leisure battery

Hey all, new member here but I've been lurking for a while, all the time searching for a T6 Caravelle to replace my Skoda Superb Estate which I've owned since 2019, and has been brilliant as a wagon taking me and my bikes to all corners of the UK. Today, I collected this! It's a 2018 Caravelle...

The whole setup is ctek d250se, Bluetooth battery guard, 110ah leisure battery, battery tray, cables and fuses. The kit is in great condition as it was installed by simply surf bus when I bought the van and not touched until removal by Bognor motors. So that makes it about 18 months old. It...

Right. I’ve been putting this off for a while but as it now affects my Dometic fridge and we’re looking to go on a trip to Europe this summer I need to tackle this. Been putting it off because electrics (and plumbing for that matter) are like the Dark Arts to me! So please bear with and excuse...

Hi All I'm wondering if someone could shed some light on a situation. We had a swivel driver's seat, when we took the van to get the battery converted I got a phone call asking if I wanted a height adjuster installing on the chair. I said yes, if it would make a difference. However, when we...

Now that we're in one place for a couple of days, I've had time to think about another plea for advice - it's pain in the 4rse as we're only just at the beginning of a 5 week trip. Apologies for any typos as I'm on my iPad. After issues with my starter battery (which now seems to be OK), I...

Hi. I’m away now for the second week in my van and it seems my factory fitted second battery under the passenger seat is draining as well as my main battery. I haven’t run the van since arriving. I assumed the second battery was like a leisure battery so am puzzled why the main battery should...

Hi guys. I know there are lots of threads on leisure battery operation etc, but I have a specific question and need some help/advice please. I have a T6 conversion from Highlife Campers and assumed the fridge ran off the LB so could be run until the LB runs flat (when no EHU available). However...

I'm looking at fitting a Victron IP22 Battery Charger - I've got two possible locations 1) inside a cupboard with minimal airflow or 2) on the outside end of a cabinet. I'd prefer the internal method as it's out of the way, however I have read a few posts where there are concerns about the...

Hi All, I’m starting to look at putting an electrical system in my kombi. I’ve got captains seats in the front. I’m hoping to put the leisure battery and bits under the drivers seat but I also want to put a swivel on the drivers seat. Is this possible? As I’ve seen conflicting information. Cheers

Evening all, so I used a company called Nomadic energy to sort all my electric components out. You tell them what your loads will be etc and they send you the equipment and wiring diagrams. All seems good but I have been looking at the diagrams and have a question about it. They put the output...

I have this spare seat base which has a bracket as shown in the pic. Anyone know what it’s for ? Came with a Rusty Lee swivel base if that’s a clue. Just looked at my seat and I don’t have the bracket.

Hi All, I'm new to campervans and have had a T6.1 for about a year. I used it a lot last summer with no issues. However I have noticed that the leisure battery is no longer charging from the mains hook up. I have checked the cable and also used another but no change. I also checked the fuses on...

Hi all, I've been reading through many leisure battery threads and i'm not quite getting the answer i'm looking for. A lot of the threads revolve around what seems to be converted campers or those who need significant power 'off grid'. I've got a T6 Kombi with seats only and an awning. When...

Hi all, my 6yr old factory leisure battery is on last legs, 12.4v after an hour driving and 11.7v after the parking heater shut off unexpectedly . Prob due to the dead battery. As its under my drivers seat I want to swap it on 1 go. Anyone got the specs or part number so I can pre...

For about a month I’ve been monitoring the starter battery with a BM2, as recommended on here, so that I know when I need to connect an external charger. For context it’s a 2016 Euro 5 with Stop Start BM. It’s a campervan conversion and it doesn’t get used much this time of year. The battery...

I've recently bought a second hand, already converted T6. I bought one of those cheap Bluetooth leisure battery monitor to monitor the state of the leisure battery. It seems to be draining about 1% an hour. Has anyone had any similar experience with leisure batteries? I've now taken the fuses...

Hi everyone, In the interest of saving myself some time and money; Can any help with “piggy-backing” a IGN cable for a DC to DC charger from the fuse box under the dash? Thanks

My starter battery (SB) is 3 months old; my leisure battery (LB) is less than 12 months old. Using a multimeter, the readings are as follows: SB voltage with engine off: 12.85 SB voltage with engine running: 14.15 LB voltage with engine off: 12.43 LB voltage with engine running: 12.43 Leisure...

Really pleased to get my first 2018 T6 Kombi Edition 150hp DSG model in Sept 2022. :) I brought the van from a main dealer, and it had already had a partial conversation carried out by a specialist on the south coast, although the converter is no longer around. The van came with a 230v elec...
