Second the AMT-12 if you already have solar fitted on the leisure side. For direct maintenance I believe 50mA is the threshold for a fault code for the van's ECUs drawing too much current when fully asleep, so using that as a worst case that's potentially 1.2Ah (24 x 0.05) of capacity from the...

Thank you

hi Spuds ,do agree with you but i am a lover of minimalistic approach to camping and seem to be fighting the system VW have used just to keep the lights on , on this forum keep seeing people complaining on running flat the starter after just gong in and out of the van on a parkup . as you say...

Fitting an AMT 12-2 isn't too far into the complex electronics - if you can find your DC-DC charger (I assume CamperKings have them and not some split charge relay...) then that will generally have access to all the wiring you need to get to. Some pics and plenty of folks will likely advise...

Paul I'll go down the AMT 12-2 root As advised. I'll have a look around see if electric expert can install one for me. I wish you lived in my area i would just blow myself up. Sorry if i came over as dumb I have 50+years Engineering background in oil and gas industry but these fancy...

...The big fuses in my plan I presume are redundant as I am going to reuse the in situ wire and simply reduce fuses down to 50. The thin gauge wire and all small bits I presume are for the Amt 12-2. So my question is….what is the two thick red wires and one thing black wire with ring terminals...

Yes, the Ablemail seems a very well regarded product on the forum, which makes me question why my converter is trying to push me down the route of a Balmar Digital Duo Charge. The Balmar is almost x3 the cost (...perhaps I've just answered my own question! :rolleyes:)

Rather than split charge only on the Solar consider using the Ablemail AMT 12-2 if you can, then your starter will trickle charge whatever the source of charge for your leisure...

Literally what I was about to mention. If you did want to trickle charge the starter battery, you might want to look at an Ablemail AMT12-2. That'll have the benefit of constantly topping up the SB rather than just when you're on EHU.

^^^^^ This :thumbsup: A 95ah Exide AGM will fit the battery compartment. Add a BM2 monitor & an AMT 12 maintainer. Job done.

Ordered (does this get installed near leisure or near starter?)

Oh, I think the red wires are for use with the fuses, got that. (So redundant in my (your) plan). But the extra black?

Possibly, but I‘d like to utilise the CTEK for the time being to maintain the starter battery until I can get round to installing a 200w solar panel and a Renogy DC-DC + MPPT charge controller. I’ll probably use a piggy back fuse connector under the seat with a CTEK direct connector adapter and...

Looks a good solution, there’s also the Ablemail AMT-12 to consider. I have one fitted. Does what it says on the tin. https://www.t6forum.com/search/1198941/?q=AMT+12&o=relevance

...a new 16mm2 cable from starter battery to the rear wardrobe. Plan tomorrow is to fit a new Fogstar lithium battery, Victron DC-DC, Ablemail AMT 12-2 and busbars, fuses, isolator etc. I’m going to keep the CBE DS300 as a fuse board for now, bypassing its split charger, and also keep the CBE...

I have had an Ablemail AMT 12-2 fitted for over a year now and had no low voltage problems since.

...up your starter from solar - and only once the LB is "full enough" It's likely to be about as much effort sorting the wiring out as adding an AMT 12-2 but that has the advantage of topping up from any source that charges the LB not just one of them. To clarify the "could work" my suspicion...

Just had another look. My Ablemail AMT 12-2 does not seem to be charging the starter :(

...It got sent back to the Amazon after a week for a refund. A new Bosch battery was installed and a couple of weeks ago i wired in an Ablemail AMT 12-2 which throws a small current from the Leisure battery into the starter battery when the starter falls below 12.4 Volts. In theory I should...

Hello, Don’t wish to derail thread but quick query. I have the dreaded SCR rather than DC to DC. Would Ablemail 12-2 help in this instance. Two Solar panels wired into rear cupboard seems to keep fridge etc going. (Much help in solar was gleaned from this forum prior).
