So I've finally got started on my electrics install... the 200Ah lithium has gone in under the drivers seat...only just! I've now removed the drinkers side seat to find quite a lot of stuff... So my question is how much of this can disappear with the original VW 2nd battery? I've downloaded...

Hi all, I’ve had a scan and nothing really hits the spot in the previous threads that I can see but apologies if it exists… We got out van (2019 kombi Swb) at Xmas, it has OEM rear seat and fold out kombi nation bed behind. It also has 230v hook up, 100 Ah leisure battery under the passenger...

Hello All. I've tried looking for stuff on this, but seem to be going round in circles. I have the current twin leisure battery setup in my van, which was in when i bought it. I want to add 2 x 100W panels via a Victron 75/15 MPPT, as below. My question is, what is the correct way to do this...

Hi All, Appreciate this is a topic that's done to death and not wanting to replicate threads - I've had a good look through the forum but can't find anything specific to say yes or no and the best way of undertaking my thinking. So I'm replacing my starter battery with the Bosch S5 A13 to...

Hi New to the forum, hoping for a little bit of help with a 12v battery bank i'm planning on building. My primary reason for buying a VW T6 was to go fishing in it, so i'm building some weird and wonderful bits to suit those needs, the latest bit of the build is to make a quick and easy 12v...

I have a mppt pro which will charge a leisure battery and the engine battery.. does anyone know if I can connect the engine battery to the second battery connections on my 16 plate T6 highline

As per title, I think my leisure battery may be dead. I've attached a battery monitor for the last few days and it looks like the battery charges from the solar panel during the day but then drops down to 12.3v overnight. Nothing is running from the LB apart from the battery monitor...
