leisure battery

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...

Hi, I have a PV Logic MPPT Pro Dual Batter Solar Charge Controller. It no longer seems to be charging the battery. I’ve connected to the unit via Bluetooth - it says there is no charge available and I’m not sure why. I have checked the wired connections etc. Any ideas on what to check? Is the...

Seems like my 3 year old exide 142ah is on it's way out, not been charged for a few months and having been plugged in with the fridge on unbeknown to me the rcd had tripped letting the fridge kill the battery. So replacement, another £150 exide which will do another 3 years hopefully, or do I...

One the first trips in our new van will be a long weekend without EHU. My question is twofold. I have to use a CPAP machine at night and without hookup, i will need to find a suitable car charger to run it. So question part one - does the cigarette lighter power come from the main or leisure...

Hello T6 family, I hope someone out there may be able to help me. I am not bad at most aspects of converting but I am a complete retard when if comes to Auto Electrics. I am at the point where I have bought a 110ah Lifepo4 leisure battery and about to locate it under the drivers seat. Can any...

Has the wiring been altered in this van? Long story, sorry. Leisure battery under passenger seat has failed so thought time to upgrade to lithium and add a solar panel. Removing the seat and looking at the wiring I am confronted by what looks like to be a bit of a bodge job. At some point a...

Hi everyone. I've taken on a 2016 Caravelle with some conversion work already carried out. It has a towbar fitted and there is a Ryder TF1170 fitted under the passenger seat. Anyone familiar with this device can help me overcome my confusion, hopefully. The un-switched o/p (4) is connected to...

Hi All I have a T6.1 and I ordered a factory leisure battery under the passenger seats. I want to put a Rusty Lee swivel in. Has anyone done this, did you put the battery underneath and did the wiring loom extend far enough. Or if there's any other suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks guys

A long shoit but does anyone have the genuine battery tray for under the twin front seat? Thanks

Hi. Quite chuffed with this and wanted to share. I installed some rear speakers (Focal RCX-100 4” Coaxial) with a view to adding them to my head unit. After monitoring my starter battery, and seeing it sit at about 12.3-12.4V, I then wished I could run sound off the leisure battery to avoid...

Not long had my new van and after a bit of exploring silencing the odd squeak and rattle I have noticed the leisure battery the previous owner installed is laid on its side as you can see in the pic. Question I have is this a safe way of mounting it and if so when I need to replace do I need a...

Hello newbie here had my t6 for a couple of years and have used my webasto heater a couple of times only on electric hook up, tried to use it off grid and can’t seem to get it started. When I try to turn it on on the smart control it doesn’t turn on and seems to have no power am I missing...
