I have the double battery in my car and I have probably a CTEK problem.

My car is parked since yesterday without driving. My fridge was running, and this morning I saw my main battery was at 12V and my auxiliary at 12.80V.

The trickle charging of the main battery through the auxiliary battery doesn't seem to work.




I checked the warning lights, and according to the manual it means the auxiliary battery is too hot. But, the car didn't drive, the ambient temperature is 18°, and the battery doesn't feel hot.

Anyone any idea?
(CTEK 250 installed, but not solar panels connected)
 
As battery ages they can deteriorate at different rates, but if the fridge is on the main battery it maybe drawing power faster than the trickle charge from the aux to the max, via the CTEK120S.

Look at the 24 hour graphs from each battery to see if there is a variance in power draws.
