Hiya, Have just installed Yuasa 75AH battery in T6; as my original 2018 battery was probably shot. Only charged to 12.21V on a run; then a couple of days later 11.9V. Van has not been getting the use to keep charge. Thought 6 years was a fair wack for a battery. Been having some issues for a...

Hi, I've had a little search but am still unsure. So I fried my inverter which was linked up to the leisure battery. I have received a Bluetti 100v2 powerstation. Is it possible to hook the system up in a way to charge the powerstaion up from the leisure battery? I'm not to clued up on how the...

Hi Guys, my T6 has a factory fitted lesiure battery under the right hand seat. I have disconnected the cables to the battery and tested the voltage coming out of them. I am only getting 10.93 volts. Is this normal as the battery is not charging.

...great. I’m currently in the middle of a Scottish road trip (with a 6 month old using some saved up paternity leave!) and had a flat starter battery today after having been parked up for 2 hours and then sitting in the van for an hour with the lights and heat on (with Van switched selected so...

Hi all - I'm after some advice... The previous owner of my 2017 T6 Caravelle Executive had a leisure battery fitted by a conversion company... but they've used a wet lead acid leisure battery and a VSR under the driver's seat which (if I understand correctly) is not really best practice given...

Discovered today that the battery is flat or in the RAC mind is dead Have been advised to purchase a new one as charging it will not do anything... well will not hold a charge Any advice on the best battery to purchase and from whom RAC wanted £300 for the battery, installation, and...

Hi all. My apologies that i don’t own T6 but mechanical something similar, 2024 Skoda Octavia vRS diesel , same engines, battery and smart alternator. I see a lot of battery info on here so thought i’d post a question. Not sure what to make of my battery, car is 18 months old. I put my Topdon...

...for some reason so hoping a few of the house experts can help me with what are probably easy/dum questions! Now I have a 110Ah AGM leisure battery - under seat, charged Victron DC-DC charger - and I think after a couple of years usage that it might be coming to the end of its life (struggles...

Has anyone seen the new DIN size leisure battery from Fogstar? https://www.fogstar.co.uk/products/fogstar-drift-12v-175ah-din-fit My standard 100Ah lead acid one is rubbish and I always suffer from battery anxiety. Assume lifepo would regulate voltage better and be more stable. The space I...

Hi, I'm back heeling my pathetic Lion battery on my T6 and thinking of buying a Bosch 850 cca 95Ah. They're listed at around £400 on Euro Car Parts, yet the same brand new battery on ebay is selling at £166. Big difference! I messaged the seller and he says they are genuine units, direct from...

Hello there, I've installed a Victron DC-DC Charger in my van around 12 months ago and it's working great. I have a 110ah AGM leisure battery, my only drain on the battery is the Autoterm heater and around 10 watts of LED lighting so I can easily last 3 days off grid for weekends away. What I'm...

Hi folks, Just about to fit a new starter battery this week and wanted to ask how to code it using Carista please? New user & have used the app to set a few ‘nice’ things like large speed display & look at other bits but not sure how to do the battery when it arrives. Is it obvious when I log...

On an 8 day trek around the wild atlantic way in Ireland. my leisure battery/charger has an eggy smell, i’m guessing the battery is on the way out! i’ve unplugged from the EHU, the smell has gone and the battery is still powering the fridge/lights. is it ok to keep using the battery like this?

...2016 LWB The problem I have is that when I switch the engine OFF the rear lights do not operate, The light should work from the leisure battery Or electric hook up There is no main control switch panel It’s apparently a smart type , so when engine switched off turns to leisure 12v Thanks

I have suspected that my starter battery is not in the best condition. I think it’s a Varta battery that looks like one somebody suggested was the original in a recent thread. How do I find out if mine is the original on my 2017 T6? Any recommendations for a replacement? Potentially from...

I took my van for a new battery under warranty as it was struggling to start. The auto stop/start was working but sporadically. However, since the battery was changed, it now shows an error on vehicle status "error: auto stop/start". Scanning with Carista shows the error U105000 - Battery...

Has anyone successfully replaced telematics battery? I recently replaced telematic battery in module J949 but kelps throwing up same fault code. Does anyone know if the battery needs coding or registering with VCDS as Carista resets the fault on the app but the warning triangle on the cluster...

Apologies if this has been covered before. T6.1 2021 Is there a way to code the van so that the alternator charges the battery to a higher level? The smart alternator seems to only get my battery to a (at a guess) 60% as the voltage on it is often only 12.0-12.2v when resting. If I am...

I am sure I need anew battery for the van. At the moment I have a Varta 70ah AGM battery which I have charged up a few times now using a standard charger. I have since read on the internet that this has probably damaged the battery as it is not holding a charge. I would like to fit. 95ah AGM...

So my starter battery got a bit low so I plugged the Optimate smart charger in, positive to battery positive, negative to body side of the shunt. It charges fine but then errors when it's checking battery condition. Is the shunt (or the van electrics) interrupting the charging when it gets to...
