At 10.30am this morning it measured 12.35V, which if accurate means that it's still got around 60% of maximum charge. The 21W lamp has been connected for 20 hours now, so we've had approx 36Ah, which suggests that the total battery capacity is about 90Ah - not bad for a battery that is over 4 years old.

I think I've been lucky

To be honest, I wasn't especially distressed when I found out that I'd forgotten to open the battery isolator. I was intending to replace it this year anyway.

FWIW, the battery was down to 11.99V at 12.25am (WEDS). This is approx 34 hours discharging at say 1.8 amps = 61Ah approx. For a 4 year old 110Ah battery, that's not bad at all.   I've put it back on to recharge now.

The next time I have to go to a caravan dealer (I'll have the Burstner serviced in Feb), I think I'll buy another and pension this one off.
