leisure battery

Hi, replaced my AGM battery with a Lithium one and the negative battery clamp didn’t want to tighten down on the post. The positive tightened properly but the negative one getting riding up the post as I tried to tighten it. It seems ok at the moment, I just tightened it enough so it couldn’t...

So I figured out that I'd like to keep track of this as I go along. It's not a full build thread which I will probably tag this into. However I decided when I paid out last year to do a freshen up of my electric install. When I initially did the van last year I ran out of time and the most...

Hi, I need to fit a leisure battery along with split charge, fuse box etc to my t6 kombi. I have bought all the kit from Rayne Automotive along with a battery plate from MVM. I’ve taken the drivers seat out and tried to suss it all out but it doesn’t look like it’ll fit. The plate doesn’t...

Hello guys! I own a T6.1. I was wondering, that cigarette lighter socket in the front (next to the USB-C plug), it is connected to the engine battery or leisure battery? once my engine battery was dead but I was still able to charge my phone with that 12v plug, so I am confused... Thanks a...

Hi Im just in the process of fitting my leisure battery and wiring my lighting etc. I have just read an article ref venting the leisure battery is this something everyone has done as I have not done this in the past?

Hi all, I’ve had a scan and nothing really hits the spot in the previous threads that I can see but apologies if it exists… We got out van (2019 kombi Swb) at Xmas, it has OEM rear seat and fold out kombi nation bed behind. It also has 230v hook up, 100 Ah leisure battery under the passenger...

Has anyone tried one of these under floor battery boxes from New Wave Custom Conversions; https://www.newwavecustomconversions.co.uk/product/under-body-leisure-battery-storage/ I am considering using one to free up room in the van but I am concerned what would happen if I crossed a river?

For whatever reason, my van has a mobile Leisure Battery. Maybe its a new invention, maybe it was just lazy on the previous owners part, but I find myself wanting to fix this situation, lest the battery become mobile in the event of an accident or just start touching things it shouldnt be when...

Hi as a new member I would like to ask some advice, roughly without electric hook up how long would a leisure battery run a dometic compressor fridge, also I have a T6, euro 6 model will this charge the leisure battery if the engine is idling?? Thanks

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...
