Traxide dual battery issue (i THINK)
Hello all
i have a dual battery set up in my Disco 4 2011. the main battery is what came with the car i have replaced the Aus battery in the last 3 months. i feel that there may be a problem with my Traxide SC80 unit. When i have both batteries hooked up together i am getting battery drain to the point that i have to start the car every second day or it wont start. The starter battery to be honest is probably not 100% but it does hold charge. the issue is this morning i went out and check the battery voltage both the starter and the aux battery read 12.54 volts and the green light on the traxide was solid, so all good. i then disconnected the traxide unit to create to separate batteries the starter battery climbed to 12.79 volts and the Aux battery went to 12.89 volts. This to me feels like the traxide unit is pulling power from both the batteries. any ideas. i would have thought with these reading the 2 batteries combined through the Traxide unit should be around the 12.79 Volts i may need to replace the traxide unit i have with another one. any other suggestions would be great.
