vehicle battery

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...

So, the fun continues. I thought OBD11 would help with with my battery setup, but apparently not so much on an IOS device. Nevermind. This is the information I am able to get. Does this look ok for a 2016 T6 140PS stop/start? The battery installed is a Varta 80Ah, see picture. Any of these...

Hi all.. Hope someone may be able to shed some light on this one. So I am using an Victron 12-12-18a isolated DC to DC charger. This is how I have wired it : - Positive from starter battery to input positive on Victron - Negative from earth point under seat to negative input on Victron -...

So I have a Sterling DC to DC B2B charger and have bought an AMT 12-2 to keep the starter battery topped up (Leisure Battery topped up by separate solar). Is it as simple as connecting the AMT 12-2 to the connectors in the Sterling unit labelled 5, 4 and 3 or am I a clueless :rolleyes: AMT

Sorry if this has been answered before.. Is it possible to mount the above charger (or the 25a version) next to the main battery under the bonnet ?

So it was my understanding that the 250SA should charge the starter battery as well as the leisure battery when the leisure battery is full. Current demand on the leisure battery is dash cam on all the time, Wi-Fi modem and GSM module for my Webasto heater Right now the leisure battery is...

Hi, sorry to bother you. Come across a massive issue on our first trip. So..... I have dc dc charger, all working well. Sargent system, but only plugged into leisure battery. Didn't run any cables to starter battery at all... Yesterday was fine. Plugged into hook up and turned charger on...

Afternoon all. I’ve a battery monitor in place that’s showing ‘low cranking voltage’ from the starter battery. The battery itself is only 2 months old. Today I had a Start/Stop error. I’ve attached screenshots. Any help gratefully received

Help please!! Disconnected my battery today to do some maintenance. Reconnected it and now the head unit is doing weird stuff. When I turn it on I get a message saying “The Optical Parking System (OPS) is not available. (Ok)”. The reversing beep still sounds but the picture of the van on the...

Sorry this might be a stupid unanswerable question but I’ve just picked up my new to me 3 year old van and I was having a look about the engine just checking thing out and I noticed this extra wire coming from the positive terminal of the battery. Wasn’t too concerned till I noticed a 25amp fuse...

Hi, I know there is another thread about battery disconnect, but asking more about how head unit will work. So fitting towbar and electrics at weekend, need to disconnect battery. Anyone had any issues with the Discover Media (5C0035680G) head unit and disconnecting battery? is there a code...

Evening all We had our newly converted camper arrive around 2 weeks ago. We haven't had a chance to get out in it yet, no user manuals arrived from the converter yet so we are not familiar with how to navigate the kit onboard. Tonight the battery is entirely flat, had to jump it, and there is...

Hi, I won't be using my van for a few weeks so I wanted to top up the battery from my mobile solar panels. I have the magic box the solar came with and also came with crocodile clips. I believe the battery has some little box of tricks attached to it that reads the charge in and out so its not...

There is an option when buying a Beach Camper T6.1 of adding a battery and alternator with more capacity. Do you know what's is the new capacity and if the new battery capacity is for the motor battery or the leisure battery? The Beach Camper model does not have the option of adding an extra...

Morning all, The battery in my T6.1 is a EFB+ 420A 75A standard VW battery. As the van hasn't being used a lot, the battery was showing as under 12v. I used my Victron 7A charger on AGM settings all day yesterday to get it up to full charge. Afterwards it was reading 12.87V. This morning it...

Hi All, I have have read many posts on here about charging 2 batteries and now my head is fried. I have a T6, 16 plate and after reading about VSRs and the new alternator charging technology, I understand my existing Split Charge VSR is doing nothing to charge my leisure battery. Am I correct...

Hi all, had my van on charge for the last few months with a battery monitor on my phone, had to put the car in for repair so used the van Monday morning for work and again this morning, checked the battery dinner time to find it had gone down from 91% to about 53% in just a couple of days. The...

Hi All, Appreciate this is a topic that's done to death and not wanting to replicate threads - I've had a good look through the forum but can't find anything specific to say yes or no and the best way of undertaking my thinking. So I'm replacing my starter battery with the Bosch S5 A13 to...

Hi all, Its been minus 10c for the last week and the van has been sat outside not moving for the week. The starter battery was totally dead last night. With jump leads it took about 10 minutes connected to another vehicle before it would start. As the original battery is 70aH and probably 5...
