charging

Hi All, I recently wired an aftermarket stereo and power amp (nothing huge) to the OEM leisure battery, in the case of the stereo to stop it power cycling on stop-start. The devices all work fine but the battery doesn't seem to be charging, I'm pretty sure all the wiring has gone back correctly...

Hi All, Just acquired a newly converted campervan based on a VW T6 Highline 2017. My question is whether the CB 516 battery charger they have installed is suitable for STOP/START and regenerative breaking, i.e. is this a battery to battery charger. Thanks.

having not used The van for 3 weeks,and only use it on weekends Or every other in normal times!..the starter battery was down to 11.8v so I decided on utilising my fixed solar panel on my pop top as a permanent fit & forgot solution to maintain the starter battery,I also wanted to utilise this...

Hi, Can anyone tell me if these two items will work with the T6 VW van just for topping up the battery via cigarette point?? PS4001 | Solar Technology Solar Charger, Output:12V for use with 12V Battery, Automotive, Marine | RS Components SOLAR POWER PANNEL 4.8W SEALEY SPP03 5024209855730 | eBay...

I want to add a permanent battery charger lead to my starter battery. The problem is that there are no threads left to attach it to the usual place due to my towbar installation (see picture). i thought about using the clamp bolt thread behind it, but I can’t work out what thread it is - it’s...

With the van sat idle for a while I thought I would give the main starter battery a top up. So I've connected a CTEK MXS 3.8 battery charger. Black clip to chassis, Red clip to Positive battery terminal. With the Battery still connected to the van, Battery type - Varta AGM 7PO 915 105 A ; 12V...

As my van is sat on the drive not being used I'm thinking of buying a small solar charger for the main AGM battery. Ideally it'll fit on the dash and be easy to connect. Any recommendations...

So with the current situation my camper isn’t coming out of the garage much which has made me think about maintaining the starter battery. I already have a Victron 30a charger to charge my twin leisure battery setup but have been thinking about changing it for a triple output Victron instead...

Hi Just seeing what you guys use to charge your lb. I am after the smallest one I can find due to it living under my seat and I have limited space due to my heater coming up threw there. Cheers

Advice please. I have a 67 plate T6 Kombi 150 DSG with Stop/Start I want to connect a CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger to the van battery The battery is a VARTA 7PO 915 105 A 12v 75Ah AGM Do I connect the positive and negative clamps directly to the battery or do I have to connect one of the...

This might be a stupid question, but how on earth am I going to get the plastic/rubber cover off the battery without removing the seat entirely? Will post pics If it’s hard to imagine...

Just a quick one lads, it’s all fitted and seems to be working fine! Just wanted to check this is all normal stuff, when I first plugged it into 240v it was reading this - And now it’s been on charge for a few hours it’s reading this -

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone on here will be able to answer a question that i have. I spent the night in Aviemore last night, and the Van wouldn't start this morning. The main Battery had drained and there wasn't enough charge to start it. I got a jump start from a fellow Camper and made it home...

Hi everyone, I have a small RAC HP157 smart battery charger lying around in the house. It was cheap off eBay. I can't get to the leisure battery under my seat to clip on the crocodile clips to charge it, so I'm thinking of permanently attaching it to the terminals and just plugging it into my...

My T6 is garaged and I will only be using it once a month for trips so I am looking at a simple way of keeping the main battery topped up. There is just the standard current draw when parked up from the vans systems in standby.. From searching this topic on here the best way seems to be a...

I have a 2018 T6 with the usual CBE DS300 split charging setup, which I suspect doesn't work that well. I was considering installing a DC-DC charger (£250+), but this got me thinking: I already have a Victron 500VA inverter ready to be installed, and the van already has a CBE 16A mains charger...

Just ordered a ctek time to go charger as main battery voltage is low. Do i need to disconnect the battery leads before connecting the charger? Vw T6 2016. Thanks...

I am now ready to install a leisure battery. I thought I had decided on a CTEK Dual, but now am looking for alternatives. I would like it to have the option to input from a solar panel for ease of future installation. What options are there/what would you recommend? Thanks

Help – voltage measurements when towing a trailer/caravan requested. When towing, what’s the voltage at your cigarette lighter socket (in the lower one in the dash)? No fancy instruments are needed, just any gadget will do. The following background data is appreciated: 1)...

Hi, has anybody fitted an rscdc30 to a t6 and wired in an AC battery charger to the leisure battery via electric hookup? I have contacted Ring and they don't recommend it, but wondered if anybody had done it and had any issues?
