The starter battery on a EOM van with factory Alarm..... Should last 3-4weeks and start up ok. the AGM battery is expected to last 3-5years. Scan the van for codes.... I'd there is a draw you will get a error code... Quiescent power draw to high. And make sure there ARE NOT WIRES ATTACHED TO...

...I currently have a 95ah leisure battery in the rear of my T6.1 and Victrin B2B charger supplied with its own 16mm cable from the starter battery, also Victron Solar charger, Victron Shunt and a Sargent fuse box with the charging function disabled. What I would like to do is add a 2nd leisure...

...my T6. I have recently converted my T6 but the rear downlights are still working from 2way switch on passenger b pillar powered from starter battery. I wish for these to be powered from my leisure battery and with the doors opening function. Also to leave a switch on b pillar and on the...

New starter battery. Looked to be an orginal from 2018, has been playing up and this morning broke the horses back.

Motorhome dealers group in Poole as the vans starter battery needed to be replaced under warranty as it would just about start the van, arrive a little late as road conditions slowed everyone down a bit. A friendly greeting and they whisked the van away. Half hour later she was back with both...

...the house the red battery light came on. I turned everything off I could and got home no problems. When I put a multimeter on the starter battery (when the car was running) I can see it's not charging it was at something like 11.9v. I did a scan (only have Carly) and it has a 02252 fault...

I took your advice and got it!

If you're running a new cable anyway you could do the above (25mm2). You'd need a larger fuse at the starter battery end then have fuse distribution for the Orion feed and for your amps.

Got some pics of the starter battery connections? And general electricals in the van?

Accepted wisdom is the starter battery is sacred, it has one purpose and only one purpose. Everything else = leisure battery. If you order a factory van with a parking heater, you also have to spec the second battery.

How are you measuring the 58% number? What voltage are you getting across the starter battery terminals?

...lighter style plug that connects to it? Also on wider interest, could you plug a charger into the main lighter plug to charge the starter battery? Or does this not work with modern car/van electrics? And if you did, would this activate the Victron charger and charge through to the leisure...

If you mean the starter battery, nothing really. It's a "smart" alternator and over time it will learn and adapt its chagring output to suit.

...cabling (looks like there’s a 100A fuse on the feed)? Cable looks around 10mm² — would you reuse it or run new 16mm² from the starter battery for the Victron? Where would the factory split charge/relay normally be on these? Am I better off stripping it back and starting fresh, or building...

Now, electrics is not my thing,so i thought ask the experts out there, can i change leisure battery to lithium, setup now charges starter battery and leisure battery powered by solar panel works fine, no probs,can I connect an inverter as well for off grid use now and then , or is it more...

And still be able to start the thing? BM6 type battery monitor on starter battery. Not driven for a few days, started fine yesterday but only ran it for 5 minutes while testing something. Seems to read SOC low anyway (I realise it's just making it up from the voltage).

...leisure battery as the old one wouldn’t hold charge above 8.5v, I have a 150w solar panel connected to one input to the CTEK and the starter battery connected to the other, everything seems to be operating ok but I’m worried that when I monitor the output to the AGM battery I’ve seen it go as...

Starter battery

...issues, both starter and leisure. This might be due to low charge from the alternator. Whilst engine idling it read 12.2v at the starter battery terminals. Hardly enough, I'm told, to re charge the starter and definitely not enough to allow the Sterling battery to battery charger to start...

1. Possibly, disconnect the ctek / leisure battery and find out. Check the alternator output voltage at the starter battery terminals with the engine running. 2. I have a T6 which is the centre row on the dash fusebox, VIP Membership gets you access to fuse panel diagrams, drawings and manuals...
