Suffolk vehicle battery not charging
Good afternoon everyone. I hope you can advise. I don't really understand much about the electrical stuff, so please be kind.
Autosleeper Suffolk, 2011. For various reasons the van has only been out once this season . It is plugged into home electric system, and power is getting to vehicle. The EHU is switched on about 2 days a week to keep batteries topped up, but I think someone has unplugged it without me noticing.
The vehicle battery is flat, and I guess it is dead. The leisure battery seems fine.
When I press the battery button on the control panel by the van door, it beeps twice but doesn't switch on for either leisure battery or vehicle battery.. I don't know whether this is just because the vehicle battery is flat, or if there is a problem with the charging system. I'm guessing I need a new battery, but would this fix the problem?
I'll add photos of the control panels, if I can work o[url=https://servimg.com/view/19975154/11][/url]ut how to do that.

Lesuire battery shows on charge. Vehicle battery at 1.5v, EC325 won't switch at that voltage. Try a separate smart charge direct on the VB.

Morning
Had the AA out yesterday and he jump started the van . I’ve always found them very helpful and pleasant. Battery looking poor, but now on a smart charger, so will see what happens. ( not a lot so far!). Fingers crossed.

Re: Suffolk vehicle battery not charging
Take the battery off and take to Halfords or garage for a load test..think a new battery is needed..my 6 month old battery was reading 13.7 but when I switched the pump on all the lights pump etc stopped working. The draw from the pump was too much. I got an auto elec to check various things and the end result was a dead battery, because it was only 6 months old I had ruled it out. Reading 13.7 because it was topped up by the solar and alternator when driving so testing across the terminal’s it read ok, it’s battery health was 1%..dead..hope this helps.
