my trip settings like mpg & average speed a few weeks ago but thought nothing of it. Most of the time the van is running so everything just works as normal.

I can't believe that with all the diagnostics in the van that this wouldn't get logged & warn me.

Anyone else had this ?

Thanks,

Jim
