Afternoon everyone
My question has probably been asked many times and probably loads of answers but I will ask again for some advice.
Our 2012 T5 California is fitted with two leisure batteries both fitted at the the same time 12/2019. (HLB678). I have been externally charging them before our trips but have noticed whist they charge up that within c6 hours of fridge use (setting 3), the control panel goes to less than 70% and then a short time later there is no leisure battery symbol available just a flashing sign and zero reading. I think the batteries are shot. I have inspected them and one has a very low green light the other nothing.
I would like to replace them but with what and something a bit better! The batteries were installed we bought the van and fitted with HLB678 batteries.
Should I replace with the same, if available or is there a better product out there? We are hoping that just using the fridge and internal lights and charging our phones the battery life will be 4 + days before a recharge is required.
We also have a plug in external solar panel when required but where we have parked we have been unable to source good sunlight!
Many thanks for any advice.
Regards
Adrian
