Kevin Taylor Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks for the help guys, fitting another battery seems to have worked, but need to give it a few days to make sure that it is being charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will you be able to tell after a few days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Taylor Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Presumably the battery voltage will start to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Not after a few days it wont, you need to test it under load ideally with a load test meter, failing that you can current test the panel. The only way to test without a meter is to remove the mains for a few hours and see how long the panel stays live for, once the bell starts ringing put the mains back on for 24 hours, then remove it again. If the sounder sounds immediately the charging circuit is fooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
