Hi pete

I haven’t actually , my dog isn’t well so got sidetracked

But will be getting back on it in the next few weeks

Took a battery reading yesterday and today and noticed a vast difference, where as before would have been a lot lower

Couldn’t agree more , at least it’s killed off the parasitic battery drain Thumbs Up

Have been taking a daily screenshot of my battery voltage each day via the app to see how well the battery is doing

Originally starting with a battery drain of around 0.38 A and then dropping to 0.3 A was a great result

Don’t know how many volts that is but knew it was seriously killing my battery

Thks again Thumbs Up

Dropping to 0.03A I think you mean.

Have been monitoring the battery condition and slowly watching it drop day by day

Will see how longs it lasts, seeing there’s no battery drain there anymore

Wondering if the battery is on its way out, is only 2 x years old, unless its because of the parasitic drain and having to be recharged all the time, will check the readings each day

Looks ok to me.

Having a ctek hooked up shouldn't break it.

Thks pete, maybe I’m just a bit paranoid, indeed I used a ctek, have it plugged into the 12s socket , not sure if it charges my leisure battery at the same time or have to swap the ctek over to it

May i ask , how long does ur battery last if not used plse Thumbs Up

Thks
