charging

With the van sat idle for a while I thought I would give the main starter battery a top up. So I've connected a CTEK MXS 3.8 battery charger. Black clip to chassis, Red clip to Positive battery terminal. With the Battery still connected to the van, Battery type - Varta AGM 7PO 915 105 A ; 12V...

As my van is sat on the drive not being used I'm thinking of buying a small solar charger for the main AGM battery. Ideally it'll fit on the dash and be easy to connect. Any recommendations...

So with the current situation my camper isn’t coming out of the garage much which has made me think about maintaining the starter battery. I already have a Victron 30a charger to charge my twin leisure battery setup but have been thinking about changing it for a triple output Victron instead...

Hi Just seeing what you guys use to charge your lb. I am after the smallest one I can find due to it living under my seat and I have limited space due to my heater coming up threw there. Cheers

Advice please. I have a 67 plate T6 Kombi 150 DSG with Stop/Start I want to connect a CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger to the van battery The battery is a VARTA 7PO 915 105 A 12v 75Ah AGM Do I connect the positive and negative clamps directly to the battery or do I have to connect one of the...

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...

Hello guys, currently undergoing installation of my leisure battery and split charger for the use of USB and 12V sockets (nothing too serious) We go camping a fair bit... and wondered if it was worth going with travel volts https://www.travelvolts.net/product-page/victron-ip-65-12-10-charger...

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...
