From Sterling Website for the 1230... Current is NOT taken from the input battery and given to the output battery. The B2B uses alternator power to charge the output battery. Manual mode and regenerative braking mode allows you to override this.
Edited to correct quote... I assume manual mode is not activated?

It's in auto mode. I'm thinking it's just a rubbish battery. The van is only 8 months old the converter has been great even paid for vw to look at van.
Hi
I can certainly agree with that.
Varta AGM 75ah 800cca.
Exactly the same problem. Coming/leaving home auto lights not working. Had to do a 10 mile drive, & stick the battery on charge for 4 hours to get them to work again.
Even tried putting the battery on charge (Genius 5) for 48 hours. It then shows 12.5v, but as soon as the charger is disconnected, it drops to 12.2v.
Strange thing is I have had the battery tested, & there is nothing wrong with it.
Have now got a Bosch 95ah AGM replacement .

Did you have to buy the replacement yourself ? If so where from ?
It’s cheaper on eBay, but it’s shipped from Tanya.
I paid for the replacement.

The halfords one with trade is £148 which looks OK.
At that price certainly, as it’s got the same 5year warranty

Going to do some measurements before I order incase any thing has chanced for the t6.1

Turns out the battery fitted to my t6.1 has the exact same part number as the moll battery and the exact same specs. Do you think I have a case of a replacement to the higher spec battery as with the t6 recalls?
You mention a battery trade in price, how do you obtain a discount for trade in, the Halfords website doesn't show this

Sorry trade card
Just installed the new battery. Bit of a squeeze, but everything connected fine.

Used OBDeleven Pro to code it.

Many thanks for all the info gained from the thread.
