@Richard85 I’ve just done similar with the same battery and DC-DC but with a few extra bit. Things to note: The battery will need to go on its side under the seat. It is very tight to get the DC-DC in there too and also give it room for ventilation. Do you have a seat swivel? If so that may...

Sorry I was on circumference estimate

I’d have a think of what power you need and your usage as it’s all too easy to get carried away and have kit that is massive overkill. The 18a Orion is absolutely fine for a 105ah battery. The XS is clearly more powerful so would charge much faster (but you would need to reduce its output to 30a...

For DC-DC chargers @Dellmassive has tried most of them and there is a lot of information on this thread - worth a cup of coffee/tea and going through: https://www.t6forum.com/threads/guide-dc-dc-charger-for-leisure-battery-how-i-done-it.15066/page-24#post-598181 I'd start by looking at the...

One drawback is you will also need to fit a DC-DC charger to replace your split charger (assuming my memory from earlier in the thread is correct!) and you may need to replace some cabling depending on what you have already and what the new DC-DC needs. Otherwise it’s an awesome upgrade and...

Afternoon all. Just looking on 12V Planet and seen this: Seems that maybe the high heat at full capacity may have been addressed looking at the details.

I'm running the Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger on both vans now.. (with the 230ah seat base battery) I normally set the current limiter to 30A to keep the temps down. Last week though we had a long camping trip and run the battery flat, well down to 6%. And had a 2.5hr drive to the next...

Hi, I do not, I have the Victron Orion DC to DC charger that I use as the B2B to charge my leisure battery from the alternator. The Sterling battery maintainer is used as a B2B from the Leisure battery to the Starter battery. The new Sterling B2B look good, because all my other kit is Victron...

Note that you don't need the isolated version in a van as it's fine to use the body as a common ground, the isolated versions are for more marine environments (where currents in a metal hull will cause galvanic corrosion) or coach-built vans. The isolated will be fine with both grounds on the...

I am something of a newbie; I have an Victron Orion 30A DC charger and lifepo4 battery. The van is a daily driver but the leisure battery will only be needed about once every month for a weekend away. Do I need to put the DC charger into storage mode for the weeks that I will not be in need of...

So the EC155 is an all in one 12v and 240v supply. It has the 240v incoming socket connected to it, the RCD and the circuit breakers to feed the 240v sockets in your van. It also has a 12v distribution board and fuses. Those are the relays that are being controlled by your control panel when...

Mine isn't the neatest install but you'd be amazed what you can fit, with a bit of planning... Fogstar 230Ah LiFePO4 battery Orion XS 50a DC-DC 100/20 MPPT Smart shunt Cerbo GX 2x fuse boxes 2x isolator switches That's all under the passenger seat. Under my driver's seat is the 15a 240v...

Evening all, Completely new to converting a van, so just wanted to ask a few questions please. I'm converting my T6 van and looking at the forums and online shops I'm leaning towards the victron setup. The main thing I would like to have is the battery sited mid/end van, rather than under the...

Right OK - I understand now cheers, will get another fuse ordered. I may upgrade to the 50a one day but for now I'll stick with the 30a - what i hoped was going to be a relatively cheap project has already spiraled, I cant make it worse! Yes my loads are very small however just want the...

It’s a very simple job as long as there is enough play in the existing cables. I’d say have a go yourself which will help you understand your electrics. You would only need a couple of cheap tools (crimper and cutter) if you go with the Victron as that takes bare cable ends. Just cut off the...

Got an example? I use 50A Anderson conections, but that's just me for swapping kit in and out for testing. Most kit is hardwired in for a permanent connection

What do I think? I think for another £20 I’d get the tried & trusted Orion, that’s what I think. Victron Orion Smart 30A 12V DC to DC charger with Bluetooth connectivity https://amzn.eu/d/9D9fyxF

As big a fan as I am of Victron kit, do you really need the Lynx, Cerbo, Smart shunt, battery protect, GX touch etc. If the Roamer has Bluetooth & a half decent BMS, all these things can be monitored & performed by the built in BMS. All the other gubbins might be handy in a multi battery...

I hadn't seen that Sterling one before - that vibration sensing idea seems pretty clever in theory, if they've nailed the implementation it would probably be more accurate than an ignition feed, although the D+ is obviously the ideal solution. The bidirectional feature seems like a good idea to...

I use the Renogy dc50s for dc-dc charging, with a lithium. (, With the app) And even though it does solar, that splits the power 50/50 when you add a solar connection. I use a seperate Victron mppt. As they are the best when used with the app. I had the Orion, but sold it on, preferring to...
