leisure battery

I’ve mocked up a dummy space model of a Roamer 230SB out of empty cereal packets (cheaper than making an expensive purchasing mistake). It is never going to fit in the passenger seat base unless I totally remove the lumpy factory 2nd battery tray which I think is spot welded in place; I can see...

For sale a pair of AGM 110ah leisure batteries 18 month fitted and hardly used as I only used them for led lighting and occasionally our portable fridge, I paid £230 for the pair. £80 collected from Stoke on Trent. The manufactures date codes are 5/5/21 and 1/7/21. John.

I have a 2 year old T6.1 manual that has developed an engine issue (diesel warning light flashes & power drops when accelerating). I've bought a Carista and to my surprise the only faults are 16777020 - 'function restriction due to service communication interruption'. (9 instances - putting...

Hi guys, Hoping you can help. We replaced our leisure battery in July due to the previous being dead - it was tested by our local garage and confirmed so I replaced it. Since then we appear to be having an issue with the split charging system - when on EHU we have endless power which appears...

we just got our van and are going to do a little day trip , might seem silly question but we are totally new to all this - at what stage do you turn a fridge on before you are going on a day trip ? How long does it usually take to get cold ( dometic fridge ) and I assume it will using the...

I’m a complete duffer when it comes to electrics so sorry if this sounds stupid. I’m staying away from home for work one or two nights a week at the moment, always in the van. Usually I stay at sites with hookup but not always but as I have a solar panel and I drive 10+ miles into work and back...

Hi, I noticed that my usb ports normally powered by the leisure battery don’t work when the engine is running. I think this is pretty common as a few other friends who have converted vans have said the same. Is there an easy way to override this? I know the leisure battery can provide power...

Hi all, I have a Durite VSR on a T5.1. It's not start/stop. The starter battery recently failed, despite Halfords testing and saying it was okay. The leisure battery is an AGM xtreme. I have a mains battery charger that is kept separate to the system for our cars and is AGM compatible...

Hi, brand new to this forum and also a brand new owner of a 2020 T6, converted by Leighton Vans. I bought this van for work purposes, a couple of weeks ago I lived out of my van for 7 days straight with no issues at all, I did not plug into mains as I have a solar panel and that seemed to be all...

I have upgraded to lithium (this forum seems to cost me money ). Still got receipt for battery, just under 2 years warranty left. AGM battery. Might save someone a bit of money. Fitted perfectly under my factory swivel captains chair. Looking for £100 can't post unfortunately. Collection from...

Hi all , help required ,my leisure battery is looking like it is on the road out and i want to replace it , the battery at the moment is a Halfords EFB and it is charged via a normal campervan charging system and voltage sensitive relay on alternator,not ideal and something i would like to...

Fitted today 13 July, at Wrexham VW Van dealership under warranty. Removed 20 mins later as not required. VW had to fit and log it into VW system. Varta 70ah EFB+ stamped VW. Can not find exact replacement as this is a VW specific item. £70.00 collection from CH5

Hi I have a factory fitted leisure battery on my 2018 T6 Kombi, however it doesn't appear to be connected to anything. I don't get a relay click from the leisure battery when I turn the ignition, nor do I have any 12v or 240V sockets in any of the pillars. I think I need to find a conversion...

I thought this was an easy one but I can't find the answer anywhere. My van is all set up with power solar etc and great. However I want to use my mobile fridge in another car. I have a portable leisure battery I can use for the fridge when parked but how can I charge the battery from a...

Hey all, new member here but I've been lurking for a while, all the time searching for a T6 Caravelle to replace my Skoda Superb Estate which I've owned since 2019, and has been brilliant as a wagon taking me and my bikes to all corners of the UK. Today, I collected this! It's a 2018 Caravelle...

The whole setup is ctek d250se, Bluetooth battery guard, 110ah leisure battery, battery tray, cables and fuses. The kit is in great condition as it was installed by simply surf bus when I bought the van and not touched until removal by Bognor motors. So that makes it about 18 months old. It...

Right. I’ve been putting this off for a while but as it now affects my Dometic fridge and we’re looking to go on a trip to Europe this summer I need to tackle this. Been putting it off because electrics (and plumbing for that matter) are like the Dark Arts to me! So please bear with and excuse...

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...
