Hi all, Hopefully a straight forward question for you guys. I'm on the final phase of installing my leisure battery, so far I've: - Ran a wire from battery to under passenger seat - Installed renogy 60A dcdc charger (fused live from battery, negative to chassis) - Ran a positive wire to...

Hi I am looking for the size of battery fitted to a T6 transporter? my van is fitted with a 70 AH battery, it have had some upgrades to it parking sencers front and back, heated seats and powered tailgate, the battery is going flat? are the transporters fitted with a larger Ah Battery ?

The battery died on my T6 so I have been having it on trickle charge to recover it. I wanted to get it closer to the house so I connected my booster packet jump start it. The digital dash will not come to life but the van starts and then cuts off after a few seconds which seems unusual. Any...

Hi all- I've had issues (and am still having) with battery drain on my 2021 T6.1 Transporter. I was trying to work out if there was a drain from the tracker & alarm but I also suspect the battery might just be dead and need replacing. I'm after some sage advice from the forum to help!! I'm...

Hi all ... for some reason (as yet unknown) during the last cold spell my LiFePO4 battery drained and I have been unable to recharge it either in the vehicle or on a charger. So I went out and bought an equivalent standard sealed battery to replace it (due to funds at the time). This now seems...

...question but the situation is getting a bit daft. Briefly I bought a VW TRANSPORTER T28 S-LINE TDI BMT Campervan and noticed the Leisure Battery was not keeping charge. I checked all the usual locations (driver's seat, r&r bed) but could not find the battery. The converters who did the job...

...my front seats to feed a cable for a reversing camera. While removing the front seats I had to disconnect all my cables from my leisure battery system. I put labels on all the cables to ensure they went back to the same place and to make sure there was no mistakes. Went to reconnect my...

Hi all, 2021 T6 Leisuredrive Vivante and having fitted a new starter battery 6 mths ago multimeter at best shows 11.88 leisure battery showing 13.80 while on hookup. So it would appear starter battery isn't being charged when on hookup, any advice/help would be greatly appreciated Thanks..

...one of my 2 110Ah batteries is knackered I’m considering replacing with a LifeP04. As my conversion uses a PMS3 for the electrics / battery charging I’m assuming this won’t be suitable to charge a Lithium battery? I have a Victron DC/DC charger fitted, and will be looking at solar soon...

Hi I’ve had a ‘slight’ problem with some leisure battery wiring. This wire runs from my starter battery via a fuse to my b2b charger, it’s 8AWG wire which I thought should be more than enough to carry the current (roughly 3m). It looks like the wire has got so hot that it melted through the...

Possibly a daft question but I wouldn’t be asking if I knew. My T6.1 spends a fair amount of time sat on my driveway. I’m looking at charging the vehicle battery with my smart charger. I have the option of smart battery charging or regular battery charging. Which mode do I select?

Evening all! After replacing my leisure battery and deciding to change my Sterling unit for a Victron DC-DC charger I have also decided to move them from above the battery cupboard in the driver's side rear, and put them in the compartment under the same cupboard that houses the battery and...

Hello. I am a new owner of a 2024 6.1 and concerned that my battery discharges to a very low level if the van is left for about a week. I would not want to leave it at an airport car park for any longer than that. Please could someone advise me what is the buzzing sound when the door is opened...

I've been chasing a parasitic battery drain as after leaving van for a week the starter battery will be flat. Testing between negative battery terminal and negative lead with all doors shut ect im getting around 0.9a drain. If I disconnect the positive cable from starter battery to renogy...

I just put a BM2 battery monitor on my starter battery . Now have a host of error signals , Hill start / front assist/start stop I assume disconnected negative has caused this while I fiddled the bms connection ! VCDS job ?

Hi, I have t6.1 with a ctek 250se and a Duritc battery charger. Just ordered a BM2 as the starter battery is being drained. The van is standing for weeks at a time and I’m leaving on the EHU at weekends but the charger is only charging the leisure battery. Is there a way to stop the starter...

From what I’ve noticed on here, most people who install leisure batteries under a front seat (and have two single seats) choose to install on the driver’s side. Is there any good reason for this?

Hi guys is this AGM or a wet battery ? I thought it was AGM

Hi, I have 2023 T6.1 using a Sargent EC176. Previously I could select either leisure or vehicle battery as power source. However, when I try to select the vehicle battery as source now it says "vehicle battery not connected". I have tried changing the 20a fuse labeled vehicle battery on the...
