Help!

[Toni lloyd]

Hi there, I'm looking to buy a starter battery (engine compartment not leisure) for my peugeot boxer harmony motorhome 2.0L petrol 1996 swb but am having trouble as I've been told its not the same as a standard boxer van as it needs to power the leisure battery as well but online keeps coming up with 019 battery which is for a standard van, I've tried getting help from halfords but they haven't got a clue eithercan anyone help please

Have you got a separate leisure battery in the vehicle?

It's almost 8 years since you joined, time to become a full member and have access to stuff?

Yes a new one

The 019 will be 100% ok for starter batt, it has nothing to do with the hab battery and should not be linked direct.

Try Tanya for a battery rather than halfords.

In halfrods yester day just for a look, way over priced my miles, would stay well clear.

Have a look inside the glove compartment. This is an Auto-sleeper, so there should be a unique build number for your van somewhere inside there?

Register with the Auto-sleeper parts website and they may well be able to help you identify the engine battery required, but first you will need to give them this build number. They have a database for every camper/moho they have built which they use to identify replacement parts etc. - this should include details on the type of starter battery used for your specific van, especially if it is used to charge the leisure battery. It’s a free service.

The altanator charges the les battery via a relay posably either linked to starter battery or direct, once van switched of any link is disconected, it in no way maters which size or starter battery used, but 019 very common for deisels, thats whats in my iveco 2,8 turbo.
If it fits the tray then ok, price trade £60/80, always go to trade outlets in overhauls and dirty hands.
