leisure battery

I have a 2018 T6 Startline that is about to be converted. I will be adding a leisure battery for diesel heating, lighting etc. I am looking at the Roamer 230SEATBASE4 or similar. I would also like to add a powerstation (Ecoflow Delta 3) that can be removed from the van if requried, but that will...

Hi all, could anyone please advise or point me in the right direction to get a fairly cheap lithium leisure battery please? Around 100ah. One that fits under the drivers seat please. There are lots of posts on here with some recommendations, however some are now a few years old. Ideally...

REDUCED!!! Needs a wonderful new home! 200Ah Bluetooth Roamer 200S Lithium Battery, 3 years old, 68 cycles on the BMS App. From a 2000 watt inverter, it powered a 2000 watt induction hob, a 1560 watt coffee machine, power drills/tools and more. Too big to live under the passenger seat, it lived...

I bought a T6 SWB Highline in May, which is perfectly converted except for a faulty switch relay. A friend replaced it with a cheap one, but it only worked temporarily after a "boost" and stopped charging the leisure battery once the engine turned off. After reading many threads, I still can't...

Hi, I’m trying to understand if this portable solar panel is as simple as connecting it together as shown by the diagram, which then can run my 12v fridge and lights off grid? So basically, I connect the converter to the panel. Then the converter directly to the leisure battery via the...

Hi Guys, Looking into the world of electrics! I’m planning on running a 12V system for fridge which would be on a low setting (for cold beers), a diesel heater (which I’d like the option of having running throughout the night if required) and some lights/reading lights and phone charging...

Hi Guys, I have a VW T6.1 Transporter with a factory leisure battery. I was working on my van earlier today and had the passenger seat out to lay a cable to my starter battery (not connected). When I put everything back together, seatback in and connected up the leisure battery, I'm getting a...

Can anyone please recommend the best value leisure battery for under £200? Something that will allow us to go off grid for at least a couple of days at a time. Thanks!

My van is new to me and I had the first off grid trip away last weekend with no issues. When I got home I plugged the EHU in to charge the leisure battery. The EHU is located under the bonnet so I plugged it in, lowered the bonnet but didn’t close it all the way for fear of damaging the cable...

Quick question for the knowledgeable if possible Leisure battery's (none lithium ) So agm come in grades A B C B commonly used In caravans for 230v hook up A used for off grid Will be mainly using for site use but may need off grid when using as day van Is there a significant...

What's going on here then? My set up is a 100ah SLA battery, charged by a VSR when on the move. Connected to it is a PMS3H which handles all of the mains etc. everything goes through a Victron Smart shunt with a temp sensor for the battery. Also have a Victron 75/15MPPT connected which...

Hi all. I've recently purchased a touring caravan a couple of weeks ago and put it straight to storage. It's the first chance this weekend to get it out and have a play but it came with no battery. It's obviously the best time to buy one but not sure if a lithium would work in it as don't know...

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 all So we have had our van for 3 months now and the leisure battery seemed to be working okay on our first trip with it in August. A 3 day trip with the leisure battery with solar allowed us fridge, water pump and a bit of lighting without EHU. All was good. However, during a late September...

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?

Having discovered one of my 2 110Ah batteries is knackered I’m considering replacing with a LifeP04. As my conversion uses a PMS3 for the electrics / battery charging I’m assuming this won’t be suitable to charge a Lithium battery? I have a Victron DC/DC charger fitted, and will be looking at...

I have recently purchased my first T6 camper and was away at the weekend on a campsite and connected to the electric hookup. I thought this would also charge the leisure battery, but it does not, it only powers 2 plug sockets and the only thing that charges the leisure battery is by running the...

Decided I'm going to upgrade my battery so I'm selling the current battery to raise some funds. Its a 100Ah LiFePo4 Lithium battery, it will come with the BT dongle so the Renogy app can be used to monitor. I will add some screenshots of its history from the victron smart shunt and also from...

2 month old leisure battery from my recent converted camper van, I have replaced with a Fogstar 560ah so no longer used. Sadly my dog decided to chew the corner as shown in photo. Pickup from PE1 (Peterborough)

Afternoon all. I have a 2016 Caravelle with rotating captain seats in the front and the bench seat that folds flat in the back. Would like to keep it as our daily family car but add a pop top, electric input and leisure battery, (maybe) diesel heater, some simple lighting and multiflex board so...
