Search results for query: charging leisure battery from EHU

I've actually just done this. Added in a fogstar 20a charger. This sits under the drivers seat. Ran a extension cable to the back where I have a 240 from my mains hookup and my jackary 1000 so I can do a quick top up from either if I need a bit of fast charge.

- why is that? and from what charge source? solar will charge the LB 24/7 EHU IP22 will charge the LB 24/7 Orion will charge when engine running. alternator will charge the starter battery. unless. . . . . you connect the EHU IP22 to the STARTER battery. . . . then when the starter...

So the Victron charger isn't the charger that works from the EHU/240v - that one is built into the Sargent unit. The Victron Orion is your DC-DC charger that chargers your leisure battery from the van - you can tell this as it's currently telling you it's not charging as the input voltage isn't...

The two sockets on the dash are powered off the leisure battery, but I suspect your right with respect to the power transfer between the starter battery and leisure is voltage dependent, not if the engine is running. But I have confirmed the EHU doesn't charge the starter battery.

thank you so much. its much clear now. Just one doubt, so in case of adding a new battery, Will I need to buy a charger right? (the same I have now for the current battery. Any DC-DC recomendation: 12V, EHU and Solar input? in a future I want ro add solar panels as well.

Thank you Chris. One last question.. online I read that 12.1 was virtually flat. How do I know if the battery is nearly flat when the reading is already so low?

yes, looking back to the original sketch here : Dellmassive`s Camper Van Adventure ill have a quick disconnect on the starter battery , and the leisure battery. so ill be able to connect to either just by plugging it in. i have a few Victron IP22 & IP65 chargers that i can use, but...

If none of your chargers are working then how is your battery fully charged? How are you checking that each individual charger is working or not and the battery is fully charged - I don't disbelieve you but if we know the exact tests done it might give some more clues. In particular how are...

All that will happen with a normal EHU set up is that the hook up charges the battery, and the battery supplies the fridge, lights etc as normal. So when you're on hookup, you will technically be running everything off the hookup even though it it's all running via the battery. If you've got a...

1) If the leisure battery is isolated from loads it shouldn't discharge significantly - if you left everything on (especially a fridge) then it will 2) yes dropping below 50% charge damages lead acid very quickly for starter batteries and quickly for leisure 3) plenty of advice via search...

Hello All, We have just recently purchased our first newly converted T6 Van and honestly we have no idea how any of it works :slow rofl: Would anyone be able to look at the below images of our setup and try and explain what we need to know about the whole electrical system I think that I...

Are you sure the 70aH doesn't refer to the vehicle (starter) battery? It would make sense from your quoted voltages. EDIT: The Westfalia website currently says "Battery 95aH" which would confirm this. So, the real question is why your leisure battery is dropping to 11.4v, and why it...

Hi everyone, Frank here from Norwich. I bought a lovely second-hand T6 (2017 plate) and was wondering how I could use my Jackery power station to keep the starter battery topped up? Sadly, my van has to live outside since we don't have a garage or other undercover parking opportunity. Last...

I'm not sure the dc160 charges both battery's when on EHU. I've got the vechicle dab with speakers around the back. A bit concerned it will drain the vechicle battery if not charging?

Check the listed output figures. 4A at 240v is 960W, which would give a charge rate greater than 1C for your 625Wh battery. 4W is probably the 110v rate - most chargers work on anything from 110v to 240v. The output figures will be a better guide - something like 8A at 40V. That would tell us...

I've got a spare ctek charger so just going to use that the next time i lay the van up! Didnt plan on leaving it parked up for so long but life happens. I've got RAC cover, did think about using it but also thought i could just keep topping it up on the drive home. Heading home tomorrow so maybe...

Rather unscientific, but I topped up the starter battery this morning. Before I started, I checked the leisure battery voltage, gauge showing 12.3v Plugged in the Noco Genius 5, voltage in both cab sockets went to 14.2v Left the charger running until it showed fully charged, cab sockets...

I'm sure you are aware of the setup of some of the forum members, but some have a battery charger connected straight off the EHU to charge the vehicle battery. This then via a DC to DC charger tops up the leisure battery. If you add in a solar panel, there are three ways of charging up the...

Hi All, I’m hoping someone may be able to help. I’m currently driving through Spain with my family on our first major trip in our van. All has been going fine, we’ve stayed at a couple of campsites and connected the electric successfully. We discovered the box in the first image and found...

I will get some images for you and post back here.
