Van Battery Issue

[Bigsidavies]

Thanks chaps, good call and might come to that, will let the converter check it out first though as it’s still under warranty. Keen to find if there is something causing a drain as that would affect a new battery too. Any recommendations for a brand of agm battery and is it a case of the largest capacity that can fit? Current Moll is 70 ah, 95 seems like a decent upgrade, what sets the upper limit on capacity?

Physical dimensions limit the capacity. There’s a thread on dellmasives how I done it in relation to upgrading the battery and the max dimensions. Mine is definitely a squeeze.

Also if you change the battery ideally you need to reset the BCM battery settings so it knows it has a new battery, and a different capacity if you do go bigger.

It will sort itself out eventually but if you are chasing issues it might be best to start from a good place:

Battery coding

Do i need to program anything to change battery in T6.1 2020? The battery is 3 years old and lose the power pretty fast, almost down to 11,9V So i need to change the battery to something better.

I fitted an 80Ah Varta, it is possible to go one size bigger but it’s a struggle and not a lot to gain.
IMO good to have some clearance in case the vans in a collision.
