vehicle battery

Hi everyone I am away for a few weeks so my van which is my everyday will be sat on the drive. How long before the battery dies, should I get my neighbour to turn it over from time to time? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Got a 2019 T6, original battery and its been playing up for a while. Last few weeks its taking longer to crank, not much but enough to be slightly embarrasing if it churns away for 5-10 seconds before biting. It's got a fair bit running off of it now like trackers and alarms...

Hi, my starter battery appears goosed after a long period of inactivity. Needed jumping before the CTEK would recognise it and after nearly 24 hours charging/reconditioning it started but after driving a short while the battery light came on and it now won’t restart. It’s a Varta in it but can I...

Hi, Had a new starter battery fitted by local garage. Been on a few longish runs 70 miles round trip and 30 miles. The control panel is still showing not full, do I need to do more miles or could it be something else? Going back to the garage but they say not camper experts so may need to...

Hi. Just fitted a new 95ah starter battery after which the MFD is showing a Stop/Start error when switched on. Also Carista is showing Battery Monitor Module fault. Battery has been registered with the Carista. Any thoughts and is the van ok to drive? Thanks for your thoughts.

Several days ago I fitted a permanent battery charger connection to the starter battery (directly across the terminals). I now have a CTEK MXS5.0 connected permanently while parked up at home. This keeps the starter battery fully charged and as it’s ’intelligent’ should not cause battery...

Hi, I've just bought a second hand T5 campervan, and it's great! However, in trying to work out the electrics, I had a question about the recommended wiring diagram that's in the PMS3 manual. It suggests that the car battery is connected to "FRIDGE IN", via a relay that only closes when the...

Hi folks, Battery warning light came on dash as driving home Wednesday night. Thursday morning it stayed off. Took it to a garage to check it over and they said the battery is fine, but obviously could be the alternator. Drove to work (25 miles) and it stayed off. As driving home last night...

originally my van (t6) wouldn’t hold charge overnight and when I came the next morning battery was flat. Checked and was getting 14.78V once engine was running. Checked to see what A it was pulling while completely locked and was dropping too less than 20mA. Took it for a battery check and they...

My T6.1 van was ordered by the converters, from VW , with no 2nd battery. The converters fit their own leisure battery (Lifepo4) and DC/solar charging system (Projecta IDC25X) and Victron BlueSmart Charger. The whole leisure system is completely separate from VW starter battery, Luckily, the...

Got this Telematics error the other day. Cleared it first with Carista and then with VCDS, but it keeps coming back. On the dash. Vehicle says everything is fine and there are no warning lights, but there's a periodic chime that's low and pings 3x. Traveling in South America. Any specific...

I'm after a little bit of advice/guidance if you don't mind? I "think" my starter battery is on the way out, as it appears to be getting worse at holding charge. It's on a 150 DSG T6.1, on a '23 plate, but the van itself wasn't ordered by me, and I think was probably sat in the convertors for...
