leisure battery

Hi All I'm wondering if someone could shed some light on a situation. We had a swivel driver's seat, when we took the van to get the battery converted I got a phone call asking if I wanted a height adjuster installing on the chair. I said yes, if it would make a difference. However, when we...

Now that we're in one place for a couple of days, I've had time to think about another plea for advice - it's pain in the 4rse as we're only just at the beginning of a 5 week trip. Apologies for any typos as I'm on my iPad. After issues with my starter battery (which now seems to be OK), I...

Hi. I’m away now for the second week in my van and it seems my factory fitted second battery under the passenger seat is draining as well as my main battery. I haven’t run the van since arriving. I assumed the second battery was like a leisure battery so am puzzled why the main battery should...

Hi guys. I know there are lots of threads on leisure battery operation etc, but I have a specific question and need some help/advice please. I have a T6 conversion from Highlife Campers and assumed the fridge ran off the LB so could be run until the LB runs flat (when no EHU available). However...

I'm looking at fitting a Victron IP22 Battery Charger - I've got two possible locations 1) inside a cupboard with minimal airflow or 2) on the outside end of a cabinet. I'd prefer the internal method as it's out of the way, however I have read a few posts where there are concerns about the...

Hi All, I’m starting to look at putting an electrical system in my kombi. I’ve got captains seats in the front. I’m hoping to put the leisure battery and bits under the drivers seat but I also want to put a swivel on the drivers seat. Is this possible? As I’ve seen conflicting information. Cheers

Evening all, so I used a company called Nomadic energy to sort all my electric components out. You tell them what your loads will be etc and they send you the equipment and wiring diagrams. All seems good but I have been looking at the diagrams and have a question about it. They put the output...

I have this spare seat base which has a bracket as shown in the pic. Anyone know what it’s for ? Came with a Rusty Lee swivel base if that’s a clue. Just looked at my seat and I don’t have the bracket.

Hi All, I'm new to campervans and have had a T6.1 for about a year. I used it a lot last summer with no issues. However I have noticed that the leisure battery is no longer charging from the mains hook up. I have checked the cable and also used another but no change. I also checked the fuses on...

Hi all, I've been reading through many leisure battery threads and i'm not quite getting the answer i'm looking for. A lot of the threads revolve around what seems to be converted campers or those who need significant power 'off grid'. I've got a T6 Kombi with seats only and an awning. When...

Hi all, my 6yr old factory leisure battery is on last legs, 12.4v after an hour driving and 11.7v after the parking heater shut off unexpectedly . Prob due to the dead battery. As its under my drivers seat I want to swap it on 1 go. Anyone got the specs or part number so I can pre...

I've recently bought a second hand, already converted T6. I bought one of those cheap Bluetooth leisure battery monitor to monitor the state of the leisure battery. It seems to be draining about 1% an hour. Has anyone had any similar experience with leisure batteries? I've now taken the fuses...

Hi everyone, In the interest of saving myself some time and money; Can any help with “piggy-backing” a IGN cable for a DC to DC charger from the fuse box under the dash? Thanks

My starter battery (SB) is 3 months old; my leisure battery (LB) is less than 12 months old. Using a multimeter, the readings are as follows: SB voltage with engine off: 12.85 SB voltage with engine running: 14.15 LB voltage with engine off: 12.43 LB voltage with engine running: 12.43 Leisure...

Really pleased to get my first 2018 T6 Kombi Edition 150hp DSG model in Sept 2022. :) I brought the van from a main dealer, and it had already had a partial conversation carried out by a specialist on the south coast, although the converter is no longer around. The van came with a 230v elec...

Happy new year all. I have a 2016 self build camper based on a shuttle. This one is hopefully a keeper so I have installed victron smart controllers for my solar panel and b2 b charger. We have been a week in dull South Wales staying in a cottage so very little use of the van, but drove up to...

This has all gone a bit Pete Tong! Fitted a leisure battery and a ctek under the drivers seat and the install all went ok…. Until I started the engine for the first time. I made sure I plugged the seat airbag back in before starting the engine as I hear this can cause faults. First one was...

Hi All, Looking for some advice on routing the positive cable from the main battery to the DC-DC charger and leisure batteries I am fitting in the rear of my T6.1. The easiest option is that I already have a second battery under the passenger seat, which is factory fitted to power the...

I have just changed for lithium battery so this battery is up for grabs if anyone is interested DETAILS LX27MF 4 years old takes a charge but discharges fairly quick when not being charged It stays charged up when on 50w solar no load and fine on EHU the only reason I've changed it it won't do...

Hi My Sargent EC50 control panel recently started alarming. When I checked the voltage indicator was showing 14.7 - hence the alarm. I took the seat out and put a meter on the battery and it was 12.8, however the voltage meter (as in the video) showed a different voltage. I've checked all...
