leisure battery

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...

Hello. i'm back from my first 4 night off grid camp (blue dot festival). I have two solar panels into a C-Tek 250. My van is a T6. I have a small fridge (Indel-B), all LED lighting and also recharged devices, ran a fan for about 1 hour, made about 16 brews with my electric brew maker. My...

Hi I’ve rented my van out (was never the intention but change in circumstances mean we can’t use it much and I need the income). The people renting it forgot to plug in the EHU a couple of nights ago and woke up to find they couldn’t start the van. They got a jump start but have since said that...

Hey, a camper conversion company put this leisure battery and charger into my t6 but it’s like some epic super boat battery charger and this little thing has an epic fan. I used to have a t4 and never heard a peep from my leisure battery charging box. Does anyone want to swap with me? You may...

I have 220 AH of Gel leisure batteries, a 75/15 Victron solar regulator and 200 watt of folding solar panels what inline fuse should I use on the positive side to the batteries, Is 20amp the size fuse that I need? thank you, John.

Hi - Sorry another question on Leisure battaries. I have just purchased a new Yuasa AGM 95Ah leisure battery (From Halfords for easy collection!) for £165. I wanted a well-known brand. It is replacing a non-branded 135AH 'Deep Cycle' one which is done (It is rated as 135Ah C100 if that...

Hi guys - we have a 2nd hand converted T6 and I'm trying to get me head around cabling! At the back we have 240v hookup, which goes through a fuse box then into an old school battery charger (PSU design?!). Next to this is an Epever Mppt solar controller. Now here's that I think is odd...

Following on a bit from an earlier thread thinking I had goosed my LB and hunting for a replacement, spoke to the original suppliers who suggested a few things to test the LB first. LB has a condition indicator, shows OK. Volts = 12.6v at rest. Suspect maybe not the battery at fault? Problem...

As title, I have a vevor 55l fridge , I just wondered how long it would last if I hook it up to a leisure battery, going to camper jam this weekend just wondering wether to take it or not, here’s the specs if it makes any sense to anyone

Hello all. I'm a fairly new T5 camper owner (Leisuredrive Built) and loving the freedom and fun of Vanlife The van has a boiler and a microwave that we can use if we are on hookup but using the leisure battery alone the plugs won't work so those luxuries are out of action. The question I have...

Hello, newish campervan owner. I have a brand new leisure battery that is not taking charge on EHU or when we drive, It was fitted last weekend, we drove 87 miles, plugged into the EHU at a campsite and three days later the battery was down to 11.4. We switched off the fridge, which was the...
