leisure battery

How far do you think I should go with a Lithium replacement? My 2018 t32 t6 is a pop-top conversion which has a factory fit diesel heater and 75Ah leisure battery under front seat and an independently wired 105Ah leisure battery system (VSR, EHU mains charger and EHU) in the rear supporting...

Thanks to the advice from various forum members including @Dellmassive and @roadtripper, over winter we updated our failing lead acid leisure batttery to a Fogstar LiFeP04 105ah battery with a Victron charger. Our original Yuasa battery only lasted 2.5 years despite not going below 50% soc...

I'm about to swap my lead acid battery out for a Super B Epsilon Lithium battery. We spend a fair amount of time "Stealthing" it both winter & summer, and the current 110ah battery is getting tired & isn't up to the job anymore. This is our current setup:- 1, 110ah Lead acid under passenger...

Hi Everyone, I've totally destroyed my 2 leisure batteries due to very, very little use of the van over the winter months. I've bought another 2 today but want to know the best way of protecting these going forward, when the van isn't being used for long periods, and when the freezing...

Hi all - need some advice please. We have an Autohaus Ashton T6.1 camper conversion, 2022. Having not used the Webasto diesel heater for months, I did a quick test of it a couple of weeks ago. It worked fine. I turned on the main control panel before testing the heater as I assumed the leisure...

So, finally going to install a leisure battery after talking about it and then doing nothing. Main reason is I want a diesel heater in the next few months. Anyway, I’m going to opt for a Renogy DCC50S and limit the charging current to 30A. I was eying up a 105Ah Fogstar lithium battery but...

So, got Solar panels install as part of our conversion, now completed and the panels are wired to the MPPT through to battery setup etc, feeding Leisure Battery and through some other wizardry it also tops up the Van main battery etc. I have just got myself one of those Power Generators/Solar...

I have a 4 month old Westfalia Club Joker with x 2 leisure batteries as per Westfalia spec ie 1 x 70Ah and the additional one at 100Ah. When using habitation electrics, only the former shows any drop in voltage eg from 12.4v to 11.4v whilst the latter stays at 12.6v. I expected that batteries...

Hello everyone. I was hoping for a little bit of advice if anyone is able to help? I have a 2018 T6 Reimo conversion from CMC. 100W solar panel bonded to the roof feeding a Victon 75/15 MPPT, a leisure battery under the passenger seat. A Merlin SmartBank Pro 12v Split Charger and a Carbest...

Hi When I installed my leisure battery I fitted a CTEK D250SE which works perfectly. But now I want to also install an electric hook up, I am okay with getting the mains power in to the van but am unsure how to set this up to keep my leisure battery topped up. My questions are these, is there a...

Gday from down under Does anyone know if a faulty aux battery relay from factory would cause the battery light illuminate on the dash. When it does do this I can hear the relay tick as the light comes on. After starting the van, about 30 seconds later the battery light comes on which as a...

This is my current set up in my 2018 Caravelle, a mess of wires of a Factory specced Eberspacher Auxiliary air heater and 2nd battery, plus a few extras fitted by the previous owner, all under the passenger seat: This is the wiring diagram as it sits: I've got the standard split charge...

Hi all I have a Roamer 120ah lithium battery installed under the drivers seat with two charging options - the first is a Victron charger connected to my mains hookup, and the second is the ABSO 50ah DC-DC charger connected to a solar panel and the starter battery. The Victron charger works...

Hello Although iv read so many posts on all the leisure electrics set ups, my mind has “frozen” trying to work out what gear I need to order. So far, I’ve chosen a Roamer 160ah lithium battery,, to be fitted under passenger swivel. Hopefully some other Victron kit can fit in with this battery...

Hi, I am sorry if this is a daft question and I have done a forum search to see if it's been answered before but I couldn't find anything that answers my (probably daft) question. I have had a T6 Camper for 3 years and the leisure battery is basically totally dead now and not holding a charge...

I’m getting lost on the internet and reading this forum to begging to order what I need to do a leisure battery install. I’m confident doing the work and can read drawings etc just need to understand what components I need to order. Van is just a partial conversion/day van so likely just a small...

I am getting a reading of 15.3v on my leisure battery when plugged in to charge. Is this normal or is there an error?

Looking to have a night heater fitted, I see it's advisable to power via a leisure battery which I don't have, for the same price as a leisure battery fitment I could buy a portable power bank which gives me a few more options. My question is would this be OK for my needs for the odd overnight...

I’ve only recently bought a Transporter and am now considering the power side of things. I like the look of portable power packs and am wondering if these can be a true leisure battery replacement. Onboard they seem to have many options with regards to outputs, 12V DC, 230V AC and USB A/C. I’ll...
