dc - dc charger

Hi all. As part of my on going 'day van' conversion I am looking for feedback from anybody who may have fitted the Ablemail 12-12-30 battery to battery charger unit. Looks a fairly robust unit with a simplistic approach for the install. However I was looking to install in the engine bay & run a...

Well it is now 2018 and looking to update my electrics.. Some of you may know I was fortunate to have the Ctek split-charge system installed by Andy Harris and his team. Anyway, now looking to update the CBE kit that I have for a more modern sleek look. CBE are obviously the main players in...

my T6 has a battery in engine compartment and one under the driver seat. I normally put my charger to the engine battery, but will that also charge the aux battery? Or is it a special way I should go forward for maintenance charging of both batteries?

Hi, Just after a bit of help with the leisure battery choice in my T6.. I know you can't just put those Voltage sensing kits in anymore but i'm not sure which to go for. I want to be able to run the car to charge the leisure battery and also have the ability down the line to install a solar...

Well, while the flooring is up as I'm currently sound deadening the cab, I'm running new cabling to replace the Factory Relay Aux charger and the DC-DC charger asks for a D+ connection, instead of a ingintion live, so it can't drain the main battery. I'm assuming this is off the back of the...

I'm having serious thoughts of extending the Factory Split charge relay live cable to the rear of the van, so i can fit any size battery i want instead of stuffing around and shoehorning a new battery under the passenger seat. But mainly, because Its a pain to have to remover the seat, then...

Hi guys OK so new van arrived yesterday and I've removed both the factory swivels to have a weigh up was thinking 110 banner battery under passengers with the ring 30 amp b2b under the drivers leaving enough room for incoming eberspacher pipes for a underbody install i notice there is a...

Hello I want to enquire if anyone could confirm for me if selecting the second battery option on extras list when ordering a new van, is this in fact a leisure battery with a split charger that can be used when ignition is turned off to be used for running battery operated items when camped etc...

Hi Guys Ok i have a t5.1 12 plate and have always just ran 25mm2 to the front seat from a Duralit 140amp split charge to 1 or 2 banner batteries and all has been well in the world Now i've took the plunge and ordered a euro 6 Cherry red LWB van with lots of options for march 1 delivery So...

Is it me or does anyone else feel the throttle back off when a specific down hill incline is reached. At first I noticed it happen all the time at the same place but now I've noticed it elsewhere when just starting a certain decent. It's as if it's trying to think for you and ease back the...

Sorry if I've missed this in previous threads, been told due too my van being bluemotion, I can't just buy a normal split charge kit, it will cost about £600 due too the way the van charges the system ?

Our current T5 has a Sargent EC155 that takes care of things but I don't like it. So for our T6 I will use a Victron 12/10 charger and Merlin Smartgauge from @travelvolts and either up rate or double the battery. Currently if I have the leisure power (230V & 12V) switched on at the master it...

there's a thick cable under the passenger seat that I'm wondering what it is. It has a barcode on it? so it looks original. I'm fitting a leisure battery /ctek solar charger - so am hoping it could be useful. Guy
