Rigt gents, that battery I had was no good, or at least I hought so, It would charge, but i'd only ever get a few minutes of power from it using a single LED light, the voltage meter I have installed showed it drop fairly quickly, usually cutting out around 12.7v or so, which I think is about right......
I got a new battery this evening and when I installed it I thought I had it solved since the LED lit right away before even starting the enginge to give t any charge, unfortunately this was short lived. and a few minutes later it had lost power.
Apart from looking at everything agan, the only thing I can think is that my earth for the leisure battery might not be working, I have it connected to the load bay floor 'lip' at the front, behind the passenger seat I might take a sharp knife to it and scrape teh paint off to ensure it's a proper job.
would a dodgy earth cause the power to drain too fast? or have i totally missed something here? all teh fuses in my fuse box are low, 5-10 amps ad none are blowing......
im definately isoated from my main battery as i can allways start, but power just seems to drain so fast from the leisure battery....
