Batteries down to 11.50


With all that is going on at present, I forgot to disconnect our 2 van batteries.

Just had a reading of 11.50 so I have no attached the C.Teck charger to the batteries.

When they are fully charged, would it be advisable for me to disconnect the batteries??

Buggered if we  know when we will be out and about in our van. 

First trip will be to visit our 2 sons and families in Victoria. Planning for a Christmas get together.

One can only pray!!!

As previously mentioned I jacked up the van and half rotated all 4 tyres.

We like you are obeying the virus rules but we do miss our outside contacts.

Best of good health to all

If you can plug them In to a smart charger every few months, I would leave them connected, but with no draw on them.

But I am just a lazy mug punter.

If there is a vampire load disconnect them & give the batteries a charge every so often.

Pump the tyres to their maximum psi while sitting there doing nothing.

I am not a techie

In my opinion, at times when parked up, and you are not charging your batteries
It would be better to disconnect them, and check them at least monthly

I usually leave my batteries connected, as the roof solar keeps them topped up

Edit to say, that I am now thinking of disconnecting my batteries, due to the uncertainty, of when future travel will commence, due to the coronavirus
