Leisure battery install, using CTEK D250SA - can someone help me with a quick list of items I need?

[FerrisBFW]

Morning, I was thinking of a Christmas project to fit a leisure battery and a CTEK D250SA I have from a previous vehicle.

Can someone help with a kit list of what I need to order?

I have an external solar panel I am happy with at the moment so need to have some terminals availible, but this can wait until spring. I was thinking a couple 12v supplies for the cool box (etc) and a bunch of usb's/c's. Its a 2014 Caravelle.

I am fine doing it but wondered if someone else has done similar so knows exactly what I need. At some point I will upgrade the battery to Lithium and the CTEK SA as it cant do Lithium.

Much appreciated

T6.1 factory aux battery split charge relay upgrade & solar panel install.

Hi, I had the factory fitted aux battery ( under a single seat with swivel base ) fitted to my T6.1 with the intention of using it as a camper leisure battery. After getting less than impressive performance and reading about how the split charge relay is a pretty bad charging method I wanted to...

There is one already there. Have a read of the numerous threads on here.

I bought 10 metres of 1.5mm 3 core cable which was enough to do from under the passenger seat to the n/s rear 1/4 near the door and over the roof to the same position o/s. You'll need about 5m red 16mm for the positive from the battery. This should leave enough to make the tail to the battery from charger. About 2m 16mm Black to run the negatives from body earths. Plenty of 16mm/8mm ring crimps. Some 16mm/10mm are handy too as I took mine to body earth off the seat bolts which are 10mm. You'll need a crimping tool to handle these. I got one off Amamzon for about £25.

Don’t forget fuses and solar panel/battery isolator switches
