Hi all,

I’m hoping someone can give me some advice about the Power Management System 3V we have fitted in our T5.

It is a full conversion, but we aren’t the first owners so my knowledge of the system is very limited.

I have read the other posts about the instruction manual, and have downloaded this.

So, questions are:

1. When plugged into EHU, the battery lights will only go to the middle green light, even when left charged overnight. It never shows full. Is the leisure battery naffed?

2. We have a fridge fitted, and the instructions for the PMS say to leave it off when driving. I have been leaving it on Van, and the battery condition light goes to full when travelling. So is this now the wrong thing I am doing?

3. How can I keep my fridge running when driving?

Any help and tips would be really appreciated.

Sam

Not same system as ours (Sargant) but our fridge bypasses the control system. As long as it's switched on at the fridge itself it will run while driving or static.

Thanks spiritburner.

I think I might get someone to have a look at the system. We’ve just driven back from Filey to Sheffield, and the system has charged the leisure battery from nearly flat to halfway... very confusing as the instructions say to switch it to off when travelling 🤷‍♂️
