leisure battery

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...

Since last November, Australia has bought in new regulations in regards to the installation of LiFePo4 batteries in Campervans and Caravans . They now cannot be located in a habitable area, ie. caravan or campervan, unless it placed in a sealed enclosure, or the installation location is sealed...

I’m going to start buying the equipment I need to upgrade to a kick ass lithium set up that will provide a lot longer off grid camping. Thanks to a lot of advice from @Dellmassive I've got a great idea of what to buy now. Also thanks to @Tall_Paul for solar panel advice. So here is my proposed...

Just had a look at the Fogstar website. They list a 230AH seat base battery similar to Roamer‘s offering but with slightly different dimensions: [My quoted measurements are for actual install aligned to vehicle orientation] Fogstar 275(w) x 315(l) x 187,5(h) vs Roamer 290(w) x 330(l) x 180(h)...

My Sargent EC155 isn't charging the Fogstar Lithium battery. I've checked the 15amp charger fuse on the Sargent and all the switches are up on the breaker. Read another post on here that says probably easier to install a direct charge solution as, the charger function of the Sargent is...

TL:DR version - how do you get a discharge test on a leisure battery?? Hi, I had a 110AH Xtreme AGM Leisure Battery (XR1750) as recommended by travelvolts and used by many on here. After a while it struggled to power my fridge for more than a few hours - I mean to do a warranty claim but time...

Hey all, Need a bit of help please. I have a 100ah lithium battery being charged by a ctek, running a compressor fridge, usb sockets and led lights etc. and a 170w solar panel. Been running months with no issues, fridge on constantly and never drained or dropped below 13v. I installed a...

I’ve had this battery for just over a year and was working absolutely fine up until 3 weeks ago where it came up with a low temperature warning (I know we’ve had a bad summer but not minus 8). I contacted Renogy and got a replacement under warranty. However the battery has been fine now for over...

Hi, Had a new starter battery fitted by local garage. Been on a few longish runs 70 miles round trip and 30 miles. The control panel is still showing not full, do I need to do more miles or could it be something else? Going back to the garage but they say not camper experts so may need to...

Free to a good home! :rofl: My old 75Ah AGM leisure battery. This is around 6 years old but it's been holding charge with no issues, I've treated it well in the last year. Collection only, from Maidstone in Kent - or if I'm off on a weekend trip anywhere I could deliver or meet halfway...

Hi, I've just bought a second hand T5 campervan, and it's great! However, in trying to work out the electrics, I had a question about the recommended wiring diagram that's in the PMS3 manual. It suggests that the car battery is connected to "FRIDGE IN", via a relay that only closes when the...

Hi, i am thinking of putting a Dometic CRX50 compressor fridge into the van, but not sure about what size lithium battery to go for. I have a 100w solar panel but will be getting a better solar charger (maybe victron) to charge the battery as well as adding a smart alternator charger. We...

Hi all, new to the group and my ex-RAC T6! I've taken out lots of the wiring out the back and the Junction box from under the passenger seat. Was expecting to be able to take out the extra battery too, but after seeing it feeds some of the VW loom and after a little bit of reading on here it...
