Those reading are off main bat only Two volt meters. Volt meter 1 of main battery via cigarette power feed Volt meter 2 of output of split charge relay - activated via a relay so only shows voltage when ignition on. Reconnect relay see if fault returns I did reconnect the switch wire to the relay and could hear the engine tone change and the relay click & battery light on. Unplugged and left unplugged and all OK. I took the view, the issue is relay, or aux batteries. Drop test aux No drop test available - will have to see auto spark What's aux Voltage a day after being charged Normally good - can't recall exact figure. Currently at around 12.4/12.5v last I checked via voltage display on amateur radio wired to the aux battery feed hard wire aux to main see what happens, this could drain main bat! That was a test I was going to do to prove relay or not How old is aux. Whose setup is it? Vsr is What brand? Aux batteries 18-24months ish old. Relay is a 80amp continuous engaged by 12v feed from ignition. no VSR Never had issues before. Had amateur radios, 3 other radios, LED lights, phone charging etc all working fine on rallies without issue. 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

Checked main battery and getting 14.3v at idle.
Each aux battery is 12.26v each. All connected up and aux batteries get 13.87v at idle. Split charge relay re-connected and all appears well so far. I was thinking, time to upgrade to something with more intelligence? Maybe a T-Max for example? 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |
