LEISURE BATTERY

Looking for someone to help me with my Leisure Battery in my Talbot Express Rambler 1990.
I have only just got this Auto sleeper and although the leisure battery charges when the engine is running it doesn't seem to charge on mains hook up. How do I know if its wired for this.

charging on hook up was an extra.our rambler gl was the same(1992).on site i connect a caravan battery charger through the bulkhead and plug it into a mains plug works a treat.also make sure the two fuses adjacent to the leisure battery are sound and not corroded.go to your local battery dealer and he will fix you up,all the neccesary bits are included.if you need any advice contact me.

Thanks for your reply, what size charger did you use,  I'v seen a charger that you can leave connected up to the battery but it is only 3amp do you think it would be ok

no you need a proper charger to be used as a service charger.go to your nearest battery factor(not a garage that sells batteries)the charger is a dual purpusel unit and can be used as a power source.they cost about £70 . they can be left on all the while you are on site,and will keep your battery charged and help keep all your 12 volt systems going with out running the leisure battery down.if you look at them in your local caravan shop you will see what i mean.they will be more expensive there of course.as a thought google your battery dealers and one near you will pop up.good luck. george.
