vehicle battery

Hi, Hope alls swell(tering) for everyone :) (MY17 150TDBMT Exec Velle) I have been spending time at educating myself as to how a dsg works. Something i find a little vague in other parts of the WWW is to do with how the electrical system may impact the working of the gear slector/mechatronic...

having not used The van for 3 weeks,and only use it on weekends Or every other in normal times!..the starter battery was down to 11.8v so I decided on utilising my fixed solar panel on my pop top as a permanent fit & forgot solution to maintain the starter battery,I also wanted to utilise this...

So many identical threads.... poor old Dellmassive must be worn out ;) Heres a cheap option for all those asking "what panel should I buy?" - eighteen quid delivered from the UK is a bargain. Comes with leads & croc clips. Its small enough to sit outside on the screen or inside on the dash, &...

If you for some reason connected the battery terminals incorrectly ( don’t ask how just yet !! ) What fuse is going to blow? Will it do any other damage 2018 T6 dual clutch

I want to add a permanent battery charger lead to my starter battery. The problem is that there are no threads left to attach it to the usual place due to my towbar installation (see picture). i thought about using the clamp bolt thread behind it, but I can’t work out what thread it is - it’s...

Another Battery Thread Yay... After reading many threads include @Dellmassive Battery Chargers How I did it. Since the battery is dead (just enough to sound the alarm) I plan on getting this NOCO 10 amp charger to fully charge and then maintain this charge by plugging it in every few days...

Hi All, I was experiencing that my starter battery was going flat due to not being used during this lock down. So, with help from @Dellmassive. He suggested that i bought a 50w solar panel and to connect it to one of the 12v sockets in the dashboard. I also bought 2 x BM2 battery monitors and...

Anyone any recommendations for a mains battery charger i.e. charging the starter battery on\off the van, not a built in leisure battery charger? Can't move the van cos the battery's now flat as a pancake and my old charger is bust. Some of the ones on Amazon look a bit weedy but I want to get...

Hi all I have had an ongoing issue with my van struggling to turn over, this all started towards the end of last year when I went on holiday for 2 weeks. When I returned I started the van and although it started it struggled turning over, I didn't think a lot of it as the van had been stood...

As my van is sat on the drive not being used I'm thinking of buying a small solar charger for the main AGM battery. Ideally it'll fit on the dash and be easy to connect. Any recommendations...

So with the current situation my camper isn’t coming out of the garage much which has made me think about maintaining the starter battery. I already have a Victron 30a charger to charge my twin leisure battery setup but have been thinking about changing it for a triple output Victron instead...

Here's a question. I have a CTEK250SE installed and also use a Victron 75/15 MPPT controller with a 160w solar panel. During the current travel restrictions, I see my starter battery dropping sometimes down to 11.5v so leave it running for 15mins to get it back up into 12v territory every 3-4...

No abuse please. Want to lock van, then disconnect battery as away for month. Is the immobiliser still operating when battery disconnected? I assume it will remain locked at least. I don't want to leave it on trickle charge. Appreciate your replies in advance. Thanks.Bluey.

Hi, is there something available which will allow me to connect a 240 volt hook up directly to the main battery so I can using the lights etc in the back of my van when I'm on a camp site with draining my battery? Thanks Alex

My T6 is garaged and I will only be using it once a month for trips so I am looking at a simple way of keeping the main battery topped up. There is just the standard current draw when parked up from the vans systems in standby.. From searching this topic on here the best way seems to be a...

Hi All, Question - Could I take a male to male cigar lead and plug from the 12v leisure system to the dash and keep the vehicle battery topped up or would this not work? Cheers Cz.

Hello, some of you may have seen my post a while back about how my battery kept dying, but if not ill give you the basics. -Battery died after around 3 weeks no use -VW said everything was ok I just needed my battery charging corrected -VW charged battery correctly -Battery still died -VW blame...

Just ordered a ctek time to go charger as main battery voltage is low. Do i need to disconnect the battery leads before connecting the charger? Vw T6 2016. Thanks...

Hi all Maybe a silly question but is the battery covered under the 3 year warranty ? Van is two years old and battery seems to be knackered Ta Marc.
