Hi,

I have a Bailey Pursuit II 2019.

Got back from a week in Setthorns on the 22 July and because of misunderstanding the fridge was left on battery without the mains connected.

Yesterday I found this out and plugged the mains in to charge the battery. This morning it was at 13.16V just after charging.

Now I fear the battery is not good any more but if there was by chance a low battery disconnect in circuit then it may be Ok.

So does any one know if there would be one fitted. I've tried the usual Google searches and read the manual but no luck.

I can check the battery by connecting a 12V car bulb across it and monitoring the voltage but it's not the whole answer.

I need motor movers to get it on my drive and don't want to get stuck.

Any advice?

Many thanks

Andy

Andy, agree with peedee and don't think you have a problem. Your voltage seems ok but to be sure give it a 24 hr charge using a charger, not the caravan one, leave it a day then test again using a multi meter. Put some load on it, lights or something and see what the reading is.
