[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 289890, member: 1414"] How do you explain the loss of 29AH over a week with nothing switched on? Why do you switch your panels off. Maybe I'm reading wrong, are you saying you usually store your van connected to mains? Bought our van in 2008 already fitted with two panels and two 110AH batteries on board. Sits all summer under a storm cover and surprisingly enough sun leaches through to keep the batteries full. The only time it is connected to the mains is to pull the 3 way fridge down when we are preparing for a trip. When we travel the fridge is on 12V switching to gas when stopped. We run the generator most evenings for approx. 1/2 hour to power the micro wave and boost the batteries. (9kg gas bottle lasts on average two weeks.) Sat TV, Humax recorder, LED lighting & 12V water pump for showers. (Detectors, Garmin's & mobiles are charged in vehicle.) We are now on our second pair of van batteries in 8 years. [/QUOTE]
