Hi guys , what does everyone do with their leisure battery’s when going away for a week? Iv took mine out the van and put it in charge in the garage but not sure whether to leave it on all week or charge when I get back?

Charge it up and then leave it disconnected.

It will be fine.

Good job you said! It IS on a concrete floor 🤦‍♂️

I just looked this up on google. It seems that in days of yore this was good advice but nowadays redundant. Are there any reasons why it is still valid?

[Smudger]

My guys left a battery on the unit floor it was dead after a week

You don’t need to do anything with it , it’s better to charge it up but that’s all having it doing nothing for a week won’t do it any harm

I left mine on charge for 2 weeks in May whilst on holiday.....they are designed for that.

No worries, it’s fully charged now - was a bit worried about it going flat by the time I come back that’s all

Isn’t your battery knackered now?

If you have a smart charger yes it will  be  fine if just a normal one it will boil the batter and kill it

[JandS]

Yes mine is on a smart charger.
Yes mine is probably knackered but I don't think leaving it on charge for 2 weeks did it.
Did the same with the last one and that lasted for nearly 4 years.
They're designed to be left on charge...as far as I know you can even use them whilst still on charge.

I always take mine on holiday with me .

[Slacky]

I was going to say the same thing. It’ll probably feel recharged if you do.

Not all of us class camping in a lay-by as a holiday so it’s not an option 😂

Not recommended. The negatives outweigh any positives. Just send a postcard.

Was it terminal?
I hope you charged them.

If you are just a  cold water user I don’t know why people are so concerned about charging once charged or new if you have a split setup  in the van they last forever without the need for a regular bench charge,they become more of an issue once you introduce a diesel heater.

I only do about 3500 miles a year so I didn’t think a split setup would work for me. I literally drive 5 mins from my house to the 1st job then 1-2 minute drive between each job

There’s a few I see about that just wire from the main battery they always have carried a spare but have never needed it.
