Leasure battery level issue

We own a 2007 Cali T5. After winter, the level measuring the leasure battery drops quickly tot about 70% and then 50%. I asked the dealer to check both battery's, they confirmed they are in a good condition. The battery's were completely loaded, but the problem persisted.

We bought this Cali 2 years ago, second hand, so I don't know the history of both battery's. Should I beleive the dealer (the could have sold me new battery's so why would they lie?) or the measurement - can it be defective?
 
Are they original?
Are you charging them from the mains on a monthly basis as stated in the manual?
A simple check may say they are OK but you really need them checked under load.
 
OK - sorry for this late response. We have some camping weekends coming up, so I can check if they are really keeping their charge as before. If not, I will have to replace them...
 
When you say the level drops, over what time period and under what load?

It is quite normal for the battery level indication to drop from 100% to 90% just a few minutes after disconnection with minimal load.
