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?

Fairly certain my leisure battery (under the bench seat on the driver side) is failing. A few basic questions from a total beginner. 1.Check with a multimeter...is it simply attaching the 2 leads to the terminals? 2.if it needs changing it it easy to get at? Would I need to remove the sliding...

Hello, I have a 2019 T6 which I bought in May, which I’m pretty sure needs a new starter battery. It’s required jump starting on one occasion and I find that these days it almost doesn’t turn over if it’s sat for a few days. Even on the days when I have it can struggle to get going sometimes...

The T6 California's battery boost button (often called "Max Charge" or similar). My question is could this function be retrofitted to my T6.1 as a way of uping the charge away from the 80% forced on us so I can get to a campsite fully charged. Sorry if its been discust before.

...going off grid for hopefully a good amount of this trip. The question arose if the Clayton could handle this. I have looked at the extension battery option. But it is a lot of money nearly the same as an extra LPS. So i was thinking to install a seat based battery and then with the DC-DC...

Hi, Im thinking of getting a battery monitor for my leasure battery. I currently have a CTEK smart charger keeping it topped up but I have no way of knowing how much chage I have in the battery or how much the things I have connected draw on the battery. Would the BM2 battery monitor be...

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...

...with a 240v socket on the back of the front seat facia such that a) they charge from the vehicle, but if discharged do not affect the vehicle battery/starting. Plus a recommended installer near Widnes / Warrington. Clean power is a must. State-of-charge display nice to have. Appreciate the...

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...

...original 105ah isn't really big enough so thinking about Lithium 200ah but looking at all the well known brands I'm not sure if it will fit where the current battery is. Any recommendations? I don't really want to use the other space under the passenger seat as I usually store my inverter there.

Can anyone explain why our T6.1 van is telling me the 12V battery is low, despite it being charged to 14V by a Victron smart charger that I’ve had connected for about 6 hours while I try to get the damned map updates to load??. Thread 'T6.1 Discover Media MIB 3 USB Map Updates' T6.1 Discover...

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...

VW T6.1 battery connector is extremely hot when starting the fan at full power !!! Please give me some advice or tips on what to check or replace. I tried cleaning the contacts, replacing the cable, no change, the bowl still gets very hot from the screw on the battery terminal. The cable...

Hi All I have T6.1 camper conversion professionally fitted from new 4 years ago. My issue is when parked up overnight the battery doesn't appear to hold enough charge to power my Wallas hob first thing in the morning. The voltage display might show 12.0 but will go down to 11.3 when the hob...

I need to upgrade my leisure battery, as it's a lowly 80ah gel jobbie, and I could do with something a bit beefier. The starter is 70ah but that seems to be fine so it can stay. I fancy a LifePO4 as the leisure battery. But can they be mixed and can the ah be different? I seem to remember...

I'm a bit of a novice at all this, trying to replace my dead leisure battery (yuasa l36-100) with a new leoch adventurer 110ah. However the terminals on the yuasa are totally cylindrical, the positive terminal on the leoch is slightly tapered and whenever I try to tighten the clamp it just...

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...

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 ?

Hello, I have a 2016 T6 converted to a campervan. It has a new fogstar leisure battery and new victron battery to battery charger installed which just runs the fridge and tap. I dont have EHU, when I park up to camp I turn off all the interior lights and had a switch put in for the interior...

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?
