leisure battery

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...

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...
