Just getting my head around my MH electrics. It’s an old MH 52 plate. At some point in its life the leisure battery has been moved from under the driver seat to the Hab area under one of the seats there next to the wardrobe. The Wardrobe houses the EHU charger, consumer unit, a relay and a few fuses. A cable runs from under the drivers seat via 20amp blade fuse to the leisure battery. It’s quite a run of cable both black :mad: probably 5ft. Leisure battery charges from split relay charger and I’m getting about 14.4 volts with engine running. Cables are small. Are they suitable. They are the same size as those running from under the driver seat original loom as far as I can tell. They only joined via a screw block connector so I’ve put that in a chockblock housing for protection and left the 20amp fuse accessible behind the drivers seat.

If your alternator is giving 14.4V across the leisure battery terminals, yes.

Presume that’s yes to the cable size, so suitable. I’ll just rewire with correct colours.
