Hi,
I really like the idea of saving space by having my leisure batteries fitted underneath the chassis of my T6.1. New Wave Customs makes a bracket (see pic) that can do this, but they fit a 50 amh Extreme Series Battery Model PC1100, which is not a lithium battery. Under Body Leisure...
I’m on the lookout for a lithium battery to replace my 110AGM, so thought I’d ask here first in case someone has a big upgrade planned and is looking to upgrade their lithium setup.
What have you?
So I've just purchased a portable fridge/freezer for the occasional long weekend camping and for charging milwaukee batteries with a 12v charger when using the van for work. I'm looking at possibly buying a roamer 230ah underseat battery and victron orion xs. Apart from all this anything else...
I have a Victron 100/20 MPPT controller and the blue LED for Bulk is flashing. It doesn’t seem to be charging the leisure battery. Attached screenshots of current status and recent history. Any help appreciated.
For sale due to van change. £475 collected from me near Mold in North Wales.
Manufactured November 2021
Has done 127 Cycles so lightly used. Currently charged to 67%
All cells are balanced.
Hi, really needing some help with my new camper.
I recently bought a T6 all kitted out. Everything seemed to work ok to begin with in the first month. I took it away on a weekend trip and noticed the battery was not charged so I had to go to a site and hook up to get electricity.
After leaving...
Hi all,
I have just brought a T6 panel van and I am going to be slowly converting it over 3/4 years (when I can afford it).
Is there specific stages that need to be done before you move on to other stages?
Thank you for any help
Hope this is of interest to anyone thinking of the same sort of conversion.
Just picked up the T6.1 upon completion of a fairly major refit by Olie at Hythe Auto Electrics. Pleased as punch with all of the works completed. The new solar panel and Roamer 230 battery in particular has...

Since last November, Australia has bought in new regulations in regards to the installation of LiFePo4 batteries in Campervans and Caravans .
They now cannot be located in a habitable area, ie. caravan or campervan, unless it placed in a sealed enclosure, or the installation location is sealed...
I’m going to start buying the equipment I need to upgrade to a kick ass lithium set up that will provide a lot longer off grid camping.
Thanks to a lot of advice from @Dellmassive I've got a great idea of what to buy now. Also thanks to @Tall_Paul for solar panel advice.
So here is my proposed...
Just had a look at the Fogstar website.
They list a 230AH seat base battery similar to Roamer‘s offering but with slightly different dimensions:
[My quoted measurements are for actual install aligned to vehicle orientation]
Fogstar 275(w) x 315(l) x 187,5(h) vs Roamer 290(w) x 330(l) x 180(h)...
My Sargent EC155 isn't charging the Fogstar Lithium battery. I've checked the 15amp charger fuse on the Sargent and all the switches are up on the breaker. Read another post on here that says probably easier to install a direct charge solution as, the charger function of the Sargent is...
TL:DR version - how do you get a discharge test on a leisure battery??
Hi, I had a 110AH Xtreme AGM Leisure Battery (XR1750) as recommended by travelvolts and used by many on here.
After a while it struggled to power my fridge for more than a few hours - I mean to do a warranty claim but time...
Hey all,

Been running months with no issues, fridge on constantly and never drained or dropped below 13v.
I installed a...
I’ve had this battery for just over a year and was working absolutely fine up until 3 weeks ago where it came up with a low temperature warning (I know we’ve had a bad summer but not minus 8). I contacted Renogy and got a replacement under warranty. However the battery has been fine now for over...
