Leisure & Starter Battery Help, Attleborough | van jumpstart
Attleborough motorhome callouts — split charge relays, leisure banks and starter batteries diagnosed on-site. Van Jumpstart, 24/7.
Split charge systems add a third variable. If the relay or DC-DC charger has failed, the leisure bank stops being replenished while driving, and the first sign is usually a fridge that dies overnight.
A dead Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro or Crafter on a CV11 driveway usually isn't a garage job. A proper mobile jumpstart with a 2000A+ pack gets you running in minutes without a recovery truck.
We cover the CV11 area regularly for trade customers running Ford Transits, Mercedes Sprinters, VW Transporters, Vauxhall Vivaros, Renault Trafics and Peugeot Boxers.
Storage, standing and split charging
Around Attleborough these callouts come from driveways and storage compounds where vehicles sit between trips, especially over winter.
Locally that means the streets between Attleborough and Nuneaton, with access via M6 J3 and A5 and a practical radius reaching Nuneaton (~1 mi) and Bedworth (~4 mi).
Testing two systems properly
- Split charge relays and DC-DC chargers are checked for output while the engine runs.
- Starter and leisure banks are tested independently, because a healthy engine battery tells you nothing about the habitation side.
- Heavy-duty 2000A+ lithium jump pack rated for diesel commercials up to 7.5t
- On a van jumpstart the equipment is matched to the vehicle — cranking current, terminal layout and battery location all change the approach.

Owners we help
Owners of converted vans with self-installed leisure systems that have stopped charging.
Domestically, Victorian terraces and modern estates dominate around here, which shapes how these jobs are accessed and worked.

Recent job nearby: a converted campervan off M6 J3 where a self-installed DC-DC charger was wired to a switched live and only worked with the ignition on.

Motorhome battery questions
Q.My engine starts but the fridge and lights are dead. Which battery is it?
The leisure bank, or the split charge system that feeds it. The starter battery is clearly fine if the engine turns over.
Q.Can I use a starter battery as a leisure battery?
Not sensibly. Starter batteries hate deep discharge and will fail quickly in a habitation role; leisure batteries are built for exactly that cycling.
Q.Do you attend storage compounds?
Yes, provided you can arrange access. Tell us the gate arrangements when you book so the visit is not wasted.
Q.Do you cover Attleborough and the CV11 area for this?
Yes. Attleborough is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J3, roughly 1 miles from Nuneaton. We cover it alongside Nuneaton and the surrounding streets.
Q.Do I need to register a new van battery to the ECU?
On Sprinters, Crafters, T6 Transporters and newer Custom Transits — yes. We carry the OBD tool and code it as part of the fit.
Q.What if the van battery keeps going flat every week?
That's parasitic drain — usually a dashcam, tracker or aftermarket electrics wired to permanent live. We do a milliamp draw test and identify the circuit.
Where we attend
Attleborough sits about 1 miles from Nuneaton, and the same van covers Nuneaton (~1 mi), Bedworth (~4 mi) and Bulkington (~4 mi) on the same run.

Two battery systems, one visit
Starter and leisure banks tested independently at your Attleborough address or storage site. Van Jumpstart covers Victorian terraces and modern estates and trade vehicles alike, all from the same van.
The short version
Leisure vehicles fail in two different ways and the symptoms overlap. Testing both banks and the charging link in Attleborough separates them in one visit. For van jumpstart specifically, that means alternator output tested at idle and at 2000 rpm before we leave, so we know the recharge will actually work
