I have had my 110 v vattery since buying the caravan new 2 years ago and use it on my twin axle for my Powr touch quad mover to move the caravan off and on my drive, so it is essentail I keep the battery in good condition.

As I can keep the caravan on the drive, over the winter I have been plugging in the mains approx every week to 10 days for an evening and keping the battery topped up and puuting the heating on occasionally.

I am getting readings of between 12.7 and 12.8 volts fro the caravan battery meter when the mains is not connected.

Can anyone tell me if that is the right sort of reading for a healthy 110v battery as I was considering changing it for a new one before Easter if not.

Thanks

My reads 14.3 volts under charge and 13.3 volts when I turn off the charger. Question is, does it actually hold the charge?

Suggest you turn off the charger and see if it drops.

12.7 volts is a fully charged battery , sounds like there's some life left in it to me .

ours is plugged in 24/7 at home coming from the shed.i use a good timer (do not buy cheap,dangerous) this comes on for 3 to 4 hours a day and that keeps the battery fully charged for the mover and also runs our dehumidifier for the same time.checked battery yesterday and it was 13 volts not on EHU.12.7 is a full charge.its only like being on a site and plugged in to EHU.
