Hello all,
I am working up courage to swap split charge relay with a Victron DCtoDC and Ablemail 12-2.
I only currently have a 75 sized leisure battery. So was thinking of changing that too for a bigger capacity.
This is all under driver seat (impacted by diesel heater dusting).
I have...

RENOGY IP67 50A DC-DC Battery Charger with MPPT

I collected my 2017 T6 from the converters the other day & there are a few issues with the leisure battery setup. I knew it was a basic setup using a PMS3 & Dc-Dc charger but it suits my needs at least for now as I’ll mostly be using EHU
main issues are the Victron Orion Dc/Dc charger doesn’t...
Recently successfully installed a Victron MPPT and SmartShunt under my drivers seat with a bit of help from the forum and the next thing in my sights once all that is properly mounted is to think about changing the VSR for a DC-DC charger to enable a later upgrade from a Lead Acid battery and to...
Hi all.
Just looking to purchase a Flexi solar panel from eBay for my renogy 50 dctodc , apparently mine is a new version, which supports better solar input.
Can anyone suggest if there will be an issue with me fitting the 200w panel
Hello everyone!
Just wondering how to go about adding an inverter to our T6.
Current setup has Victron Orion tr-smart DC/DC converter and a solar charge controller connected to leisure battery, usual EHU connected to fused consumer unit with Sargent PF200 switching Battery Charger and two...
Hi guys, I’m just wiring in my victron tr smart dctodc charger in my 2017 transporter.
I’m happy with all the wiring apart from the green L/H terminal. It comes bridged in the box , I’m sure I have seen somewhere people taking the bridge out and wiring it to the fuse box …… do I just leave it...
Just wondering how many people have a solar power isolation switch fitted to their system?
Something like this:

Also was your system self fit or not?
Trying to decide whether to fit on or not?
I have a renogy 50ah lithium battery that is not accepting a charge. I have spent a lot of time (frustrating hours) on webchat with Renogy. They are now suggesting that I buy a Lithium charger with re-activation capability. They have one on their website but they asking £129 for it!.
I spent...
Hi, I am new to this forum, I own a 2018 Multivan and am trying to install a second battery, I have one peice to go which is connecting/wiring up my Redarc DC charger to the ignition fuse.
Simple right! I have a fuse jumper and run the wire into the internal fuse location. But the ignition...
Yes, sort of.
The starter battery will slowly rise from the 5A charger.
At some point the dc-dc may kick in. But at a lower power level. Not 50A.
That will cause the SB to drop and switch off the dc-dc.
So you will see the charger cycling....
Ultimately both batterys will get a charge.
- yes that is what happens.
.
- the 50A charge rate depends on the voltage difference between the SB and the LB, a small 5A charger won't get the starter to 14.2v,.... It will be a very gradual rise in voltage..
So that will slow the cycling down.
In my testing I needed to ramp up the...
This Ctek D250SA DC / DC charger (with built in MPPT Solar Controller) was removed from my van when I upgraded to a Renogy LifePo4 battery last year. It was installed for three years before I swapped it with the very similar (but Lithium compatible) D250SE. It's in full working order with no...
So the DC monitors the SB volts and see's 14.5 or whatever when the SB is being charged via the mains and kicks in.
Are you saying when the DC fires up there will be volatge drop on the SB so the DC will then power off, then on again when the SB is back at 14.5v and off and on and so on...
I've wondered about that myself. So I stick a 5amp charger on the battery and (if) that kicks up the voltage enough to trigger the 50amp DC-DC will I not be depleting the starter battery until the leisure battery is full?
DC-DC chargers are more powerful, so need direct connections to the batterys. . .
a dc-dc will charge the leisure battery when the engine is running, (starter is also charged when engine running)
but I've done it using quick disconnects - ie SB50 Anderson connectors...
