leisure battery

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, Need a bit of help please. I have a 100ah lithium battery being charged by a ctek, running a compressor fridge, usb sockets and led lights etc. and a 170w solar panel. 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...

Hi, Had a new starter battery fitted by local garage. Been on a few longish runs 70 miles round trip and 30 miles. The control panel is still showing not full, do I need to do more miles or could it be something else? Going back to the garage but they say not camper experts so may need to...

Free to a good home! :rofl: My old 75Ah AGM leisure battery. This is around 6 years old but it's been holding charge with no issues, I've treated it well in the last year. Collection only, from Maidstone in Kent - or if I'm off on a weekend trip anywhere I could deliver or meet halfway...

Hi, I've just bought a second hand T5 campervan, and it's great! However, in trying to work out the electrics, I had a question about the recommended wiring diagram that's in the PMS3 manual. It suggests that the car battery is connected to "FRIDGE IN", via a relay that only closes when the...

Hi, i am thinking of putting a Dometic CRX50 compressor fridge into the van, but not sure about what size lithium battery to go for. I have a 100w solar panel but will be getting a better solar charger (maybe victron) to charge the battery as well as adding a smart alternator charger. We...

Hi. I have just taken out the double seat to fit a single and have uncovered factory and other cables. I wanted to to put my leisure battery and chargers under the single sear… what are the factory cables for and can I move these somewhere else? Thanks

Hi all, I am looking at upgrading to a lithium battery, I currently have 110ah agm, victon b2b and mppt and 200w solar so all good there. Been looking at alot of brands and they are about 210cm high but I was wondering is there one that fits under the seat that can stand up. I have a seat...

Hi all, new to the group and my ex-RAC T6! I've taken out lots of the wiring out the back and the Junction box from under the passenger seat. Was expecting to be able to take out the extra battery too, but after seeing it feeds some of the VW loom and after a little bit of reading on here it...

Evening all, hope those that can are taking advantage of the fine camper weather ☀️ I've just installed 2 x 120ah AGM Advance leisure batteries in my camper. I also bought a quicklynks BM2 monitor to help keep an eye on their health. When I first installed the batteries they were showing a...

Afternoon - Hope everyone is well. Has anyone recently installed a lithium leisure battery on its side under the drivers seat and how do you secure them? I'm at that stage of my conversion now. Any info/pics would greatly appreciated. Oh and the seats are heated so there's wiring which I'm...

Just back from weekend away where we found that we had no power in habitation , however we could use hook up So to determine is it battery or fuse ? I have info of camperking that the fuse is the green 30amp so if I pull it and replace ? Is there a way to test the battery to see if it’s not...

Hi Newish to the forum (read loads) and had the van for a year or so now… Current leisure battery very smelly (rotten eggs) and not holding charge (drops to 11.4v within an hour of being charged) so assume it is knackered. Am planning to add solar in due course so thought I might as well...
