Now here's a curious thing

[AntigravityP]

I got home from work today and as I walked past my van (2018 Swift Escape 664) I could hear a beeping from inside. I went to take a look inside and it was the Carbon Monoxide alarm beeping showing 188ppm. Nothing was on, everything seemed fine and I can't see any reason for it. I didn't want to go in for long ( just in case) so I opened the roof vent, closed the door and left it for an hour. When I came back it was showing zero, as I would expect.

Anyone any idea what might have caused it? There were certainly no smells of burning / overheating. The heater hasn't been on for a week or more.

It seems strange.

Backup battery?

Leisure batteries all ok?

The vehicle battery under the floor needs replacing, I know, but why the CO?

Your OH has been in for a crafty fag and bacon fry up..

Maybe another vehicle exhaust has been too close with the engine running and contaminated the air in your van?

from what ive read on here the alarms will detect a gassing battery check your leisure for swelling or warmth

I am changing the vehicle battery on Saturday. In the meantime, I have disconnected the EHU in case it knackers it further.

I think you may be right about the missus and the bacon bap, sounds plausible.

I have had this previously and like you was flumoxed. Turned out to be the habitation batteries (or one of the two) I replaced them both.
