been having problems with my battery and not sure where the problem lies.

The battery is 11 months old and never had a starting problem till now.

I have put the charger on the battery for the whole of saturday and sunday last weekend and the weekend before this (garage is away from the house so got to run an extention cable out). In between this it has been on its normal solar charge.

Pod reads 12.9v - 13.4v with all electrics off and drops lower when fans kick in etc. Is this normal? Or does it sound like the 100amp fuse is playing up?

Should be 13.8-14.2V when battery min 50% loaded and in good condition
at mid range revs.
Go to a garage and let them check the alternator, it can be also
a bad earth connection or corroded connection somewere else.

12.8 is too low when engine running, but can be when batterie is empty
and all electr. consumers working!
