ok few details first
Holdsworth villa 3 o.e wiring afaik
2nd battery under passenger seat(normal not lesuire type)afaik
zig unit (8)

Ok few problems firstly while camping i noticed my car radio (no ampfliefier,wired direct to lesuire battery new wires fused10 amp) kept turning itself on and off ,strange i thought!

run a new earth to vans fusebox earth by the way

Anyway got home and have wired radio to o.e radio loom all is fine!,
Now when i attatch car radio direct to 2nd(lesuire battery)nothing else connected to battery it cuts out ,plus with my propex issue i have come to one of 2 conclusions


1)second battery is shagged


2) its just gone flat


How can i tell if its just dead or flat

By the way ive tested and split charge is working at 14v ish so fine
