Is there anyone out there who can help me. I've forgotten which way the switches have to be for my PMS 3h power unit. The van battery seems to be dying. I never hook up, so should my charger supply button be at on or off while I'm travelling along? and should the cab/middle position/van button be at cab when I'm on the move or in the middle?
Thanks FMF

Hi, I really haven't a clue, but if you have a multi-meter then if you check the voltage on your leisure battery with the switch in each of the various positions and the engine running it should give you and indication of the setting required to charge your leisure battery, hope that helps while you are waiting for a better reply.

On my Swift when on hook up and the battery charger is switched on the Leisure battery will charge if the switch is in the Van position, the Starter battery will charge if the switch is in the Cab position. In the centre position neither battery will charge but the charger will supply 12v to all the 12v electrics, lights, pump etc.

Once the Leisure battery is charged the charger unit should be switched off so that the battery can be cycled with use, this keeps it healthy.

When travelling the engine alternator will charge the Starter battery and if you have a split charge relay fitted the Leisure battery will also get a trickle charge. The switch in the Hab area has no effect on the charging of the batteries.

Phil.
