charging

Ok, electricity hurts my head for some reason so hoping a few of the house experts can help me with what are probably easy/dum questions! Now I have a 110Ah AGM leisure battery - under seat, charged Victron DC-DC charger - and I think after a couple of years usage that it might be coming to the...

Hi, I've had a little search but am still unsure. So I fried my inverter which was linked up to the leisure battery. I have received a Bluetti 100v2 powerstation. Is it possible to hook the system up in a way to charge the powerstaion up from the leisure battery? I'm not to clued up on how the...

Hi all, It's been my 2nd V-Belt failure in last 2 months. Trying to find a source of the problem I remembered turning off the Start-Stop system via my Ross-tech OBD. I have a Victron 50A DC-DC for my camper utilities and started noticing charging is weak. Opened the app and began measuring...

How to get smart alternator up to 14v when vehicle battery is fully charged and leisure batteries are low after being parked up for a few nights running fridge. diesel heater, lights phone chargers etc. I have tried putting on hi beam, full fan speed for van heater can't get the 14v to kick in...

Hi all, I have a bit of an odd one, my t6 is sometimes reluctant to start but has never failed. I purchased a BM300pro to monitor the battery. The battery seems to be constantly charging at 13.4v with engine under load, but as soon as I run against the engine (coasting to slow down) the voltage...

Hi all, First post but long time T6 Campervan owner. Currently have a CTEK D250SA and Solar set up running to 2 Powersafe BS B14F batteries for power, however I have recently purchased a BLUETTI power bank and am now looking at installing the Charger 1, but not sure if I can run both the CTEK...

Possibly a daft question but I wouldn’t be asking if I knew. My T6.1 spends a fair amount of time sat on my driveway. I’m looking at charging the vehicle battery with my smart charger. I have the option of smart battery charging or regular battery charging. Which mode do I select?

Trying to charge my father's battery with a ctek mxs 5, done my own multiple times, but when I try to do his, I can hear a noise in the engine and his dashboard lights are flicking on and off, but the battery does not seem to be charging, very strange, any help appreciated T2k2

Just wondering what people do with their leisure batteries when using the van daily but not necessarily the leisure electrics? Do you leave it connected so the DC/DC keeps it permanently charged up or let the battery get to about 80% and isolate until the leisure electrics are needed?

Hi, Can someone please explain how I correctly charge my t6.1 110bhp engine battery? Looked online and different opinions as to where to put the earth? Sorry to ask a silly question to all you professionals!

I have a Sterling BBS1230 b2b charger and a 100ah LiFpO4 battery. Looking at the NOCO genius 10a. Can I hardwire this to the leisure battery and just plug it in to top up or do I need to disconnect the leisure battery before charging?

Hi everyone I am away for a few weeks so my van which is my everyday will be sat on the drive. How long before the battery dies, should I get my neighbour to turn it over from time to time? Thanks in advance.

Hi ,does the 220v external socket charges also the main engine battery?

Hi all. Got a second hand T5.1 and still learning! It's got a PMS3 and the mains charger seems to do nothing, not seeing a voltage increase in the system at all when it's turned on. In any case, other threads have convinced me a dedicated charger is better for my lead acid battery, and I'll get...

Several days ago I fitted a permanent battery charger connection to the starter battery (directly across the terminals). I now have a CTEK MXS5.0 connected permanently while parked up at home. This keeps the starter battery fully charged and as it’s ’intelligent’ should not cause battery...

Looking at buying a 2nd vehicle so my T6 will not necessarily be my daily driver. I will probably keep it at work but it won't be near a power supply to keep the battery topped up. Any ideas on the best way to keep it charged or isolate the battery so it won't de charge when not in use? cheers

Hi all, I've taken the plunge with lithium leisure battery and and Renogy DC-DC charger. (On a T5.1 so regular alternator) I don't have a mains battery charger on board. I'd like to have something so when I'm on ehu both batteries will be charged. I do have a spare very old 8amp car battery...

Hi all, So Dellmassive has been a great help with my leisure electrics but I just would appreciate a little more advice on the most suitable charger to keep my new batteries in tiptop condition after use and when stood for a period of time, especially over winter months. I have 2 x 120ah 12v...

Hi, T6.1/22plate/150bhp/stop-start/No leisure battery/manual. So, thinking about the 12v cigar(ette) sockets, to trickle charge the battery without leaving the bonnet open and wires trailing onto the street etc, I was thinking of getting an Ecoflow River 2 (or similar leisure power supply), and...

Hi When I installed my leisure battery I fitted a CTEK D250SE which works perfectly. But now I want to also install an electric hook up, I am okay with getting the mains power in to the van but am unsure how to set this up to keep my leisure battery topped up. My questions are these, is there a...
