Wondering if anyone can help "Is this Normal?"I have noticed recently that my onboard charger starts to "buzz" after a time. Have just taken caravan out of storage and installed the battery which I charged in the shed. MY Battery is fully charged. is this the norm when the battery can charge no longer if there is nothing running?

No it is not the norm, when a proper charger has done it's job fully charging a battery, it automatically drops back to 'maintenance' charge which keeps the battery at a high state of charge without undue gassing,
This is in the region of 13.5v to 13.8v and what your X70 is permanently set at, it therefore is faulty.

From memory it's a tall square transformer type component in the middle of the pcb doing the buzzing. Sorry I don't know why it's doing it, but as far as I know it will still work if you can put up with the buzzing?!
