Hi, really needing some help with my new camper.
I recently bought a T6 all kitted out. Everything seemed to work ok to begin with in the first month. I took it away on a weekend trip and noticed the battery was not charged so I had to go to a site and hook up to get electricity.
After leaving...
Hello,
We 've got a T6 Beach on a 2017 plate and am having issues with the leisure battery not charging, the RCD in the boot of the van trips instantly and I suspect the factory fit VW charger is to blame, seeing as the charger is hidden behind the trim I'd like to have a suitable replacement...
Hello all,
I am working up courage to swap split charge relay with a Victron DC to DC and Ablemail 12-2.
I only currently have a 75 sized leisure battery. So was thinking of changing that too for a bigger capacity.
This is all under driver seat (impacted by diesel heater dusting).
I have...
I am installing a solar panel with lithium battery and was hoping someone could recommend whether to use a Voltage Sensitive Relay or DC-DC (battery to battery) charger so that I can charge the leisure battery from the starter battery when the engine is running?
Hi guys,
Hoping you can help.
We replaced our leisure battery in July due to the previous being dead - it was tested by our local garage and confirmed so I replaced it.
Since then we appear to be having an issue with the split charging system - when on EHU we have endless power which appears...
Hi everyone
I have just bought my first camper and was told that the battery charges whilst driving, but it dosn't.
I have read the post regarding split charge relays on a euro 6, I can see a unit under the seat that says split charge relay, so I think that is causing my stop / start issue as...
I know this subject has been covered to death but I don't know what you do regarding the OEM relay. So my van had the 2nd battery and I am planning the electrics going forward, I am going to put a lithium under the driver's seat hopefully and use the OEM wiring. So what do you do with the...
Hi all, first post here but have been lingering for a while.
I've had some split charge issues with my 2017 t6 Cali Beach. Purchased it a few months ago. I have the relay with 100 written on it with all associated cables, the 80 amp fuse under the passenger seat, the leisure battery and...
After a lot of research and a steep learning curve here's my plan and some context.
Context: I bought a November 2015 registered T6 t28 Trendline Bluemotion converted to a camper in Jan 2017. It was fitted with Sargent EC155 and a VSR. The VSR is, I'm pretty confident acceptable ( it doesn't...
My friend has a 2016 T6 from a conversion company. It has a 80ah AGM starter battery and the converter installed a ‘smart battery isolator’ split charge instead of a b2b charger.
The alternator was replaced a couple of months ago.
The van has been throwing up a stop start error for a while and...
Hi All, my T6 has this under drivers seat. I’m thinking that when ever my ignition is on the leisure battery is simply connected to my starter battery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My Researching is leading me to swap this for victron smart dc dc charger. Quick questions 1. It’s a Straight forward swap and suitable...
Is ok to leave the IBS cable disconnected from the battery negative? I have a voltage sensitive relay for charging my secondary battery and the mechanic told me with this cable off I'll have costant voltage (transporter T6 2015). Thanks
Hi all. Looking for help on identifying/fixing this issue.
When pulling away from stopped sometimes (there doesn’t seem to be an obvious set of circumstances) I can hear a clicking noise coming from under the drivers seat. All I can see under the drivers seat is the leisure battery and the...
Hi,
I have a 2017 T6 with a factory fit leisure battery under the passenger seat and I recently wired up a combined USB, 12V socket and volt meter with a switch to the rear cabin area. I connected this directly to the leisure battery with an inline fuse (both positive and negative were direct...
Hi all looking back into putting a battery in my van and wondering what I need etc, is it a basic split charge relay system or because I have a t6 is it an expensive thing to do, my van is only a bmt102 but is a euro 5 not 6 as no as blue, I think it may have start stop but doesn’t work but...
Morning all,
so yet another issue I have come across since getting my van back from the converters.
They fitted a voltage sensing relay.... I have a 2019 T6 2.0TSI with stop start. I am pretty sure as these have a smart alternator I NEED a dc-dc charger, such as The CTEK?
Cheers
Hi all,
I see this topic has been approached a couple of times, but I’m looking for some specific guidance to enable me to replace my existing VSR with a CTEK 250SE.
So, I’m aware I need to create a ignition feed and run it to my new charger. The existing VSR says it’s ‘ignition protected’...
Fitting a Ctek B2B unit but having problems locating the VSR. Looked around the leisure and starter battery, without any luck. Before I strip back the dashboard and lift the carpets, any suggestions would be appreciated. I have one of the last T5's, Thanks..
Hi all,
In short I have a dual sensing VSR wired up from starter battery to leisure battery.
I also have one of those AiLi battery monitors which uses a shunt wired up in series on the ground side. The monitor seems to work fine with my loads on (just a fridge, some lights, usbs) showing a...
I'm just about to install the cabling for the split charge relay from the main battery to the the underside of my drivers seat. I have ordered a proper battery tray for my leisure battery. (the battery is one that will fit height wise ok under the seat). But, the slight confusion I am having is...
