Anyone any recommendations for a mains battery charger i.e. charging the starter battery on\off the van, not a built in leisure battery charger? Can't move the van cos the battery's now flat as a pancake and my old charger is bust. Some of the ones on Amazon look a bit weedy but I want to get...
Hi all,
hoping someone in the know could help me here.
I have a leisure battery under my drivers seat that has power cables coming from the starter battery running through a Victron b2b charger for charging whilst I driving.
I also have electric hook up with the mains going to a consumer unit...
Does anyone have any experience of the above? Looking to get a 100ah for my camper van , I have a ctek 20 amp dc-dc charger and also a victron 15amp charger . Can you charge the battery at these currents straight out the box ? Or is it maximum of 10amps ?
Also does the fact it doesn’t have over...

Hi
Only had our camper since July. Needed to get to leisure battery to add a meter to check charge %. And noticed that although the battery is behind a fixed lower cupboard (accessed via screws) it’s not fixed down and can slide on the floor. Is this normal for a conversion company to do this...
The wiring to my leisure battery is starting to look like spaghetti junction. It's awkward to access and sooner or later I'm going to be removing and replacing connections.
I've been looking at these Battery Terminal Clamp
I'm a bit concerned that they seem designed wrongly, upside down if you...
Hoping someone will be able to help, I think I may currently have an agm 110ah. I bought from Cambridge campervan and I haven’t checked with them yet.
I’ve got a solar panel on the roof and a little MPPT box.
everything is normally fine until I get a cold night and want to use the heater...
Main battery is completely flat, I am perplexed as I have a ctek and a solar panel so how has it run flat? I’m going to try jump start it tomorrow. Set up is 140 solar with Victron MPPT15/75 a ctek 250se and a agm leisure battery. I thought the starter battery would be charged first. Any ideas...
Hi - some basic questions from a new member about a leisure battery please.
We’re thinking of having a leisure battery installed as we will be wild camping only without the ability to hook up to mains power.
We’re getting increasingly confused by what the company who is going to be installing...
Hi after reading lots on here i had the 150w panel and victron smart solar mppt 75/15 installed
After a weekend away and thinking the battery was fully charged, it appears to be draining really quick, it seems to be constantly in bulk and charges to a decent level but drops to a really low level...
I’m seeing both of these batteries for £159.99. Obviously the 130Ah sounds better in terms of battery capacity, but the 110A Leoch Xtreme battery seems to be what loads of you on the forum have.
As far as I can tell, the ability to start the van from the leisure battery is the only advantage...
I am in the process of orderi a new T6.1.
weighing up cost of having a factory split charge fitted or going down the aftermarket route.
after people’s experiences and advice please. Not ensurely sure what you get with the factory option.
So went out to the van today after a week of not driving it to find the leisure battery was practically dead. (120 agm) Sitting at 11.5v. Managed to get it onto the battery charger and is now charging. My question is what could have possibly drained it, and have I done any lasting damage to it...
Hi all,
In short I have a dual sensing VSR wired up from starter battery to leisure battery.
I also have one of those AiLi battery monitors which uses a shunt wired up in series on the ground side. The monitor seems to work fine with my loads on (just a fridge, some lights, usbs) showing a...
So after a long day out in overcast weather yesterday, the leisure battery was only at about 95% cahege according to the Victron smart shunt.
This morning I was awaken at about 7am by the fridge doing its start then stop low battery voltage thing.ao I looked at the Victron to find it saying...
