Battery question

Can anyone answer a question for a technical amateur please.

I keep my 2014 Warwick XL permanently plugged into the mains so I never have battery problems when it is out of use.

I went in there to check all is well today and I think I may have a battery or a charger problem but I'm not sure.

The charger light is on but when I look at the active battery display for the leisure battery on the control panel it shows 13.7 V for the battery but only 19% for the amp hours. The handbook says that as the battery is charged this reading should increase. As the van has not been used for four weeks and has been continuously plugged in I would have expected it to read  90 % plus especially as the manual suggests that a reading of 13.7 volts indicates a well charged battery.

The Battery Ammeter gauge is at zero so no current appears to be going in or out of the battery again suggesting it is charged up.

Can anyone tell me if I'm misunderstanding the manual or confirm that that I probably do have a problem somewhere?

Thanks in advance

Your Sargent control panel needs calibrating is it the Sargent EC480. Your battery is fine.

To access the advanced settings, on the home screen (the one with the company / brand logo),



press and hold the up and down arrows together. Continue holding these buttons until the



screen changes.



Then you can scroll to the %age screen and with the buttons you can then reset to 100%.

that sorted it out...thanks John.

Do have any idea why that would have happened?


cheers

I don't know Garry I've had to adjust mine a few times and also the clock setting.

John.

They are obviously linked then as I also had to adjust the time on my clock.

Thanks again.
