Batteries held up well, although we did do a wee trip to Langholm. Our heating was on most of the time and we had been a little worried about how much we would use as this is the first winter in it for us, but all ok on this front too.

Mines have really surprised me how they have performed this weekend

Mine are fine as well. Thanks to a 240v trickle charge, and a good bit of solar surprisingly. Wish I could get them to charge via the Alternator. Goodness only knows what I've cocked up this time. I am a handyman. I'm a man and I live handy ly.

I've changed over from one 110ah to two 135ah (270ah total) every thing looks okay. Everything worked okay before. Fuses seem okay, wiring connections seem okay . I may be able to get some help from a very good friend of these forums. Failing that, it's putting hand into pocket time.
Mum never said life was going to be easy.

Forte? Wasn't that a chain of up market restaurants ? Bit like Greggs.

Checked battery’s just now sitting at 13*7

I got away with the weekend okay but we did well for sun and bright sky at Moffat, I think that’s why. It’s been another decent day in Falkirk today although I got a strange result. My control panel has a button to turn on to the habitation battery bank, when we moved from Falkirk wheel to Kelpies I forgot to switch it on when we parked up again.

Got back to the van and realised when I went to check battery state, had batteries showing 12.6v and starter battery showing 13v.

I am assuming fridge must be permanently running from habitation batteries going from that but why still 13v on starter battery that’s wet lead acid?
