Hi, got in the van tday the battery has got no power, i think the interior light came on a week ago and drained the batterys ? jump leads were out and started it up in 5 mins no worries, took off the leads went for a drive for 40 mins , turned off the engine again still flat wont start

do i take out one of the batterys and charge it up fully,if so is it the leisure battery or both batterys , i hope that it is just the batterys and nothing else. all the best John.

charge up the starter battery for about three days.

when you restart the engine the alternator will pile in loadsa amps for the "leisure"

ies, if you can charge them both, if possible out of the van, check the fluid levels too while they are out!
