Hi, newbie here and wondering if anyone can suggest anything
My current setup in my Renault trafic camper
4x 100w renogy solar panels in parallel but done in 2 separate inputs to the 30A Renogy Rover MPPT controller and then 5x130Ah leisure batteries so a 12v setup, all is brand new and I've never let the charge drop below 50%. It also has a split charge relay from the alternator to charge while I drive
I have 3 led lights that run from the controller at 12v and a 1500w pure sine wave inverter wired directly to the battery bank
The inverter literally runs a 40l 240v fridge which at peak shows 200w when on full blast but I have it on a low setting so 45w when it's on
After a full charge and 100% reading, if I leave the fridge on overnight by 8am the charge is reading around 70%.... Understandable I guess?
My worry is that with everything powered off, fridge & inverter so absolutely no load at all overnight, my morning reading is still between 75&80%
Is this normal with temperature change or do I have a power drain somewhere?
The only change I haven't tried yet is to disconnect the relay but the van battery is brand new as well
Any advice much appreciated guys, & thanks
James
