More Battery Advice Needed

[Langtoftlad]

Another numpty question for the technically minded.

My Anker Powerbank will provide a pseudo EHU for several days even with the integrated inverter active.
This, surprisingly, provides 12v to the van as well as 240v

Q. If my fridge is running on gas, how much power does it take to keep the fridge's control board alive?
I've already ascertained the fridge goes out if there's no power.

Do you mean it does that if there is nothing connected to the EHU socket?
If you do, there’s something wrong with your setup.

You might have missed there is no 12v as my leisure batteries have been totally disconnected.

Ahh, ok.

To answer your original question, not a lot and probably less than any of your other dc loads (LED lights excepted).

Your anker display, or the app, will tell you for how long it can maintain that draw, mine does. You could hook it up that way and it should tell you

Erm. Does your insurance company know about all this? If your van goes up in flames they are highly likely to refuse your claim.

I really cannot understand why you would not want to bring your August appointment forward. Maybe a cash flow issue?

Even with the batteries disconnected you still have a problem. Driving anywhere and taking avoiding action to avoid an RTA or actually being involved in one will set those batteries brewing again and that concentrated nitric acid is both a fire hazard and a personal injury hazard.

You say repeatedly that you do not have the skills to do any work and yet you are doing precisely that.

But then I'd have to go & fill the lpg tank .
Just wondered if anyone actually knew.

Same with the Truma 4, how much 12v will it use when heating a boiler of hot water.

WTF ??
Really - are you talking out of your rear end?
Have you access to my calendar or that of my service engineers?
Cash flow issue
Nitric acid
Fire hazard - really - any more than me going to Halfords & buying one & transporting it back in my car is a fire risk

Thanks for your contribution.

Very little probably only a couple of hundred millamps or less.
If it was 200ma that would be 4.8ah over 24 hours.
