Bonjour, I have some problem with the battery of my Westy 85 (we don't use it a lot these times since it's winter, and we have a Jetta with four snow tires). I suppose that the battery is more than 2 years older since it was there when we had buy the Westy. In the summer there is no problem at all, except that the green light doesnt light a lot of time, it goes to yellow after, say, two days of inactivity. We asking ourselves about the fact that the refrigerator could drain a little the battery in off position. Last winter suddenly (after one week of big cold), the battery became died, I charge it (slow charge), it had taken less than 5 hour. This year, before the snow, there was no problem, if I run a little the indicator (in the Westy part) goes to green, but this week, the battery was in the red position, so the engine not start. After a while, the light goes to yellow, and I was able to start the engine (it was for snow removal...). I plan to charge the battery this week-end. My question is, do you think that this battery is near the end of its life (I think this battery is 3 years old, but a camper is a lot of use of the battery without the engine running).
