Guessing here, the IBS is a controller of some sort that monitor the current going in/out of the battery (assumingly a shunt to measure over). Measuring current while keeping track of time generates Ah data hence give a feel for battery usage. Im sure you can google around to confirm. Get a voltage meter ($20 buck will do, good to have) and measure on the battery poles. That way you'll know for sure if proper voltage get there.

Ps. Time running the engine counts, rather than mileage, just to be sure.
Thanks I will get a voltmeter to the poles of the battery to see what they read.

Apologies you are right I should have said in time rather than miles travelled. I would say on my journey home the engine was running for 90 minutes.
