Leisure battery change

[Dominiek]

I have to change the leisure battery on my 2017 ocean. I notice there is a cable going in to the battery. How do i remove it? What is the purpase of it?

It looks like a vent pipe to me going into the top of the battery. To take any gasses from the battery outside the vehicle.

If it is, then the pipe should just pull off and push back onto the replacement battery.

Why are you changing just 1 battery?
The Ocean has 2 Leisure Batteries and both should be changed otherwise you will shorten the lifespan of the new battery.

Why are you changing the battery?
Have you checked the voltage of both batteries?
Have you checked if the 75/100amp cube fuse on the rear Leisure Battery has blown?

They should last much longer that that. I still have the originals in my 2012 van but they are showing signs of age.

Just checked the battery under driverseat, had 12,6 V . Then i checked the fuses, nothing broken there... Then i looked into the control panel, it wass showing a flikkering G symbol, went into display settings , returnedd to normal display and the problem is solved! Now the displays says 100% and with the engine running charging 5 amps.
I don't know how but i'm happy!
Thanks to all helping thinking!
