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...
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?
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.

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...
Hi,
I really like the idea of saving space by having my leisure batteries fitted underneath the chassis of my T6.1. New Wave Customs makes a bracket (see pic) that can do this, but they fit a 50 amh Extreme Series Battery Model PC1100, which is not a lithium battery. Under Body Leisure...
I’m on the lookout for a lithium battery to replace my 110AGM, so thought I’d ask here first in case someone has a big upgrade planned and is looking to upgrade their lithium setup.
What have you?
So I've just purchased a portable fridge/freezer for the occasional long weekend camping and for charging milwaukee batteries with a 12v charger when using the van for work. I'm looking at possibly buying a roamer 230ah underseat battery and victron orion xs. Apart from all this anything else...
I have a Victron 100/20 MPPT controller and the blue LED for Bulk is flashing. It doesn’t seem to be charging the leisure battery. Attached screenshots of current status and recent history. Any help appreciated.

Hi, really needing some help with my new camper.
I recently bought a T6 all kitted out. Everything seemed to work ok to begin with in the first month. I took it away on a weekend trip and noticed the battery was not charged so I had to go to a site and hook up to get electricity.
After leaving...
Hi all,
I have just brought a T6 panel van and I am going to be slowly converting it over 3/4 years (when I can afford it).
Is there specific stages that need to be done before you move on to other stages?
Thank you for any help
Hope this is of interest to anyone thinking of the same sort of conversion.
Just picked up the T6.1 upon completion of a fairly major refit by Olie at Hythe Auto Electrics. Pleased as punch with all of the works completed. The new solar panel and Roamer 230 battery in particular has...
