Aux batteries draining themselves?

Hi all,

My leisure batteries were on 0% charge when I went out to my Cali the other day. Bit odd, as I was pretty sure I didn't have anything on. After a 10 minute drive, the charge was up to 30%. But the next day the control panel told me there were dead again (although when I tried the lights, they worked.)

So, is this normal behaviour? Or have I got a problem?

Thanks for your help!

A 10 minute drive won't do anything in terms of charging the batteries. You may get a higher reading when you stop but it will soon drop to where it was before.
You need to hook up to the mains for a minimum of 24 hours (i'd give it 48 hours if they're completely drained).
See how they hold their charge before worrying about whether you've got a problem
