Leaving the van plugged in

[voyager_fun]

Hi all So according to our trackers push notifications the van vehicle battery is lasting around 6 weeks before it alerts us to a low battery alarm. Can you leave it plugged in at all times on your drive when not in use or is this asking for trouble? The alternative is setting a reminder every 4 weeks on my phone to charge it but I assume being a modern MH that Swift have anticipated people doing this...

What some do is set it on a timer for a few hours a week.

If you got Solar no probs this trickle charges Van Batt from Leisure Batt

I would expect that your Swift Motorhome will be fitted with a Sargent PSU and these normally have a feature (smart charging) which selects which battery needs charging and keeps them charged as and when required when on EHU (and solar when fitted)

We've always left our moho's plugged in on the drive & always leave the fridge on. Been doing this now for 15 years.
