leisure battery

Hi all, I’ve read as much as I can find relevant to this problem and hoping for some expert advice. I’ve purchased a 500A Renogy Battery Monitor (I think you are all familiar). The installation is simple enough, except the bolts on the shunt are 10mm and all my accessories (negative terminal...

Checked the leisure battery earlier today via the usb sockets. They were reading 11.9v. Thought it wise to hook up and put some charge into the leisure battery. It's been on for the best part of the day and now reads 12.9v. Maybe a daft question, but when is there enough juice in the battery so...

Hi all, First post and excited to finally join the T6 community rather than lurking in the background! Just bought a T6.0 with Westfalia towbar installed. Is there any way to power a leisure battery from the towbar electrics? I've read on this thread from @catfood12 that there's additional...

Hi all, Does anybody have advice for (or against!) a simple kombi day van setup where there are lights, 12v and USB ports in the back of the van running from the engine battery? I'm looking to avoid a full leisure battery setup as it's unlikely we will need it. We will take a 12v fridge when...

Hi guys, we're looking at using the space under our front seats to store our leisure batteries. We have space under the driver seat but have a double passenger seat (which we are keeping) which appears to be boxed in underneath. Has anyone stored batteries under their double seats and how have...

Hi guys, I am looking to install a 110amp battery underneath my lhd kiravans driver seat swivel. Do you guys have any tips for this and more importantly, is this possible to do in regards to the wires underneath the drivers seat?

Hi everyone, I have a 2019 VW T6 with Camperking Le Mans conversion. After taking it for a habitation service locally today, I've discovered that the leisure battery cannot be removed from its compartment underneath the cupboards (the access hole is too small). I just wondered if anyone else...

Wanted a leisure batteary but didn’t want it under the front seats so made this to fit under the right hand side rear seat of a Kombi. Also includes a Midi\Maxi fuse box and a Renogy DC DC charger. Vanarchy Newquay done a great job carpeting before it gets installed. Was not able to find...

Hi all, I use BM2 to monitor my starter and my leisure battery (2 seperate BM2s). I checked the starter battery the day after we'd had a 1 night camping trip and it showed 7% - almost flat!! Which is odd as the battery is less than a year old and clearly we had driven home from the camping...

On removing the seat and putting swivel vase onto base the leisure battery sits too high is it just a case of re locating the battery or adding two Rectangular tube spacers I between base and swivel ??? Any ideas or help grately appreciated

Hi, I've been having various problems with my starter battery over the past year and am not sure what to do next. The 2016 van was converted and a VSR was installed by the chap who did the conversion, which I've come to realise isn't suitable for a van with a Euro 6 engine. I replaced the...

Hi All. First shout for help. My van is two months old and I have a problem with power from my leisure battery. The scenario is that while I was driving home one day and had put the system in to power the fridge. When I got home the fridge was off and the system looked as though it was flat...

leisure/deep cycle AGM battery 105Ah 2 yo, still some life in it, but not 100% not needed anymore as I upgraded to lithium (pickup from Nailsea (South of Bristol)).

Hi I’ve got a T6 van and was converted approx 2 years ago with a decent size leisure battery. The van has not been used that many times, however I did a test the other day , I fully charged the battery up for 48 hours, the battery was showing a full charge, I switched the fridge on with nothing...

Evening all, I am looking at 240v power options for the van, and rather than a traditional split charge/leisure battery, I have been looking at removable batteries like the Ecoflow Delta / Goal Zero Yeti 1000x. I'm a photographer so having power I can take out of the van on shoots would be...

Good afternoon guys. I posted a while ago regarding some issues with my charger/battery and I’m still trying to resolve them. would anyone be kind enough to post the settings used for a victron 12-12-30 dc/dc non insulated charger with a 110 agm battery. I’m struggling with getting charge and...

Hi Just started on the conversion project - first task to swap the single seat in the front for a double on a kirivans swivel base. Single seat out no problem. First problem I noticed - not enough bolts for the new double seat - but think I've got that sorted. Next problem (sorry...

I’m thinking of buying a BM2 bluetooth battery monitor for my T6 starter battery. It seems like a good idea to also install one on the leisure battery but as both will be in bluetooth range is it possible for the software on the phone to give separate readings?

Hi everyone! I'm begining my conversion on my van and have decided on the U shaped Layout. Probably from van furniture or similar. But the question is where is the best positions for the leisure battery, split charge, hookup, consumer unit and 12v fusebox with this layout? Considering I want to...
