I have a Transit motorhome and the leisure battery appeared to be flat so I tried charging it. The charger amp meter wouldn't move when I switched on the mains, as it normally does, it just remained motionless at under 1 amp. After several hours of charging the battery still gave a reading of 10.58v.
When I put the tester on the charger leads (whilst they were still connected to the battery) they gave a reading of over 14 volts (I forget exactly how much).
Furthermore, when I connected the charger to the vehicle battery (which previously gave a reading of 12.4v) the amp meter immediately jumped up to
4amps, when the mains was switched on.The battery is two years and 8 months old and is guaranteed for three years, so I would welcome any views before I take it back to the supplier, my mechanical knowledge being very feeble!
Many thanks in anticipation.
