UPDATE
LB still on charge,being an unsealed battery is the acid supposed to bubble whilst charging
Have contacted Willinton and a new relay is been sent out tomorrow so fingers crossed this will fix the problem.
Just like to say thanks for all advice and a big thank you to Willinton for another first class service.

Re: Electric Blinds and Radio Not Working
Possibly but only a little bit, that's Oxygen and Hydrogen in them bubbles and a naked flame could cause a BANG, keep it well ventilated.

Re: Electric Blinds and Radio Not Working
Update.
LB now charged from a battery charger
checked output with engine off I'm getting 12.3v and with the engine running the same 12.3v is this right or should I see a slight increase
SB with engine off 12.56v and with the engine running 14.46v. Like I said in a previous post Martin is sending me a new relay to change
Fingers crossed problem should be sorted

Re: Electric Blinds and Radio Not Working
You should see an increase in the voltage with the engine running, it does sound like the relay is not charging the LB.dandemann8 wrote:Update.

Re: Electric Blinds and Radio Not Working
New relay arrived today from Martin (Willinton), checked output's again b4 fitting just to make sure I hadn't misread my multimeter and for sure 12.4v with and without engine running
. Next step fit new relay and check output again, 12.4v without engine running and 14.43v with the engine running
I would just like to say a big thank you to Martin for is help and speed in sending me a new relay.
