Can anyone help please...
2006 T5 California, I think the leisure batteries have seen better days?
Usual story, fully charged before a 3 day event without hook-up, aux heater works first night but once the battery is at 80% on the panel, the heater only blows cold (reading the manual this is apparently normal)?
It's a VARTA CCA 800 12v AGM 75aH with dimensions 315x175x190.
VW Van Centre has given us a price to replace like for like but I wondered if anyone has replaced with a higher aH (within same dimensions), and would this keep the aux heater running longer?
Plus, if I can get a battery elsewhere, does the front seat have to come out to get this one out? We've tried to get it out through the gap but so far it hasn't budged.
Other than that, just waiting for summer!
Thanks, Corrine
