my van battery is starting to go dead on my leisure relay system once a week, the main van battery will have to be recharged
is this because i dont have a switch fitted after the battery

sounds like a faulty split charger to me, when the engine is off the pump on your system shouldnt be allowed to draw from your vehicle battery

Did you fit the split charger yourself?

no an auto spark
he z its all fine
but sometimes wen i fire the engine up (the split relay) it doesnt make any nooise other times it does
i also installed a new switch today
so how do i know whats at vault
could it be the main battery as was used on its own without the leisure relay for at least 2 years

Could be, if you got a multimeter drop that on battery with engine running, should be between 13 and no more than 14 volts if its doin its job. Then test leisure battery doin the same. Put meter on battery20v or thereabout. As long as its volts side it Will show correct on meter.

Check the earth lead on the alternator isn't corroded,and not getting a proper contact,but it sounds like it could be your van battery mate!

did you get a new battery for the van.
if so then it should be fully charged, so after you have driven the van for a little while it should switch over to the second battery.
go for a little drive and check what the voltage is on the rear battery while the engine is running.
