leisure battery

Hi Folk, I’ll shortly be heading down the leisure battery route, to enable diesel heater, lights and additional rear sockets etc. I see most people mount the battery under the drivers seat. Is there a main reason for this? We’ve got a captain seat up front, and I’m looking at the possible...

Question for the gurus. Just done an order with renology, for a t6.1 2020 van. Got a 200 w solar panel with rover 20amp along with Bluetooth module. Before I start assembly, just wondering should I have gone for a renogy dcc30s dcdc with mppt rather than my rover charger? As far as I know I...

Hi, I am looking to convert LWB T6 and I want to stick a small leisure battery under the passenger seat. (under one seat is already a sub from THQ) This is only for some LED lighting and some USB charger points. I would be grateful to hear what exactly I need to run this. Wanting to be able...

Hi All, I intended to throw in a Clayton LPS for the electrics but I'm now leaning towards having separate components that can be individually purchased and upgraded, which will definitely help with the upfront cost! I also didn't like the idea of a 20kg lump behind me and would rather have the...

Hi all, I'm new to forum and to campervan ownership. We have bought a new T28 conversion and would like to understand the battery and charging setup. The items which depend on the battery in our van from the top of my head are: Fridge; Heater (its run off diesel but has a fan); Lights; Water...

Hello So, about to buy a Leisure battery for under the drivers seat. People have mentioned LiFePo4 batteries are the future. So I have senn a 'black friday deal' with a 100ah battery reduced from £466.99 to just £209.00. Is this a battery worth buying...

Hi, know this has been done to death and appreciate the time and hard yards put in by @Dellmassive but having originally deciding to go traditional leisure I’m now leading to power pack. Main reasons being: Have a kombi and likely use as camper/ day van likely to be limited around 5 times per...

To save space I'd prefer not to use the posts on my leisure battery and connect with bolts directly. I'd also like to connect two cables to the positive terminal. I doubt it's good practice to stack up two ring terminals on the terminal so have been looking for something like on the link below...

Does anyone know if there is a plate I can get to secure a lithium battery under the seat? Or is it best to just use a luggage strap and tie down points? I’ve seen the kiravans type ones but they rely on the battery having a ridge at the bottom to fix to.

Thought I’d post how I did each of my GND connections through a seat base mounting stud bolt. I couldn’t use the factory GND studs under the seats because on the drivers side it had been removed to allow fitment of the diesel heater ductwork and on the passenger seat it was going to foul my...

We’ve just bought our first van (t6) a few day ago, and the leisure battery hasn’t charged since we’ve had it. It’s now completely dead, the control panel won’t come on at all. We’re still waiting to hear back from the garage we bought it from but probably won’t until Monday, and we wanted to...

I’ve seen some posts that the location for the leisure battery on a camper king conversion is under the fuse board but a panel has to be removed I cannot determine where this panel is can someone add a bit more detail, I’ve searched hi and low for a video but there’s nothing I’ve attached a...

I need to buy some cable to run from the starter battery to the area around the drivers side wheel arch. I think the run will go into the van behind the leisure battery, under the seats and up the drivers b pillar then across below the window height and out through the panel above the wheel...

I’ve mocked up a dummy space model of a Roamer 230SB out of empty cereal packets (cheaper than making an expensive purchasing mistake). It is never going to fit in the passenger seat base unless I totally remove the lumpy factory 2nd battery tray which I think is spot welded in place; I can see...

I have a 2 year old T6.1 manual that has developed an engine issue (diesel warning light flashes & power drops when accelerating). I've bought a Carista and to my surprise the only faults are 16777020 - 'function restriction due to service communication interruption'. (9 instances - putting...
