Motorhome & Campervan Battery Replacement in Coundon
Coundon motorhome callouts — split charge relays, leisure banks and starter batteries diagnosed on-site. Battery Replacement, 24/7.
Leisure vehicles have two electrical worlds that people routinely confuse. The starter battery turns the engine; the leisure bank runs the fridge, lights and water pump. A fault in one produces symptoms that look like the other.
Battery gone in Coundon? Rather than driving to a fitting bay and queuing, we come to the vehicle — driveway, workplace car park, or roadside on the M6 J2/J3 corridor.
A properly registered AGM battery in a BMW, Audi or VW will last 6–8 years. A flooded battery dropped in without coding, in the same car, will fail in under 2.

Storage, standing and split charging
Access matters with larger vehicles — we plan for restricted CV6 streets and compound gates before setting off.
Locally that means the streets between Coundon and Coventry, with access via M6 J2/J3 and M69 and a practical radius reaching Coventry (~2 mi) and Nuneaton (~9 mi).
Testing two systems properly
- Where the vehicle is going back into storage, solar and maintenance charging options are discussed.
- Leisure batteries are deep-cycle by design and are tested on a cyclic profile rather than a cranking profile.
- Memory saver used during change so radio codes, seat memories and ECU adaptations are preserved
- Battery Replacement work here is judged against the vehicle's own specification rather than a generic pass mark.

Owners we help
Motorhome and campervan owners across Coundon preparing for a trip or returning from storage.
Domestically, 1930s semis and modern estates dominate around here, which shapes how these jobs are accessed and worked.
Why this is safe to book
- Both electrical systems tested and reported separately, so the actual fault is clear.
- Old batteries removed and recycled on every battery replacement.
Recent leisure vehicle jobs
Recent job nearby: a motorhome in Coundon with a perfect starter battery and a leisure bank at 9V. Split charge relay had failed — habitation side was never charging on the move.
Recent job nearby: a converted campervan off M6 J2/J3 where a self-installed DC-DC charger was wired to a switched live and only worked with the ignition on.
Where we attend
As a neighbourhood of Coventry, Coundon is covered alongside its parent town, so a motorhome and leisure vehicles call from any of them routes to the same engineer.
Getting ready for a trip?
Have both banks and the split charge system checked before you set off rather than at a campsite. Tell us the vehicle and the symptom and you will get a firm price before anyone sets off.
Motorhome battery questions
Q.What do you do with my old battery?
It goes back to a licensed recycler. Around 99% of a lead-acid battery is recyclable. No landfill, and we don't charge for disposal.
Q.What's the difference between AGM and EFB?
AGM is a fully sealed absorbed-glass-mat battery for premium and stop-start; EFB is an enhanced flooded battery for entry-level stop-start. Fitting the wrong one is a warranty-void job.
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 Coundon and the CV6 area for this?
Yes. Coundon is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J2/J3, roughly 2 miles from Coventry. We cover it alongside Coventry and the surrounding streets.

The short version
Starter, leisure and split charge — check all three and a motorhome electrical fault stops being a mystery. That is the whole job: diagnose it properly, fix it once, and explain what caused it.
