...DC/solar charging system (Projecta IDC25X) and Victron BlueSmart Charger. The whole leisure system is completely separate from VW starter battery, Luckily, the van came from VW with no Adblue and no Stop/start, and so, no Smart alternator.....high fives all round.!! My question is, does...

With the ignition off my battery is sitting only just above 12v and drops to 10 something when starting. With the engine running its 14.2 /14.3v which is what I'd expect. Current batt is about 6.5 years old . Van gets a good run on a weekly basis , not sat around . What do you reckon ?

My Victron DC-DC does have a run switch but I never connected it as I believe the DC-DC senses the engine is not running so it isolates the starter battery 🤔

Accepted method is to fit charger to leisure battery, and use something similar to an Ablemail AMT-12 to maintain the starter battery. This method prioritises the LB over the SB. Which is what you need.

Normally oem heaters run from the starter battery not an additional one.

...bench? 3.Are there electrical issues other than unattaching 2 terminals and dropping a new one in or do I have to "isolate" the starter battery? 4. Is it a job I should get a "professional" to do for me. I am not the most practical person. The issue is it is not holding its charge and in...

I have the Renogy App running on a BT2. I've not heard of a Renegade App, is that something new? With a Multimeter I checked the starter battery voltage with the cable disconnected from the DC-DC. It was a normal ready about 13volts, I can't remember exactly. I did the same with the leisure...

...charger for EHU, and looking at the Victron IP65, and I was about to be one of those people Dellmassive mentioned - was ignoring the starter battery. So now I'm thinking I should go for option 1 and trickle charge the starter. To clarify - my Victron XS will automatically charge the LB...

The starter battery was replaced by VW under warranty in October 24 and it’s a Moll EFB+. Cheers

I thought my 5 year old Varta starter battery was in good health, no problem cranking and solar keeping it topped up. It was only when I was loading my leisure battery up with winter use that I realised the alternator was stuffing amps into what must have been a starter battery with an internal...

A new Bosch S5 A11 starter battery. Strictly speaking, I ordered it yesterday from Amazon as I had a £100 voucher to use and their price was as good as anywhere else and cheaper than many. Hopefully a new starter battery will ease the drain on my leisure battery. I think it might have been...

...should go and in addition where your negative link to the vehicle bodywork will go. Just like the factory ECU shunt at the starter battery if all negative connections have to pass through the shunt before getting to the battery then any current flow can be measured and displayed, any live to...

Hi guys Got an issue with my 2019 t6 Cxgb 102bhp The starter is disengaging too early causing it not to start 50% of the time, sometimes takes 4 or 5 goes to get it to start and when it does start it has a slight dip in rpm as soon as it starts. Runs and drives fine no issues once it’s...

Hi, my starter battery appears goosed after a long period of inactivity. Needed jumping before the CTEK would recognise it and after nearly 24 hours charging/reconditioning it started but after driving a short while the battery light came on and it now won’t restart. It’s a Varta in it but can I...

I have just traced the wire back to the starter battery and disconnected this wire. The draw has dropped instantly to about 40mA The battery connectors are now completely standard.

Oh I see, in that case if you're on hook up maybe consider a trickle charger for the starter battery? If you really want to arrive with the starter at 100% though, I'm not sure how to do that - maybe it's configurable in VCDS etc but I've never seen it discussed. Possibly pulling the power...

...time, especially over winter months. I have 2 120ah 12v AGM batteries in parallel (so 240ah I'm told) onboard the van & also a 70ah starter battery. I'm looking for a battery charger that is suitable to switch between both batteries if poss. I've become somewhat confused by some of the info...

If it trickle charges the starter battery from the leisure battery will this not risk running the leisure battery flat when sitting idle?

As far as I can tell the boost function boost the starter and the leisure battery. I have a b2b fitted but on camp sites opening and closing doors all day seems to eataway at the starter and soon pulls it down.
