vehicle battery

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...

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...
