Leisure battery not charging from shore power


 

Thanks Duane and David for your information. I will look at these options. I am in the UK so will have to see what is available here. It is the original so I take your point that it is worth upgrading.
My furnace stopped working a while back and I'm wondering if it is connected to the same problem with the converter.
Cheers


 

If your 95 is original, the convertor installed is made by Magnatek. This provides ~12 volts to charge your leisure battery when connected to shore power, and 12-ish volts to the other 12 volt outlets in the camper area. As Duane mentioned, there are many "better" convertors/chargers available. I chose the same one Duane mentions, and you can read about how I did it here: .

I think this is definitely one area where "replace" is better than "fix" - the original convertor is a poor performer.

You can search the message archive for info about what other folks have chosen to use, and how they did it. Lots of information over the years.

If I was to do it over, I would probably choose to go with something from Victron - their gear is quite nice. That said, the Intelli-Power PD9245 has served me well for over a decade.

If you are planning to switch to Lithium batteries, that is something else to consider - you need to install a converter that can charge those "correctly", as well as a DC to DC charger to charge them "correctly" while driving.

Sounds to me like your converter/charger isn't working.? Just replace it, preferably with a better one like the PD9245.

My leisure battery is not charging while on shore power. I get a good voltage to the leisure battery leads when the engine is running.
I am getting power to the 110v outlets when on shore power.
Can anyone please suggest what the problem might be and how to solve it?
Many thanks in advance.
