Hi - first post on here.
I've got a 1995 T4 Cali westfalia. Lefty.
The original battery charger burnt out on our first trip away when we hooked up!
I had a new intelligent charger fitted last week by an auto electrician at a camper van specialist.
We have 2 leisure batteries that are about 2 years old which he checked and said were holding good charge (on the trip away they powered the fridge for at least 2 days with no engine running)
Problem is now the display unit constantly flashes on 15.1v when driving. When engine not running it shows a normal charge showing, usually around 14.8v.
I took it back to the garage and he said it was probably because the display unit isn't configured to the new charger. He checked the car battery and said this was charging normally.
I've since tried the hook up and I don't get the hook up signal on display, but the internal socket works so know its charging - BUT also it flicks straight to flashing 15.1v on the display.
I left the fridge on for about day (justing running off leisure battery) and found it had run down
Does any of this sound right, or is the new charger potentially buggering up things?
thanks if you can help, before i go back to auto electrician.
