DC voltage drop.

Have just moved site today and although everything seems to be working on EHU I have just noticed that the DC voltage is reading just under 12.5 volts instead of the usual charge of 13.5 to 14, which I think it was reading up till today. We have been away in the van for 4 weeks, always on EHU, without an problems. Could it be that our leisure battery has given up the ghost?

I know you are all dying to know the outcome.wink

We managed to continue with our trip but were parsimonious with the battery use, as much as we could be, and the DC voltage was still reading just under 12v when we got home. Our service engineer checked the whole system out and it was a defunct charger unit in the PDU. That is now replaced, and the battery is fine too, thankfully. So now ready for the off again.
