Thank you, yes might go that route yet, I have a jump starter pack on the way so I won't get stuck, also a BM6 battery monitor thingy so I can see what's going on.

This. Additionally you may have some nuisances like Start&Stop not working (and no error codes thrown) until your ECU has decided that the new battery is of its liking.

As Anakin says. Central locking, cab interior lights will all drain the starter battery. Each time you open up the a fires up lots of electronics ready to start. This will rapidly flatten the battery. The Ablemail AMT12-2 is awesome and will use the leisure battery topped keep the starter above...

Post some pics is the starter battery and the connections. Make sure you haven't got any cable connected to the battery NEG terminals.. Main engine bring step could be an issue. Load to check. So let's look at the battery first. And get some basic voltage reading.

Sorry it’s my leisure battery. I have sterling battery to battery charger.

Hi All, I recently ran the starter battery on my 67 plate T6 pretty flat after leaving the keys in the ignition while fitting new pads & discs. Battery doesn't seem to have any lasting issues but since then the alarm doesn't appear to be working correctly. I initially noticed that the alarm...

...from Norwich. I bought a lovely second-hand T6 (2017 plate) and was wondering how I could use my Jackery power station to keep the starter battery topped up? Sadly, my van has to live outside since we don't have a garage or other undercover parking opportunity. Last week, I discovered the...

What have you set yours to. I read if it's too low starter battery can discharge ?

I would get a new battery in there! You've only got to be stopped for a 2/3 nighter for the battery to let you down for the first time with the doors opening and closing several times draining the starters powers. Or make sure you're carrying a noco boost. Unless you're on EHU of course, with...

Mine has nothing for the starter battery and never had an issue after 2-3 nights. It sounds like you might have a draw from the starter when the clayton thingy is in use

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...

I'll have a look into this, not heard of an Ablemail AMT-12. Cheers.

Thanks very much. Reinforces my own feelings really - leisure battery it would be then.

I’m willing to stand corrected, but I don’t think you can charge both batteries with one mains charger with that setup. I would connect the charger to the leisure battery and then fit something like an AMT 12 to trickle the starter battery from the now fully charged leisure battery.

...draw of around 0.8A to 2.4A. Therefore, over a 24h period you're looking at a hit of somewhere between 19 to 58Ah. Given a standard starter battery is around 75Ah (and probably a maximum of 80% of that actually charged in reality), running it straight from the starter for a weekend would...

post a few pics of the starter battery connections. assuming its Euro6 with Stop start? having any connections to the battery NEG post can bypass the power sensor and give the van false readings.

Surely if it’s a starter problem the test is to start it as many times as possible without damaging the starter motor or battery. Driving around the countryside and stopping at supermarket probably created just 3 starts.

The Ablemail is just between the leisure battery and the starter battery, it’s nothing to do with the EHU. It trickle charges the starter battery, if the leisure battery is in good health. It’s useful as most systems focus on topping up the leisure battery (solar for example) and your obviously...

...all sources of power. Before doing the reset . The only way to do that is to fully disconnect the starter and leisure battery terminals..... Then you can touch the starter battery van side cables together. This must only be done when the terminals are completely disconnected from the battery.
