leisure battery

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

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...

Happy new year all. I have a 2016 self build camper based on a shuttle. This one is hopefully a keeper so I have installed victron smart controllers for my solar panel and b2 b charger. We have been a week in dull South Wales staying in a cottage so very little use of the van, but drove up to...

This has all gone a bit Pete Tong! Fitted a leisure battery and a ctek under the drivers seat and the install all went ok…. Until I started the engine for the first time. I made sure I plugged the seat airbag back in before starting the engine as I hear this can cause faults. First one was...

Hi All, Looking for some advice on routing the positive cable from the main battery to the DC-DC charger and leisure batteries I am fitting in the rear of my T6.1. The easiest option is that I already have a second battery under the passenger seat, which is factory fitted to power the...

I have just changed for lithium battery so this battery is up for grabs if anyone is interested DETAILS LX27MF 4 years old takes a charge but discharges fairly quick when not being charged It stays charged up when on 50w solar no load and fine on EHU the only reason I've changed it it won't do...

Hi My Sargent EC50 control panel recently started alarming. When I checked the voltage indicator was showing 14.7 - hence the alarm. I took the seat out and put a meter on the battery and it was 12.8, however the voltage meter (as in the video) showed a different voltage. I've checked all...

So, after 5 years I've replaced my AGM leisure battery with a shiny Roamer. During lockdown I added solar and a CTEK 250 SE charger. When new I got fitted professionally a Victron mains charger. I've got factory heated seats and the original leisure battery and split charge relay. It all...

My Alpha 110aH AGM low profile is not holding much charge now and flattens very quickly using low current draw equipment e.g caravan TV. Probably my own fault as a couple of times it completely discharged. To buy the same battery it is now £159.99 I was browsing as came across Lion...

Hi there, I've recently bought a 2017 t6 Transporter which has an OEM leisure battery installed underneath the passenger seat. Is there an easy way to get to the battery without taking the whole seat off? Thanks in advance!

Good day, My main car battery recently died so I ended up re-charging the battery with another boosting battery and cable. I was able to re-start the car, but since then the auxiliary battery constantly indicates low battery and no lights, nor fridge, nor electric roof top works. Even the...
