Greetings One & All.
I'm fairly new here (and to T6 life < 1month).
My T6 (5-door panel van) was new 6 years ago (2019)
I have an existing leisure battery that currently lives under the passenger seat. I charge it at home and it does what I need for a long weekend.
I'd like to charge it on the road between festival sites (usually around 2 hours).
The battery is fairly old and will be upgraded (probably Lithium) sometime over the winter to accommodate the inevitable expansion of kit that needs power.
My search fu only gets me so far, hence ... Some questions:
. DC-DC suggestions (Victron for example)? Capacity?
. Battery location - are there sane alternatives?
. Cable routing from engine bay?
. -ve ... back to vehicle battery or alternative grounding point?
What else don't I (yet) know?
I'm certain that any responses will generate more questions. I am grateful for your patience.
Thank you for reading.
