Hi,
Just taken my 2 berth caravan out for first time in months and the battery was flat, so couldn`t use the mover - not a problem, just hooked up and off we went. After 4 days on a site, I found the battery was only 3.75v - it hadn`t charged up. I found the switch to pass power through to the charger was not ON. Now got 11.85v in battery, same at Carver electronic control unit, but nothing happens when I switch ON the remote. I changed the remote batteries and thought to re-pair the remote/electronic control unit, as it was still not working.   Instructions to `pair` states, hold button down at control unit for approximately 5secs, a green light on the control unit should illuminate, then quickly press remote button twice, within 1sec.   The green light does not illuminate, even after 20secs??? Before we left home, when I tried to use the mover, it just clicked a couple of times and moved a tiny bit - I`m talking about 2mins on a clock, after that, nothing.   I`m thinking I may have burnt out the windings during that 10sec attempt to switch it on, and need a new control unit??????? Any advice would be gratefuly received TIA

Fully charged battery should be about 12.8 so your battery is still flat at 11.85.

many thanks, was thinking that too. The manual stating 10.7v was too low, so I was expecting it to work when over 11v. But, it`s back on charge for another few hours
