Check the battery in yer meter is ok. When they is going flat they can make the meter give the wrong result.Had an unsuccessful day investigating my flat battery. Battery is a Bosch and 1 year old today. Charging via permanently attached leads while the battery remains on / connected to the vehicle. The CTEK charger would only get it up to 12.2 - 12.3 volts before saying its fully charged and going into monitor mode. Tried 2 times to charge it and after only 1/2 hour it says full. Thought the charger might be getting a false feedback from the tracker which has its own internal battery, or from the BBUS which also has its own battery. So disconnected the permanent supply to the tracker and tried charging again. No change. So disconnected the battery from the vehicle altogether and tried another charge. No joy, still only getting up to 12.2 - 12.3 volts before going into monitor mode. I will try again tomorrow, but with a traditional charger. Three main suspects at the mo are 1. Charger cattle trucked. 2. Multimeter telling porkies. 3. Battery is brown bread. Worst case scenario - its all three
I'll nip round to the coop tomorrow and get a new batt for the meter. Would be good if that's the problem.Check the battery in yer meter is ok. When they is going flat they can make the meter give the wrong result.
You may have a point there.
The fruit apparently secrets a latex type stuff, sure that could come in handy for something.

Hope you will come and tell us, so we can all suggest hanging is needed.

Oh yeah!?Was gonna ask that.
Buy some cheap board (big bit of cardboard) then you could make a template in CAD, before you mess up the expensive worktop.

Soemtimes you can fool a charger by connecting two batts up with jump leads then charging both via one, if you get me. I did it the other day and got an old batt up to 12.7 volts.
