I am in the process if planning a leisure battery install and dc-dc charger.

However firstly I cant work out how to remove the battery to get access to the bulkhead grommets. Secondly is it possible to take power from the fusebox that is on top of the battery. I seem to have some of these unused.

If you cant get the battery out, perhaps you shouldnt be doing a full install ;););):p:p Joke
 
It looks like WV have just done on the T6.1 what we have allready done on the T6 . . . . . . . . added an extra FuseBox next to the battery.

for the big cables as the battery post gets full up . .

Battery looks more exposed to dirt and the elements. :devil::devil:

And I still cant open that &*^&* fuse box

Someone must have sussed it :/
 
come on . . its a fuse box, so a serviceable item. :thumbsup:

get your trim tools out. :somersault:

pop the clip at the front to get it off the battery.

then get the trim tools on it . . . .

post pics of the inside . . . . .

Its definitely not that. The top part seems to be hinged at the front, I can release a clip at the back right but then Im stuck :/
 
looks like the yellow bit is the cover for the actual fuses. - that should pop off.

and the green bit is the lower SJ fuse box that is clipped onto the top of the battey

Но это еще не все. Есть еще один под батареей.

But that is not all. There is another one under the battery.

Защелки крышки отмечены красным цветом. Чтобы его снять, нужно отодрать края в специально отведенных местах отверткой.

The lid latches are marked in red. To remove it, you need to tear off the edges in specially designated places with a screwdriver.
 
thank you @skoroxod

is that your van? , your pictures?

what is the blue stuff on the battery terminals?

can you get a few close up pics of the fuses and bus bar in the SJ fuse box?
 
спасибо @skoroxod

это ваш фургон, ваши фотографии?

что это за синяя штука на клеммах аккумулятора?

можете ли вы получить несколько фотографий крупным планом предохранителей и шины в блоке предохранителей SJ?

Фургон мой, и фотографии тоже мои. Голубые стержни смазка для того чтобы предотвратить стержни от окислять. Завтра я сделаю фото крупным планом. Здесь уже темно.

The van is mine, and the photographs are mine too. Blue stems are grease to prevent stems from oxidizing. Tomorrow I'll take a close-up photo. It's already dark here.
