vehicle battery

Hi guys I finished the conversion on my T6 - with a lot of help from members of this forum. I now have a strange problem, which has happened twice. I have a Renogy DC-DC charger fitted with a solar panel connected. That's great for topping up the vehicle battery when not in use for a couple of...

Battery fully charged reads 13.7v after 10 seconds with a heavy duty discharge tester the battery still reads 12.4v and the tester says it is in the green. (The battery was disconnected from the vehicle for this test). My feeling is that the battery is fine but that there is something wrong...

Anyone know of or could recommend auto electrician in Northern Ireland? Decided once and for all as great as Noco GBX75 is.... Using everytime in van to start it is no longer practical or sensible. Thinking I have now used / ruined a battery in a year due to constantly draining. Ford's response...

There seem to be a few threads on this but not one that covers my problem. the back ground. 2021 T6.1 bi turbo 2wd with about 9000miles on, full camper conversion, have had an issue for a while now with battery going flat over maybe 3-4 days from fully charged to just a click when you turn key...

Fitted today 13 July, at Wrexham VW Van dealership under warranty. Removed 20 mins later as not required. VW had to fit and log it into VW system. Varta 70ah EFB+ stamped VW. Can not find exact replacement as this is a VW specific item. £70.00 collection from CH5

Hi all, I need to add another +12v feed from the starter battery terminal , what's the best way as there isn't much room available underneath the nut on the terminal. Any suggestions please? It's a 2021 t6.1. Thanks in advance

Hi all, first post for yonks. I have a full camper converted T6 Transporter and for the second time I have a flat battery. Not started for about 5 weeks or so and this time totally flat, no lights on dash, nothing. Connected battery charger to terminals and needle on battery charger kept...

Apologies for perhaps starting a new thread when this is covered elsewhere, but I am being a bit slow and just wanting to check. I have a vw shunt on the negative terminal but also a few other connections, probably from the camper conversion. I have seen in other threads that this should not...

Hello, My T6.1 starter battery shows as low (with a warning to drive the vehicle) after being at a campsite for ~4 nights. However, I can leave it parked outside the house for a few weeks & have no battery issue. I’ve checked that there are no internal lights on in the cab (doors etc), but...

Doors to the van has been open quite a bit over the last couple of days as I've been slowly loading stuff in preparation for our road trip to Europe road trip starting tomorrow mornings. There haven't been any problems until a short while ago when I pressed the lock button on the remote and...

Sorry to join and just ask a question off the bat, but I'm losing my mind here. So I installed a lifepo4 battery, it wasn't getting a charge from my dcdc charger, which wasn't getting power from the aux supply (factory fitted) Removed the starter batt to check the big 100a fuses there, one...

Hi, I've noticed my 19 plate t6 struggles to start after a short journey like a school run. On several occasions when I start the van but don't drive then turn it off the next time I try to start it won't start! When it's happend previously it's gone to the garage I got it from and vw and...

I'm planning on adding 4 downlights to the roof in the rear of my t6.1 And debating if it will be fine to run off ignition battery with a seperate switch or if i should be on seperate circuit and connected to my ecoflow setup. I will retain the cargo lights that will continue to work as normal...

Have looked at previous threads and some seem to conflict with what I’m finding. 2023 T6.1 Hillside Birchover Classic campervan; uses standard VW factory fitted aux battery fitted under passenger seat. I’ve just measured the voltage on both the upper and lower cab 12v sockets both with the EHU...

Hi guys, Looking for some help. Recently, my 150 Highline has had an issue with the lights pulsing, bright then dim, constantly. Also, when the ignition is turned off, the infotainment system turns itself off due to ‘insufficient battery charge’. I’m also not sure that my start/stop system is...

For about a month I’ve been monitoring the starter battery with a BM2, as recommended on here, so that I know when I need to connect an external charger. For context it’s a 2016 Euro 5 with Stop Start BM. It’s a campervan conversion and it doesn’t get used much this time of year. The battery...

Hi all I have a 2019 150 manual with start stop, and my battery is not holding charge. So I have been looking at replacements and found a Yuasa amg 7000 which looks like a direct swap without needing recoded? I have also seen the Yuasa amg 9000 which would probably suit me better with an...

Hello all I Got these codes coming up Anyone can tell me what it is ? Van is 2019 with 120k miles on It seems like fans are coming on quiet often even after short journeys sometimes Plus alternator is charging at 15 volt when engine running and when not running battery showing 11.9 volt...

Hey Guys, Following the advice from the forum, I fitted the excellent BM2 Bluetooth battery monitor to the starter battery. Despite being careful whilst installing the device I realised that the battery had become disconnected as the clock needed to be reset. Everything worked okay except the...

Evening. How long should the volts stay at 14.9 when driving? and should the charging volts be the same on the leisure battery as the engine battery at the same time ? for info t6 beach around 1 degrees out side temp. Led lights on
