leisure battery

Hello everyone. My name is Lee and I am new to VW. I have just bought T6 2017 LWB and was hoping you could help me. The van is currently simple kombi with no carpeting and any additional nice stuff, I would like to take it on as a project. I would like to do sound deadening, thermal isolation...

Hi, I’ve just fitted a leisure battery and charger, along with EHU, consumer unit and two 240v sockets to my van. It’s a small consumer unit with 1x40 amp RCD and 2 MCBs. I’ve hooked the two sockets up to the 16A MCB and cut the plug off the charger (Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 Charger - 12V...

Just finishing this, Really pleased how it works out. Enough space for several tops of battery and the other electrical gubbins fits in the front section.

OK guys, having more battery issues. Went away this weekend and tried to put the heating on at night. Low battery alarm registered on the heater. Checked the BM monitor and the victron and it looks like the battery can't hold a charge. Only the fridge was on. This is what the BM normally...

Hi all, After a year of lockdown and me being rubbish at keeping it topped up my leisure battery has died. It was fitted by the company who did the conversion for me so I haven't had to source one myself before. Are there any companies you guys can recommend who are helpful, knowledgeable and...

Hi folks. We are about to purchase a new T6 LWB 199PS 4 motion van. We tow a caravan as well as using the van for work purposes (I’m an electrician). I intend to fit an Eberspacher night heater, work lights and other electrical equipment in the back. Can you recommend any auto electricians in...

Evening all We had our newly converted camper arrive around 2 weeks ago. We haven't had a chance to get out in it yet, no user manuals arrived from the converter yet so we are not familiar with how to navigate the kit onboard. Tonight the battery is entirely flat, had to jump it, and there is...

Have just put an Amdro boot jump in my LWB Kombi was about to get a leisure battery install booked when I came across the PPT Powerpack 100. Since I've had a look at some others but I was wondering what people's views on here are - my T6 is Euro 6 so will need B2B charging and TBH a power...

Hi All. I am considering moving my leisure battery from underneath my drivers seat and moving it into the back, possibly under my newly installed rib seat/bed or maybe into the conversion furniture to free up space under my drivers seat. do I need to move the ctek250 as well? Or am I ok...

Hi All, I have have read many posts on here about charging 2 batteries and now my head is fried. I have a T6, 16 plate and after reading about VSRs and the new alternator charging technology, I understand my existing Split Charge VSR is doing nothing to charge my leisure battery. Am I correct...

I’m wanting to overhaul my standard system with a amp, rear speakers and upgraded fronts but first I want to sort the head unit. I have a t6 with the standard head unit, I’m lead to believe that this can not be powered from my leisure battery, is this true as that’s the first thing I want to...

Hi All, Appreciate this is a topic that's done to death and not wanting to replicate threads - I've had a good look through the forum but can't find anything specific to say yes or no and the best way of undertaking my thinking. So I'm replacing my starter battery with the Bosch S5 A13 to...

Hi all, on the road down converting my shuttle to day van and was looking for some lighting advice. Was thinking about running my rear lights and sockets off the leisure battery (under the drivers with diesel heater) and replacing the bulbs to LEDs. With there being so many lights and sockets...

Seat Base Electric + EHU + Solar Install + Charger + DC-DC -- How We Done it -- id like to build a thread showing what's possible as regards to seat base builds. lets post a collection of our electrical installs, be it in the seat base or rear conversion. just EHU or SCR/VSR, charger, DC-DC...

Should a leisure battery and gubbins under a passenger seat be secured? Having some work done, so first time exposed since conversion, and electrician not impressed with what he has found. Have asked for photos.

After deciding not to permanently install a Lithium battery into my T6 or Motorhome due to the temperature issues, I have decided to build a "Portable" battery box. Thanks @Dellmassive for your inspiration. The plan is to have the 100ah battery in a Bison battery box with a Victron SmartShunt...

Quick question, I have checked the existing battery in my camper and it looks like a standard battery and not a leisure battery. I have added another battery to it for extra life, should these be vented or can standard batteries be sealed and therefore no vent req? (Camper king conversion and...

Hi, Inspired by @Deaky build post, I was planning on installing a Victron IP65 Smart charger next to the Starter Battery and a 2nd one to charge the Leisure batter (110AH AGM). I've discovered the CTEK D250SE will still charge the leisure battery as long as the volts on the starter battery are...

Hi, I’d be grateful for some advice please. My husband used to deal with all the technical stuff when we had a motorhome, but he passed away suddenly in 2019 and I’m mustering up the courage to embark on some solo travel in a T6.1 which is shortly to be converted. Basically, in between trips my...

Well which one? I need it to be fully automatic, so when I plug in the hook up that’s it, I don’t want to have it on display or have to rummage it in cupboard to to turn the thing on or to the right settings. All suggestions are welcome, I’m not having much luck in my search. Cheers.
