charging

This might be a stupid question, but how on earth am I going to get the plastic/rubber cover off the battery without removing the seat entirely? Will post pics If it’s hard to imagine...

Just a quick one lads, it’s all fitted and seems to be working fine! Just wanted to check this is all normal stuff, when I first plugged it into 240v it was reading this - And now it’s been on charge for a few hours it’s reading this -

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone on here will be able to answer a question that i have. I spent the night in Aviemore last night, and the Van wouldn't start this morning. The main Battery had drained and there wasn't enough charge to start it. I got a jump start from a fellow Camper and made it home...

Hi everyone, I have a small RAC HP157 smart battery charger lying around in the house. It was cheap off eBay. I can't get to the leisure battery under my seat to clip on the crocodile clips to charge it, so I'm thinking of permanently attaching it to the terminals and just plugging it into my...

My T6 is garaged and I will only be using it once a month for trips so I am looking at a simple way of keeping the main battery topped up. There is just the standard current draw when parked up from the vans systems in standby.. From searching this topic on here the best way seems to be a...

I have a 2018 T6 with the usual CBE DS300 split charging setup, which I suspect doesn't work that well. I was considering installing a DC-DC charger (£250+), but this got me thinking: I already have a Victron 500VA inverter ready to be installed, and the van already has a CBE 16A mains charger...

Just ordered a ctek time to go charger as main battery voltage is low. Do i need to disconnect the battery leads before connecting the charger? Vw T6 2016. Thanks...

I am now ready to install a leisure battery. I thought I had decided on a CTEK Dual, but now am looking for alternatives. I would like it to have the option to input from a solar panel for ease of future installation. What options are there/what would you recommend? Thanks

Help – voltage measurements when towing a trailer/caravan requested. When towing, what’s the voltage at your cigarette lighter socket (in the lower one in the dash)? No fancy instruments are needed, just any gadget will do. The following background data is appreciated: 1)...

Hi, has anybody fitted an rscdc30 to a t6 and wired in an AC battery charger to the leisure battery via electric hookup? I have contacted Ring and they don't recommend it, but wondered if anybody had done it and had any issues?

Hi all. New to the forum! I have a t6 start line which I am converting. I am planning on doing the wiring for the leisure battery tomorrow. Plan is ctek 250 under driver's seat. Leisure battery by wheel arch along with all the fuses to feed lights, fridge etc My question is I also want 240v...

Hello there. I seem to have an issue with my leisure battery not holding charge and speaking to the form I purchased the van from and reading up fully (which I should have done before), I believe I may have damaged by leisure battery by allowing it to get completely discharged a number of...

Battery Chargers - How I Did It - So its that time of year again, cold, rainy. . . . . . . flat battery =[ This time we look at Battery Chargers. Our vans will most likely come with a AGM style starter battery, for this type of battery we need a "Smart Charger" . . . . but what does this...

Hi All I am new to the forum and to the Transporter range! I have been doing a fair bit of reading and need a little advice. In 3 weeks time I will be putting the van in the garage and starting stage 1 of a 3 year, 3 stage process: Stage 1 - Insulation, lining and electrics (fitted inside an...

Hi all, I am a new to the forum (literally have just signed up). However, have been following few threads and found it very helpful. Now I am hoping someone may help me with understanding the second battery charging system as what I read online does not agree with what I have heard from...

Installation Guide for Redarc DC-DC Charging Kit supplied by @travelvolts

Hi all, I have a waeco UI252A battery charger. It can charge 2 leisure batterys and the ignition battery. The last one with a current of 1 A. Can someone tell me if it's possible to connect the wire for charging the ignitionbattery to the IS1 electrical interface. Maybe by the pin a5 of the grey...

Hi all, I’m not sure if this has been covered before, I’ve looked through the threads and can’t see anything like this. I’ve got a 2010 4 motion SWB T6. It has got a factory fitted Leisure battery ( and I presume a factory fitted split charge system ) to which I have added a second Leisure...
