Battery only lasts 2 years and a bit?

Is Pressing The Clutch Pedal While Starting The Car In Neutral Necessary?

The above question is the first thing that strikes a learner’s mind. This is because the learning drivers face this problem to the highest degree.

A lot of modern cars won't start anyway until the clutch is pressed, as does our Fiesta but I never press the van's clutch.

A fiesta is not a car but a unreliable skip on wheels, we had one here 30 years back, worst bit of crap ever, I see a big fight looming and im of to bed, pronto.

I have an AMT12-2

Yes, I have that as well. I think I saw your posts about it, but I'd forgotten them, so I'll go back and have a read. Thanks.

I have Victron monitoring all over everything and I can see that the Ablemail is maintaining a constant voltage, but it's at just under 12.2V, and I'd prefer it a bit higher. However, it's been like that since I built the van so it's probably not the direct cause.

I've just been on a couple of days away, with a 2-hour trip trip in each direction, and the start-stop kicked in on the way back, so hopefully the battery is now happy. I'll keep an eye on it for a bit.
