leisure battery

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...

I have a LiFePO4 lithium leisure battery, and I understand that it likes to be stored at ~50% charge. Our camper has solar + Victron MPPT, as well as a Victron DC-DC, and so our leisure battery is always at 100% (at least whenever I check it). Now that we’re approaching the winter season, and...

Hello everyone, I would like to know how to check if the alternator of my 2017 Ocean is charging the leisure batteries correctly. If I turn on the control panel with the engine running, the indicated voltage does not rise, even when I turn on the refrigerator, for example .... I usually load the...

Hi all I have my battery etc under my double seat in the van. I’m wanting to put a swival bracket on however not sure if this is possible with what I’ve got under the seat. Any advice super welcome

2019 T6 T30 with rear parking sensors only no camera I had a dual battery installed under the seat by a local 4wd company who do a lot of 12v installs in March this year and had no issues until end of July when it stopped charging. A few days after it had stopped charging a start/stop error...

Hi , going to be fitting my lesuire battery set up next weekend, has anyone used one of these? https://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/12v-100ah-ritar-agm-lead-carbon-ultra-deep-cycle-battery-dc12-100c/ Thanks Andy

We fitted some solar panels and associated bits to our camper the other other day and just wanted to check I had it set up correctly…. Should I have the battery presets set to AGM spiral cell whatever that is? (See attached from the VictronConnect app)

Just considering my next build to the new T6 I've previously installed a split charger & a couple of leisure batt's into my T4 to power led lights, fridge & gas blower heater etc, so I know the crack. Anyone on here build their campers using the Ecoflow Delta as the power source for everything...

Hi All I’m thinking about adding a second leisure battery into the van but I don’t want to have to rip it all apart. Currently I have a ctek 250 As the dc-dc charger and also doing solar all linked to a 110a battery under the passenger seat. I also have a victron charger on the 240v side if I’m...

Hi All, a simple admin Q really. My current set up is all wired direct to the battery. The new Lifepo has M8 screw terminals. Now, I did get some screw in posts and new post connectors which frankly are shocking quality and I wouldn't put them near a PP3 never mind a leisure batt! What is a...
