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...

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...

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...

Hi all. I require a new starter battery and I’ve read the thead on upgrading which I’m thinking of doing. If I do go down that route is the someone that can code it in local to me Dn14 area. 5 mins from jct 34 off the M62 for beer money. Or can I do it myself? Alternatively if I go with a...
