Hi we have a Abbey Impression 2000 and have tried using the leisure battery and we have lights but no power to the sockets. The battery is showing full, are we not doing something obvious to get the power to go to the sockets.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks Theresa

The battery will supply 12v only.

You need to be connected to the mains via your electric hook up lead (EHU) to get mains power to your sockets.

The power sockets only work on electric.

Hi, you could fit an inverter, This connects to a 12v supply and will provide you with  240v without the need for EHU. The appliances you can run depends on the size of the inverter, the items used and for how long, But a 300w on a 85ah battery will run tv's, lights, fridge, etc although anything with a heating element is out of reach. hope this helps
