Hi all, first post here but have been lingering for a while.
I've had some split charge issues with my 2017 t6 Cali Beach. Purchased it a few months ago. I have the relay with 100 written on it with all associated cables, the 80 amp fuse under the passenger seat, the leisure battery and...
After a lot of research and a steep learning curve here's my plan and some context.
Context: I bought a November 2015 registered T6 t28 Trendline Bluemotion converted to a camper in Jan 2017. It was fitted with Sargent EC155 and a VSR. The VSR is, I'm pretty confident acceptable ( it doesn't...
My friend has a 2016 T6 from a conversion company. It has a 80ah AGM starter battery and the converter installed a ‘smart battery isolator’ split charge instead of a b2b charger.
The alternator was replaced a couple of months ago.
The van has been throwing up a stop start error for a while and...
Hi All, my T6 has this under drivers seat. I’m thinking that when ever my ignition is on the leisure battery is simply connected to my starter battery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My Researching is leading me to swap this for victron smart dc dc charger. Quick questions 1. It’s a Straight forward swap and suitable...
Is ok to leave the IBS cable disconnected from the battery negative? I have a voltage sensitive relay for charging my secondary battery and the mechanic told me with this cable off I'll have costant voltage (transporter T6 2015). Thanks
Hi all. Looking for help on identifying/fixing this issue.
When pulling away from stopped sometimes (there doesn’t seem to be an obvious set of circumstances) I can hear a clicking noise coming from under the drivers seat. All I can see under the drivers seat is the leisure battery and the...
Hi,
I have a 2017 T6 with a factory fit leisure battery under the passenger seat and I recently wired up a combined USB, 12V socket and volt meter with a switch to the rear cabin area. I connected this directly to the leisure battery with an inline fuse (both positive and negative were direct...
Hi all looking back into putting a battery in my van and wondering what I need etc, is it a basic split charge relay system or because I have a t6 is it an expensive thing to do, my van is only a bmt102 but is a euro 5 not 6 as no as blue, I think it may have start stop but doesn’t work but...
Hi all,
I see this topic has been approached a couple of times, but I’m looking for some specific guidance to enable me to replace my existing VSR with a CTEK 250SE.
So, I’m aware I need to create a ignition feed and run it to my new charger. The existing VSR says it’s ‘ignition protected’...
Fitting a Ctek B2B unit but having problems locating the VSR. Looked around the leisure and starter battery, without any luck. Before I strip back the dashboard and lift the carpets, any suggestions would be appreciated. I have one of the last T5's, Thanks..
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...
I'm just about to install the cabling for the split charge relay from the main battery to the the underside of my drivers seat. I have ordered a proper battery tray for my leisure battery. (the battery is one that will fit height wise ok under the seat). But, the slight confusion I am having is...
Hi could any body tell me if this situation is Norman or ami missing something??
During sunlight
1) voltage at leisure battery showing 13.3v
2) 140A Durite VSR closed (LED illuminated)
3) voltage at starter battery showing 13.3v
Now obviously the 2 batteries will show same voltage as when relay...
I bought my van already converted over a year ago. After reading tons of threads on the forum I'm not sure the electrics are setup the right way. Mine is setup with a voltage split charge relay (see pic attached), and a flooded acid type battery.
Is this the right setup for the way the Euro...
OK guys, I've finally managed to repair my solar panel.
It's now charging my leisure battery via an MPPT solar controller.
While the solar panel was down, my leisure battery went dead due to not charging via the alternator.
With my limited knowledge, it looks like a VSR under the drivers seat...
Anyone else have a hillside Birchover van. Have you had any modifications done after purchased and have you had any problems.
Had ours since November and so far all good. Would like a light on opening sliding door other than that all is good.
This guide takes you step by step through fitting DC-DC charging kit for leisure batteries on factory California.
Why fit this kit:
VW are still installing their standard split charge relay on vehicles fitted with leisure batteries, however, the latest Bluemotion technology has a few...
