dc - dc charger

My electrical system for the van is composed of an Xtreme 110ah leisure battery (XR1750Dc), Sargent EC155 PSU and Ablemail 12-12-30 charger. I'd hoped that regular weekly runs up north and return of 3-500 miles would keep the battery charged but realise I've been too optimistic and the battery...

Hello all, trying to do research across the forum into whether I can use a CTEK D250S Dual with my 18 plate bluemotion panel van to charge my non factory fitted leisure battery. Sifted thru just about every page of every thread on here but getting a little lost in what I should and should not be...

Earlier this year i left my T6 parked for three weeks whilst on holiday. The battery was as charged as it could be (I know they only charge to 80%) and there's no excessive drain. I returned to find the battery completly flat, no central locking and not even a flicker of light from the dash. I...

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?

Recently upgraded my 2016 T6 camper to a 2019 conversion complete with the PMS 3H Power Management System as I had before which would give me 3 days power not hooking up. The new conversion with an upgraded fridge ( Dometic Waeco CRX 50 Fridge) it doesn't give me 12 hours running the battery...

Sorry, its a long video, and it may not be the "official" or "correct" way to fit a leisure battery and CTEK DC-DC charger system to handle the euro6 smart alternator charging on the VW T6. That said, this is how we did it!! I hope its useful for those of you that are converting a van to a...

I’m looking to enhance the electrics in my van so that we can run some electrical items when we are parked up. We largely use an electric hookup when camping but we’re going to a couple of places this year where there’s no hook up facility. We are looking to run a small fridge, currently we’ve...

Hi All, Ok, I’m doing first fix wiring on my 17 plate Startline Panel Van… Ready to install an after market intelligent split charge controller and I have just found some hefty live wires under the passenger seat and wondering if I’m already wired for it? (My 07 plate T5 is and came with...
