It's how long your batteries will last at the current rate of use.
I ignore it as it seems to make up the numbers.

If your present current draw remains a constant, then your battery will run out of power in 3 days and 4 hours.
Your ‘time remaining’ will change to reflect your current draw at the time you view it.

Hi many thanks for that , however , at present I’m not using any power from the batteries I’m on EHU, so as Lenny said I’ll take no notice of that , thanks

You are still using the batteries to power up anything that uses 12v. The only difference is that your mains charger will be charging up the batteries as well.

Not in all cases Peter, as the BCA PDU mains charger fitted to the likes of the newer Elddis's has a dual output, one to charge the leisure battery and the other output supplies the 12v system directly when on EHU, sort of odd, but that's a British van for you.

Bailey have been doing that since at least 2017.
