Hi guys. I’m new to the scene and have a few questions I really would like help with. I have a 2011 swift challenger 530 and want to know the following:
When I am on EHU does my caravan take charge straight from the hook up or via battery? There is a charger which will supply items in the caravan until it reaches maximum output, after that point the battery will supply the extraQuote:
If I don’t use my caravan for a couple of months do I have to recharge the battery? Depends on battery type, with a flooded i.e. you can top it up, then needs recharging around every 6 weeks, with a AGM you can normally have three times that time before rechargeQuote:
How would I know how much charge my battery has? The normal way is voltage, when not on hook up then normally 12.8 volt is fully charged, but only real way is with a hydrometer, but voltage is a good indicator. Quote:
How long could I go away for just on the battery without an EHC?
Thank you guys!!!!
If you use just one lamp for say 5 hours a night (8W) and the water pump with a 75 Ah battery you could get two weeks, with a 110 Ah may be 3 weeks, however if you have more than one lamp, and a central heating fan running you may struggle to get 2 days.
Years ago the caravan had gas lights, and a foot pump for the water, and my mother would take me (as a 6 year old) in a caravan for whole of summer holidays from school, no hook up, and battery would last as it hardly did anything, even the fridge had a pilot no need for battery to light it. But those days are gone.
