Search results for query: charging leisure battery from EHU

I have recently purchased my first T6 camper and was away at the weekend on a campsite and connected to the electric hookup. I thought this would also charge the leisure battery, but it does not, it only powers 2 plug sockets and the only thing that charges the leisure battery is by running the...

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...

Hello, We 've got a T6 Beach on a 2017 plate and am having issues with the leisure battery not charging, the RCD in the boot of the van trips instantly and I suspect the factory fit VW charger is to blame, seeing as the charger is hidden behind the trim I'd like to have a suitable replacement...

Hi I recently bought a 12v charger for my van to charge my e-bike from the leisure battery (bought from the UK dealer specifically for this bike) when not plugged into a mains EHU. I plugged the charger into a 12v cigarette lighter style socket connected to leisure battery and a green light...

Seems like that could work. As there is a positive from the starter to the ctek 250, I presume I could tap off it here and like you say it’s neatly next to to the ctek and leisure battery? Not sure how all the boxes play together as the charger charges the leisure when EHU and then trickle the...

I'm wiring one of these in permanently between my leisure battery and the starter battery on my MAN TGE (VW Crafter in disguise). That seems to be one of the recommended modules for keeping the starter battery charged from a leisure battery which has some method of keeping topped-up either by...

This would mean disconnecting it from the leisure battery would it? Is there a way for it to charge both?

As Salty Spuds says that will work fine. AMT near the CTEK with one cable to the positive from starter battery, another positive to the CTEK output to the leisure battery and a negative (to the neg on the CTEK or nearby neg point). Leave and forget. No more flat starter battery.

Hi guys, Hoping you can help. We replaced our leisure battery in July due to the previous being dead - it was tested by our local garage and confirmed so I replaced it. Since then we appear to be having an issue with the split charging system - when on EHU we have endless power which appears...

It'll work fine, that's a standard setup & is what the AMT12 is designed for.

Firstly, my set up: 90ah agm leisure battery CTEK dc to dc charger Victron Ac charger T6 2019 Highline camper conversion with low mileage of 15k on the clock Job last week carried out by professional installer: Upgraded agm leisure battery, now 130ah Installed solar and connected to CTEK Tidied...

This post is probably a bit too late for anyone who has posted to this thread so far, but may be useful for anyone doing new research. It's perfectly possible to keep the starter battery topped up by using a second mains charger as suggested above, but that does require manual intervention. It...

How far do you think I should go with a Lithium replacement? My 2018 t32 t6 is a pop-top conversion which has a factory fit diesel heater and 75Ah leisure battery under front seat and an independently wired 105Ah leisure battery system (VSR, EHU mains charger and EHU) in the rear supporting...

Hi, Have a 75 leisure battery. Never noted a problem. Had a dash cam uninstalled last couple of weeks. Van has sat for a day. Noticed BM2 at 0%?! With voltage as 9 No load, fridge, lights on etc. Plugged into house EHU and charged up to 100%. Just checked again now and BM2 as below?! Any...

Before connecting a battery conditioner to one of the cab 12V sockets to charge the starter battery, it’s a good idea to first determine whether they’re fed from the starter battery or the leisure battery. In a T6.1 with a factory-fitted leisure battery, both the cab sockets are fed from the...

Hi When I installed my leisure battery I fitted a CTEK D250SE which works perfectly. But now I want to also install an electric hook up, I am okay with getting the mains power in to the van but am unsure how to set this up to keep my leisure battery topped up. My questions are these, is there a...

As @Dellmassive says, most conversion EHU setups seem to replenish the leisure battery but fail to address the vehicle starter battery. If you post up some photos and details of your conversion, we’d be able to advise. Further to the suggestions above, plugging in a battery charger with the...

Yep, the Ablemail is used and recommended by many of us here. Small, inexpensive, simple to fit and effective.

Thanks to the advice from various forum members including @Dellmassive and @roadtripper, over winter we updated our failing lead acid leisure batttery to a Fogstar LiFeP04 105ah battery with a Victron charger. Our original Yuasa battery only lasted 2.5 years despite not going below 50% soc...
