vehicle battery

Hi When I installed my leisure battery I fitted a CTEK D250SE which works perfectly. But now I want to also install an electric hook up, I am okay with getting the mains power in to the van but am unsure how to set this up to keep my leisure battery topped up. My questions are these, is there a...

Hi everyone, Frank here from Norwich. I bought a lovely second-hand T6 (2017 plate) and was wondering how I could use my Jackery power station to keep the starter battery topped up? Sadly, my van has to live outside since we don't have a garage or other undercover parking opportunity. Last...

Hi, I added some new DLR bulbs, but as it was not very good light conditions when testing the bulbs, the dip beam lights came on, but i noticed that the lights are flickering.. would this just be the alternator not generating enough current or something more sinister going on? cheers

Do i need to program anything to change battery in T6.1 2020? The battery is 3 years old and lose the power pretty fast, almost down to 11,9V So i need to change the battery to something better.

So flat battery this morning. Dash lights OK, and the remote unlock worked OK, but dim lights when the key was turned and the battery monitor was reading 11.15v. Its a 2018 van and the original battery was replaced under warranty within the 1st year (with another Moll that I suspect they got out...

Hi Guys, I've sold my van and just before I did this I decided to get the starter battery changed just for good measure. The original battery was working fine before it was removed and it never drained much when sitting. The spec of the new battery was slightly different and it was booked in...

Could someone or a couple of people next time they are at their van please pop the bonnet and check the part number on the battery control module on their negative battery terminal and let me know please? Any T6 from 2016 onward. If you could let me know they year as well that would be great...

Hello. I just replaced my battery. The previous one failed. However, with the engine running OBDeleven showed battery voltage 14.4 volts - obviously the alternator charging. I just coded in the battery, but one I do an OBDeleven scan it showed the battery as on being 12.2 volts, but then more...

Bit of an odd question, but how do the door mirrors behave on a T6.1 when the main battery is disconnected and reconnected? I have to fold my mirrors in, via the door switch, in order to park it in my garage. Soon I’m going to be disconnecting my starter battery while I do some work on it in the...

Anyone have any idea please T6.1 Symptoms…. Passenger window fails to operate on either switch. If you leave drivers door window open and try to lock with remote the doors lock but the drivers window fails to shut. Also mirrors fail to spin up on lock. Also msg on startup on touchscreen...

Auxiliary battery I took out of my Ex RAC van, not been used for months but showing 12.47volts when I just checked. Free collection from West Yorkshire near Rochdale.

Good morning, on starting my 1966 BiTDI several yellow lights appeared: (1) tyre pressure (flashing then on constantly) (2) stability (3) ABS. The BlueMotion also became unavailable and remained so. Tyres all OK and have reset to no avail. Any help please? 1 sensor/fuse to rule them all...

Hi all, I am going abroad for 4 weeks and have to leave the van at work, I have got a smallish solar panel with controller to trickle charge the starter battery with crocodile clips. The van has a tracker and aftermarket immobilizer fitted so wanted to try and counter any current draw. My...

I’m a complete duffer when it comes to electrics so sorry if this sounds stupid. I’m staying away from home for work one or two nights a week at the moment, always in the van. Usually I stay at sites with hookup but not always but as I have a solar panel and I drive 10+ miles into work and back...

Hello I have browsed through other threads on the same theme, but looking for help with battery drain. When I picked the van up 1 month ago, the battery was flat. Jump started and it has been 'fine' since (although I was driving along one dat and noticed the red battery light on the dash). Last...

Transporter T6 Hi all, my battery has gone flat again. It was new a few weeks ago because old one was old and kept going flat, now this new one has. Put on charge this morning and alarm came on and i couldn't turn it off..eventually stopped. Am i doing something wrong with how I leave the PMS...

Recently purchased a van and whilst getting dash cam fitted it had a free health check. They commented that the only issue was the battery was a bit low. Its had a good run out since then and my old VW connect app states that it is 11.5v no trouble starting so far and just wondering if this is a...

Hi all, I have a Durite VSR on a T5.1. It's not start/stop. The starter battery recently failed, despite Halfords testing and saying it was okay. The leisure battery is an AGM xtreme. I have a mains battery charger that is kept separate to the system for our cars and is AGM compatible...

Help please. On the power board I have a switch marked "van" or "car" I thought (told when purchased) that when plugged into the camp site mains that the switch should be on car (which in my opinion should really say leisure battery). Tried to start the van this morning and it's absolutely flat...

Hi, we have a T5 and have a battery issue. When the engine is at ambient temperature it starts ok and if I turn it off whilst engine still cool, it starts again fine. However, when the engine is warm after a drive, the battery has drained after about 10 mins. There doesn't seem to be a...
