I currently have both captains seats on swivels (Sportscraft), and I thought why not add a leisure battery under the drivers. Turns out I have the swivel with the nut on the bottom rather than the top, so I think I will have clearance issues with trying to put a leisure battery there. I...

Hi. Feeling a bit ignorant and wondering if anyone can help please? I'm trying to install my new leisure battery on a split charge system - see pic. It seems to have only two terminals, whereas the old one had three. The brown wire was attached to the third terminal. What is this wire and where...

Hello. First time poster here so be kind. Does anyone know if you can use a 4gauge tinned ofc power wire as the main power lead going from your starter battery to your leisure battery via a split charger? I have a 2005 VW T5 LWB and it already has one installed and run through the van to power...

Hey guys, I'm looking at leisure batteries. There's heaps of options and ways of fitting them so I feel a little swamped. Lets see your Battery set up, where have you placed it, what would you have done different, if you vented and how you vented? See if someone out there can inspire me to...

Hi all, apologies if this has been covered before - I couldn't find it anywhere on here. I'm planning to run a double-DIN head unit solely from a leisure battery, and naturally would like the reversing camera to come on when I engage reverse. In the (admittedly rare) situation where I might...

Hi everyone, I have a T4 campervan with the leisure battery located underneath the driver's seat. The battery is 21 y.o. and needs replacing but I cannot find a leisure battery that has a low enough profile to fit. The current one is c. 130cm in height and is a snug fit. If anyone had any...

Over the winter I have killed another Leisure battery as my Solar panel died and I didnt realise the VSR fuse had blown aswell. While I sort out new solar panels for the van I also want to upgrade the charger and look to be going for the Ablemail ABMC 1230 DC-DC on Upspex recommendation. I...

Just got a complete professional leisure rewire done to my 2010 T5. I see the CTEK charging unit has a "conditioning" mode and just want to check that I can connect to mains via the hookup and leave it running overnight on the conditioning mode, or is there a specific time this needs to run...

Hello, I'm hoping one of you lovely helpful folk can advise me. I think my leisure battery has boiled over. There was a nasty smell, described by members of my family like "eggs" and "burning", coming from inside the van, pretty sure from the leisure battery, which is inside the front seat...

Hey :) Anyone know if I can use a 12V 140amp Durite 0-727-33 voltage sensitive/intelligent Split Charge Relay to power/charge x2 batteries at the same time by connecting them both to the VSR? I have a 110ah leisure bat and also a 30ah bat from a golf cart that I want to use to power my 12v TV...

Hi guys and gals We currently have a leisure battery neatly installed under the driver's seat. This is currently running at 100ah and would be looking to upgrade, mainly because the charge doesn't hold for long so I suspect it has been discharged fully a few times. In terms of practicability...

Hi all, I'm in the process of replacing the dead leisure battery on my T5 camper. I've got a 250W solar panel on the roof, so am going for AGM batteries this time around. I decided to get an extra battery, so I would have 2 leisure batteries to double my capacity for off grid camping...
