Hi, Is there such as a thing as a solar panel charger do I can charge through the cig lighter or obd port? No access to electric

Yes original battery now about 18 months old. I don't yet have a charger for the starter battery and was hoping to get by till an offer appears.

Shouldn’t be an issue as AGM is actually a type of Lead Acid battery anyway. Just make sure the AGM battery is a leisure type not a starter battery

...know about the DC-DC charger, perhaps the conversion company fitted something like this, I'll have to check. I have an ehu cable and intend putting the van on hook up overnight before I leave to help with topping up the leisure battery but I don't think this will help with the starter battery.

My starter battery (SB) is 3 months old; my leisure battery (LB) is less than 12 months old. Using a multimeter, the readings are as follows: SB voltage with engine off: 12.85 SB voltage with engine running: 14.15 LB voltage with engine off: 12.43 LB voltage with engine running: 12.43 Leisure...

...I am also looking into the 'Ablemail' reverse charger.. This is to help offset the power drain I see from the BM6 attached to the starter battery. I have a Thinkware U3000 dash cam with rear camera, Meta-Trak tracker and immobiliser. These all run from the starter battery as a 24hr...

Shouldn't be fitted to the negative terminal

...I guess connect that directly to the leisure battery, then when the leisure battery is full the renogy will divert current to the starter battery? Or will a lifepo4 charger shut off once the lithium battery is full? I'm not on ehu often so don't want to spend a lot of money on a charger...

...sockets etc. I see most people mount the battery under the drivers seat. Is there a main reason for this? We’ve got a captain seat up front, and I’m looking at the possible routings for cabling. The simplest route from the starter battery would appear to place under the passenger seat? Thanks!

The overnight drop will be the surface charge dissipating from the batteries. Leave them alone for a couple of days & then see what they’re reading.

The Victron DC-DC has just one job - charge the leisure battery from the starter battery/alternator. The Ablemail AMT12-2 takes a small amount of charge from the leisure battery (either constantly or only when it's receiving a charge from solar) to keep the starter battery topped up and at a...

I could be wrong ( I usually am) but why do you need the dc-dc charger? I believe you connect the starter battery to the MPPT along with the solar?? kc

...found that the two sockets in the cab are fed from the leisure battery. This means that with a T6.1 you’ll have to connect to the starter battery under the bonnet or pick up the feed to the Split Charge Relay under the passenger seat. If you’ve got a factory-fitted tow bar, trying to charge...
