I recently purchased a 1987 Westfalian Camper with auxiliary battery under driver's seat. This battery was running water pump, fridge and interior lighting, and I had tested/used them several times. DURING MY FIRST REAL TRIP, it seems that this battery is no longer working, didn't hold a charge after I had driven about 30 miles.
The seller did warn me to start/drive the car about once a week, but I blew it and recently left it for a couple of weeks. Is this the reason?
The only other change I can think of is that I plugged a USB connector into the rear cigarette lighter, but didn't plug anything into the connector, just put it there so I could use it sometime. Would that have drained off power?
Interior lights, water pump and fridge work when the van is on . . .
Not mechanically included at all, so whatever I need to do, I will most likely have to take it to a shop.
Any suggestions most appreciated! What should I do?
