EHU cable-run in to cab area.

Evening to the collective.

Just a quick question. And yes I have searched

Those of you with split charging and EHU under the bonnet, did you use the same hole through the passenger side grommet? I'm about to run my EHU hook up into the drivers side base but wanted to check if there was another route.

Cheers

I think many do if they are also running a 12v charge feed as it's easy to route both at once so long as there is space.

There are a list of alternative points in this thread:

Split charge cabling & sunroof drain pipe grommet issue

Discovered today that cannot run EHU/split charge cabling through the 'usual' grommet behind the starter battery as my van has a sunroof and that's where a drain pipe grommet is fitted. Only other holes I could see (no grommets) fed in to the wing. Removed the battery tray as some cables...

@drinfinity read through your cracking write up. I have the same Wylex CU as you fitted to yours. After seeing yours I'm seriously considering moving my CU under the bonnet too. Is this secured to anything or just 'in' there? I have a T6.1 so probably same amount of room to play with.

It’s held on with heavy duty Velcro underneath and on the side. The hookup socket is loose, just tucked out of the way.

Thanks. Will have a look what I've got in the garage

No, I use the underseat grommet

Benefit to battery under passenger seat

Hi Folk, I’ll shortly be heading down the leisure battery route, to enable diesel heater, lights and additional rear sockets etc. I see most people mount the battery under the drivers seat. Is there a main reason for this? We’ve got a captain seat up front, and I’m looking at the possible...

My van has a cable from the starter battery through the bulkhead into the passenger footwell (for the dc-dc charger)..
I want add an electric hook up under the bonnet.
Before I start taking the van to bits I was hoping if someone can tell me if there are 2 rubber grommets that can be used into the passenger footwell.
If not how have others routed the cables?

There are two rubber grommets (about 3 inch apart) going from behind the battery into the footwell. sounds like you're only currently using one?
