I've just purchased an ex demo T7 Ocean Diesel and after the 2 hour drive home from the dealers I checked the battery levels and was suprised to see that the leisure battery was on 20%. I was expecting it to be full after such a long drive.
I've tried and EHU and it charges fine that way. I then went back to trying to charge it using the engine by starting the engine and checking the display. As the images show below, at first I got the expected behaviour, engine power was providing 30A and the leisure battery recieving 25A. But after a few seconds the engine power dropped to OA and the leisure battery quickly when back to -0.2A (the image shows 0.7A but I was abit quick with the camera!) . It would appear that I am unable to charge the leisure battery from the engine for longer than a few seconds.
Any suggestions? I'm new to the vehicle so could I be making a silly mistake somehow?
