vehicle battery

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...

Help please. On the power board I have a switch marked "van" or "car" I thought (told when purchased) that when plugged into the camp site mains that the switch should be on car (which in my opinion should really say leisure battery). Tried to start the van this morning and it's absolutely flat...

Hi, we have a T5 and have a battery issue. When the engine is at ambient temperature it starts ok and if I turn it off whilst engine still cool, it starts again fine. However, when the engine is warm after a drive, the battery has drained after about 10 mins. There doesn't seem to be a...

Hi guys I finished the conversion on my T6 - with a lot of help from members of this forum. I now have a strange problem, which has happened twice. I have a Renogy DC-DC charger fitted with a solar panel connected. That's great for topping up the vehicle battery when not in use for a couple of...

Battery fully charged reads 13.7v after 10 seconds with a heavy duty discharge tester the battery still reads 12.4v and the tester says it is in the green. (The battery was disconnected from the vehicle for this test). My feeling is that the battery is fine but that there is something wrong...

Anyone know of or could recommend auto electrician in Northern Ireland? Decided once and for all as great as Noco GBX75 is.... Using everytime in van to start it is no longer practical or sensible. Thinking I have now used / ruined a battery in a year due to constantly draining. Ford's response...

There seem to be a few threads on this but not one that covers my problem. the back ground. 2021 T6.1 bi turbo 2wd with about 9000miles on, full camper conversion, have had an issue for a while now with battery going flat over maybe 3-4 days from fully charged to just a click when you turn key...

So I've been considering adding a BM2 and a CTEK connector to my single battery MY21 T6.1 Caravelle with the thought of possibly mounting the CTEK 10A charger there as a basic 12v only EHU. Lots of folks seem to use the space around the battery like this but mine doesn't seem to have the...

Hi all, first post for yonks. I have a full camper converted T6 Transporter and for the second time I have a flat battery. Not started for about 5 weeks or so and this time totally flat, no lights on dash, nothing. Connected battery charger to terminals and needle on battery charger kept...

Hi, I have a 19plate t6 with stop start and was wondering if this is the correct battery? Not sure if it's agm or not?

Apologies for perhaps starting a new thread when this is covered elsewhere, but I am being a bit slow and just wanting to check. I have a vw shunt on the negative terminal but also a few other connections, probably from the camper conversion. I have seen in other threads that this should not...

Hello, My T6.1 starter battery shows as low (with a warning to drive the vehicle) after being at a campsite for ~4 nights. However, I can leave it parked outside the house for a few weeks & have no battery issue. I’ve checked that there are no internal lights on in the cab (doors etc), but...

Doors to the van has been open quite a bit over the last couple of days as I've been slowly loading stuff in preparation for our road trip to Europe road trip starting tomorrow mornings. There haven't been any problems until a short while ago when I pressed the lock button on the remote and...

Sorry to join and just ask a question off the bat, but I'm losing my mind here. So I installed a lifepo4 battery, it wasn't getting a charge from my dcdc charger, which wasn't getting power from the aux supply (factory fitted) Removed the starter batt to check the big 100a fuses there, one...

Hi, I've noticed my 19 plate t6 struggles to start after a short journey like a school run. On several occasions when I start the van but don't drive then turn it off the next time I try to start it won't start! When it's happend previously it's gone to the garage I got it from and vw and...

Hi will this Halfords AGM115 battery be ok for my 2017 T6 204bhp dsg will it need coding in for stop start to work all ok etc ?? Startup Power: 800Amps (CCA) Voltage: 12V Capacity: 80Ah Approximate Weight: 23.2kg Dimensions (LxWxH): 317x175x190mm cheers Paul

I'm planning on adding 4 downlights to the roof in the rear of my t6.1 And debating if it will be fine to run off ignition battery with a seperate switch or if i should be on seperate circuit and connected to my ecoflow setup. I will retain the cargo lights that will continue to work as normal...

Hi, I can only alike my van does not have the correct battery fitted because it goes flat after 4 or 5 days - if regularly used it's not a problem, but if left it is! So I would just like to buy the same battery that it was originally supplied with so I do not have to do any coding. The van...

Have looked at previous threads and some seem to conflict with what I’m finding. 2023 T6.1 Hillside Birchover Classic campervan; uses standard VW factory fitted aux battery fitted under passenger seat. I’ve just measured the voltage on both the upper and lower cab 12v sockets both with the EHU...

Hi guys, Looking for some help. Recently, my 150 Highline has had an issue with the lights pulsing, bright then dim, constantly. Also, when the ignition is turned off, the infotainment system turns itself off due to ‘insufficient battery charge’. I’m also not sure that my start/stop system is...
