I noticed my two leisure batteries had died the other day (one showing no charge and the other less than 10v) despite being on hook-up at home. They were around 5 years old, so bought a pair of new ones and just fitted them.
Control panels still dead, so started investigating and eventually found the main 30A fuse in the cable from the leisure batteries had blown.
Have new ones on order, but wondered why it had blown?
Everything was fine when it last used the Motorhome (2019 Bailey 68-2). Could trying to charge two dying batteries have pulled more than 30A? Seems unlikely. I will fit a new fuse when they arrive, but wary it could blow again. I’ll turn off all circuits and then turn each one on in turn.
Everything works fine if I switch to 240v.
