Sargent control panel/vehicle battery

[Mollysone]

Hello everyone

 

I have a Toyota Alphard camper van conversion fitted with a Sargent control panel. 

 

The panel is displaying the leisure battery level, but if I switch to vehicle battery level nothing shows up, am now wondering if the split relay is not working between the vehicle and leisure battery if no vehicle level displayed?

 

Should the vehicle battery level come on the display?

 

Many thanks

Hello Molly,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Is this a problem on a vehicle you have just bought, or a new problem on a vehicle you have had for some time?

 

Is your starter battery in tip-top condition ?

Hello Rojie

 

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated.

 

Yes, not long had the vehicle, a new conversion, leisure battery is new and showing 14 after I plugged in electrical lead to see if topping up as it was below 12 after a drive, which made me think leisure battery not charging via vehicle battery and no display showing when toggled to vehicle battery on control panel?

 

Thanks

If you bought from a conversion business, take it back and get them to fix it.

Or, at least, call the convertor.

 

You will have Consumer Rights to support you.

 

If you bought privately, unfortunately, you will need to resolve the problem yourself.

Although I cannot help you, you have come to the right forum.

 

I feel sure help will be at hand asa the holiday period is over.

Thanks Rojie

 

I bought it from a dealer, will give them a call, they are very helpful, just wondered if it was something easy that I was missing, maybe a loose connection.

 

Great forum, very informative and interesting and helpful, thanks :)
