Hey, a camper conversion company put this leisure battery and charger into my t6 but it’s like some epic super boat battery charger and this little thing has an epic fan. I used to have a t4 and never heard a peep from my leisure battery charging box.
Does anyone want to swap with me? You may have a bigger camper or a space you can have this one in. I only use my fridge and maybe charge my phone when away at weekends. Or if anyone knows how I can stop the fan from running without buggering up the box and battery?

Photos below.
Cheers

Swap it out for a Renogy Dc30s.

Fanless so silent.

Plus you can add solar to it at a later point.

Or look at the popular

CTEK d250se.

Also fanless and takes solar.

That’s the Battery to Battery (B2B) charger. It charges the leisure battery from the vehicle when the engine is running. That particular model is renowned for being noisy & chunky. I had one & swapped it out for a Victron Orion. Other makes are available, Ctek (reliability issues), Renogy, Ablemail to name a few. Look for a fanless model.
 
I have the same charger and it has never made a noise un the 5 years we have had it.
can I suggest you do a full reset just in case it has got itself into a tizz?
below is a link to a YouTube explaining how to do it

Thanks so much! Will try this at the weekend

We've got the same on in our van and its also noisy when on - I notice it when we turn the van off it seems to run for a couple of minutes. Other than that it doesn't bother me too much.
Are the swaps to something else relatively plug and play? ie would they have similarly labelled inputs and outputs to this? I'd be tempted to swap for Renogy as we may add solar, but I'm not overly confident I'd know what I was doing unless it fairly similar.
