Westy Leisure battery

Post by cooky73 »

The control light is green after a run but if I stop, then turn on my eberspacher it goes orange then red within about a minute then the eber dies as well.

Is my battery past it?

If you start the eber with the engine running and leave it in it runs all day then.

If it dies that quick then I would say the battery is had it.

The eber cuts out below a certain voltage (10.5v I think) so with the engine running it will stay on, also should work with hookup pluged in?

Had the same probelm recently with mine,,,,,,,,

Get another battery mate not worth all the hassle of taking them in and out.......cos lets face it, it can be a pain in the ass.

There was a thread around here somewhere about a battery that fits under there.........

Try the wiki ^ top of the page.....................
I'll have a recci too while I'm at it and see if I can find the link.
