Stupid question, please help.

[Matt78]

Afternoon,

Sorry for the stupid question, but I’m left unsure!

Just plugging the van in as I do every few weeks and noticed something.

I am sure this box used to display voltage readings!!! Am I making it up or has it failed in some way…thanks

It looks like you have 2 blown fuses as the red leds in your blade fuse holder only light up if fuse has blown.

 

[Matt78]

Thank you, I’ll check that.

 

[Matt78]

I checked and they seem intact but all lights are on If that helps anyone assist?!?!?

Do you think it might be a low leisure battery?

Do you think it needs a new one, thank you

probably stating the obvious, but does it have an on/off switch?
You could also try connecting it directly to mains power if it still has the plug on the end of the cable?

@Matt78 Try what Manfrotto said
See if you can find user manual online failing that connect up you EHU and push that button on the front and see what happens

Thanks, it doesn’t have the plug fitted. It’s hard wired into fuse box. I’ve plugged the EHU in and trying to find a manual. I think maybe I’ve left it a bit long and with no sun the battery has dropped (I’m guessing) my volt meter in cabin is also distorted indicating not enough volts from battery maybe. Is that a good guess?

Thanks Bargy, it’s just cycling through modes and the repair mode. I’m going to leave EHU in for a bit to see if it kicks into life

Is it me or is that crazy cheap for a battery charger? Did that come with a conversion on the van?

Yes mate, was all in there. Would you suggest an upgrade if this one has had it

 

[ben5560]

I mean it looks as though they've put the cheapest one going in there... I would personally have a Victron or Renogy with a higher output....

Thanks Ben, I’ll take a look. Do you think the display has dropped out due to cheap unit or leisure battery drained?

That charger is powered when on hook up power, you saying nothing shows up when the van is plugged in?

No. It’s a blank screen and I’m sure it used to have a reading on it. Also, my four fuse lights are on the blade fuse box but the fuses haven’t blown. Hopefully that makes sense. I’m still teaching myself about it all…

Yeah but it works off mains power... What happens when you go onto hook up power?
