Hi, I have t6.1 with a ctek 250se and a Duritc battery charger. Just ordered a BM2 as the starter battery is being drained. The van is standing for weeks at a time and I’m leaving on the EHU at weekends but the charger is only charging the leisure battery. Is there a way to stop the starter...

Hi there. I'm currently attempting to charge my starter battery on my relatively recently purchased 2017 T30. Seem to be having drainage issues due to a tracker and I assume the wolfbox g900 camera/dash cam (which has the park mode turned off). Starter battery drops down after a week of no...

...at a time with no EHU. Mods, a second leisure battery, inverter for the Microwave, Orion smart charger and solar. Issues, 1. Starter battery drain, now on third battery, the latest, 2-days old I decided to fully charge using a Noco genuis 1 and it's been on for the last 14 hours and still...

...DC/solar charging system (Projecta IDC25X) and Victron BlueSmart Charger. The whole leisure system is completely separate from VW starter battery, Luckily, the van came from VW with no Adblue and no Stop/start, and so, no Smart alternator.....high fives all round.!! My question is, does...

Hi, my starter battery appears goosed after a long period of inactivity. Needed jumping before the CTEK would recognise it and after nearly 24 hours charging/reconditioning it started but after driving a short while the battery light came on and it now won’t restart. It’s a Varta in it but can I...

...time, especially over winter months. I have 2 120ah 12v AGM batteries in parallel (so 240ah I'm told) onboard the van & also a 70ah starter battery. I'm looking for a battery charger that is suitable to switch between both batteries if poss. I've become somewhat confused by some of the info...

Hi all, Got a 2019 T6, original battery and its been playing up for a while. Last few weeks its taking longer to crank, not much but enough to be slightly embarrasing if it churns away for 5-10 seconds before biting. It's got a fair bit running off of it now like trackers and alarms...

Hi guys Got an issue with my 2019 t6 Cxgb 102bhp The starter is disengaging too early causing it not to start 50% of the time, sometimes takes 4 or 5 goes to get it to start and when it does start it has a slight dip in rpm as soon as it starts. Runs and drives fine no issues once it’s...

Hi! I'm new to this forum. I live in Sweden and own a 2018 T6 2.0 tdi DSG. I need to replace the starter motor. Does anyone have some useful tips/tricks. Looks like I have to do it from above? Do I need to drain the coolant expanaion tank? It looks like there is a hose at the bottom of the...

Looking for recommendations for a leisure to starter battery trickle charger. I've lost my patience with having to start the van every 2/3 days to avoid the battery draining. I have a PV Logic solar panel installed that keeps the leisure battery topped up pretty well. I then have a Sargent...

I'm just about to connect a BM2 battery monitor to the starter battery of my T6.1 and would welcome some input before doing so. My first query, is to decide whether to connect the -ve terminal of the BM2 directly to the battery post or to an earth point on the body. I know the BM2 has a very low...

Hi, I need to remove my starter battery and want to know what problems might occur when replacing it. I've seen that I may need to reset the one touch window procedure lowering down then up again other than that is there anything else I may need to reset? the battery will probably be...

...from Norwich. I bought a lovely second-hand T6 (2017 plate) and was wondering how I could use my Jackery power station to keep the starter battery topped up? Sadly, my van has to live outside since we don't have a garage or other undercover parking opportunity. Last week, I discovered the...

I am installing a solar panel with lithium battery and was hoping someone could recommend whether to use a Voltage Sensitive Relay or DC-DC (battery to battery) charger so that I can charge the leisure battery from the starter battery when the engine is running?

...I'm pretty much in Camp LiFePo (even if I don't have fitted leisure electrics right now) however recently I needed to replace the starter battery on the aging warhorse that is our XC70. Tanya Batteries did thier usual good thing but on arrival and unpacking the well packed battery it turns...

Several days ago I fitted a permanent battery charger connection to the starter battery (directly across the terminals). I now have a CTEK MXS5.0 connected permanently while parked up at home. This keeps the starter battery fully charged and as it’s ’intelligent’ should not cause battery...

Hi, I bought one of these for jump starting my van...

All the info is in this thread: Upgrade Starter Battery

Hi Guys, I've sold my van and just before I did this I decided to get the starter battery changed just for good measure. The original battery was working fine before it was removed and it never drained much when sitting. The spec of the new battery was slightly different and it was booked in...
