Hello!
I have a Schaudt EBL99 in a Hymer Van 522 from 2006. It is still of those old ones that only charge the lead acid battery for 1h and the gel for 8h but it's already the 18A charger version. It has a couple of issues.
1. One is that suddenly and out of the blue it switches off and won't turn on again or, when it is on, it just won't turn off anymore. This goes for a few hours and the it comes back to to normal. I have observed this in so many occasions that I can confidently say now that it is not related to temperature, low battery voltage, overcurrent, anything that I know as objective and measurable. Sometimes it is as if it goes into protection mode and switches off even the "allways on" outputs. Could it be one of the 2 power relays? Or the integrated circuit that controls the relays? Or something else? What os your suggestion?
2. The other issue the volt and water meter in the control panel, the IT95, doesn't work. The meter it self is damaged, I have tested it and, the circuit is supplying a voltage in the range, between 2 and 4V, I can'treally remember exactly. I already found one supplier in the UK that seems to have it but my question is: is the fault at the meter only or somewhere else in the circuit that might cause them to burn? They are expensive and I wouldn't want to fit a new one and get it burnt again soon. Or is it only a matter of age?
Thank you for your care and comments!
Paulo.
