battery drain

[Guide] Battery Maintainer (for Starter battery) -- How I Done It -- Right so its that time of year again . . . . . . . . Winter & (Lockdown 2020) The van might be layed up not being used, which will lead to a flat battery in around 3 weeks. The cold weather doesn't help the battery's...

My friend has an 04 T5 she bought while renovating her house to move stuff about and still has it 5 years later. Apparently it keeps draining batteries, a local guy told her it’s the interior light causing the problem and “fixed it” but the fault has returned. Any ideas what this could be? I...

Well loss of plot anyway. Straight away I have to confess I did used to be an electrician... ok, an average electrician but when it comes to leisure battery upkeep on a T6 I've found it far easier so far to put my fingers in my ears and go la, la, la than try and understand what is going on...

Interesting one. I've had a few problems with my starter battery discharging (its a Varta, not a Moll so thats not the issue!). Basically my battery goes flat after around 5-7d inactivity. Thats pretty short imo. This was an issue before lockdown and is not just due to the extended hiatus. I've...

Hi all, I've been having trouble with my battery discharging if the vehicle is not being used. Takes about to weeks to go flat. I've taken it in as it's covered under warranty and they have come back and said that because it's a new type of van the alternator doesn't charge that battery anymore...

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. Has anyone had a parasitic battery drain on their van? Just had a new battery on mine and it’s draining after standing for 3 days. Are there any known troublesome components to target before starting to pull individual fuses ? My original battery (Varta)...

Hi all, noticed that because my van, t6, 2017, is parked on the drive most of the time, especially the last month, for obvious reasons, after about a week the battery goes flat and won't start the engine! I have given it a good discharge and recharge with my ctec, this defo helped keep the...

Just had my claim for a new starter battery (AGM) turned down because the parasitic voltage was excessive and is caused by the installation of a leisure battery. This was before I told them that the fuse to the leisure battery was removed but they stuck to their story and wanted to charge £115...

I have recently fitted an Eberspacher D2L and I am now having a parasitic drain on the leisure battery. Yesterday evening I ran the heater for about 20 mins as a test. Then switched it off. This morning the battery monitor is telling me the battery is at 62%. It was at 99% before the test and...

looks like I have a parasitic draw in my battery of 0.05amps it sounds like a acceptable amount is 0.02amps. Does anyone know if that’s right? Anyway started looking at the fuses and found if I remove the SC47 turn and brake light fuse it drops down to 0.02amps. Anyone know if this is right...

Just come back from 10days holiday and it seems that everything connected to my leisure battery isn’t working. I have extra lighting in the back x8, USBs x4, 12v sockets x2 and a dash cam thinkware F800 Pro (front and rear) all connected. All bar the dash cam were off. The camera is connected to...

Had my van for a few months now and noticed it I don't drive it for a few weeks the battery does lose charge (barely started last week). Anyway, though the van is on the drive I am often in and out of it. I noticed the internal lights and dashboard display light up whenever I open a door (and...

Hello all, Please can someone help me with an electrical problem? I am in the process of converting a T6 and have been fitting a AGM 110Ah leisure battery with an Aplemail MPPT DC/DC charger, a Viltron IP65 12/7 BT mains charger and a CTEK Battery Sense unit (to allow convenient monitoring of...

Hi peeps I haven't used the t6 for a month except for moving it on the drive a fortnight ago to wash it, jumped in it today and the battery was flat only showing 10.6v. It's a full camper with a solar panel, the leisure battery had 12.9 v, I take it the split charge only works one way? Do you...

Anyone able to shine any light on this? Address 61: Battery Regul. Labels: 1K0-907-534.clb Control Module Part Number: 7E0 907 534 HW: 7E0 937 090 Component and/or Version: Batt.regelung H80 0736 Software Coding: 330B1A73 Work Shop Code: WSC 02739 790 00000...
