Hi, I have a 2016 Lunar Clubman S.I. The solar panel control panel has flashing yellow lights, the caravan is in storage with the mains turned off, I worry that it will cause the battery to go flat Or  Is this normal?

Thanks Pete

    Doesn't the flashing light with all power isolated mean it's charging the battery..?

    i don't know your specific setup, but I think that's right. It is on my 2016 Swift.

    A fast flashing light shows its charging so don't worry. It won't drain your battery and just shows everything is working as it should. 

    However,  a slow flashing light means that it's not charging so you would need to check connections, fuse etc.

    On my 2015 Delta, there is a steady light which shows charging and it flashes when the battery is fully charged.

    I had an instruction manual with my 2016 Delta. Did you not get one with the clubman?

    On the Delta a flashing green light shows that the battery is fully charged.
