Hello
Although iv read so many posts on all the leisure electrics set ups, my mind has “frozen” trying to work out what gear I need to order. So far, I’ve chosen a Roamer 160ah lithium battery,, to be fitted under passenger swivel.
Hopefully some other Victron kit can fit in with this battery...
Yeh. But it depends on your power source running the inverter.
Have you got enough power to run the inverter for the time needed?
We run a Roamer 230ah lithium battery, on a Renogy 1000w inverter, and recharge from a 50A Renogy dc-dc charger, and have 400w mobile solar during summer.
Recently upgraded my leisure battery to lithium with a Renogy 1000w inverter with UPS function. Installed under the passenger seat and using an existing shunt monitor. Working great, huge improvement over the previous AGM battery. All was well in the world until I saw this which I didn’t need as...
NOCO - GB150 Boost PRO 3000A UltraSafe Lithium Jump Starter
Plus NOCO GB150 (storage/carry) official case.
VGC - as new basically. - been well looked after.
less that 10 charge cycles. (we had a few to play with)
this will jumpstart just about anything 12v,
can be used as:

Best thing we ever did was get rid of AGM and install a 180ah lithium battery and 30A DC-DC charger. The VitriFrigo fridge / freezer works a treat as does everything else on the battery including ALL our 240volt (on inverter) stuff. Cannot remember last time we used EHU as park up use...
did the same search 50w panel was the smallest but the parking spot for the van does not get full sun and we are in a bit of a valley so may not get much charge . up to now i have tried -- i have a small 300w inverter and set my charger to slow and have charged starter battery from the leisure...
ok thanks I won’t bother with the 2000w inverter. It will be too much for the occasional use it would get.
So I’m looking to get the biggest lithium battery I can afford,
Replace the split charge with a B2B charger,
And upgrade the solar charger to MPPT
The Sargent is used for my fuses as well...
upgrade the Leisure battery to a Lifepo4 . .
they have much better voltage performance and rest at 13.6v.

My tv works on both 12v and 240 on EHU.
So the inverter would only give me power to plug external things into?
Which would still be really handy. So would still be nice to have and install when I’m upgrading everything else. I could take my ps5 away :D
So what are the main components that I...
The last few days I’ve updated the electrics in our van, installed a second 100 ah lithium battery, bus bars, remote controlled 1500 watt inverter, fused all positive leads and a battery isolation switch.
I’ve also paneled the sides of our van king bed and covered with stretch carpet.
Im waiting...
Clearing out the garage and have the below surplus to requirements, I'm just outside Aberdeen but all parts can be delivered.

Used, removed and replaced with a renogy combined dc-dc/mppt charger to add solar. A compact dc-dc chrger that worked well and...
I would deffo be running the engine while charging that box at 1500w.... Using the 2000w inverter on the van.
That way you are using diesel energy to charge your box, but also not killing your leisure battery at the same time.
Id imaging your battery box has an app that allows you too change...
In this video at about 3:40 Greg goes through how to calculate the size of battery you'll need.
If you haven't already done it, you'll need to know what you want to power, how long you want to power it for and how much juice each item will use. Will you be off grid for weeks or using EHU every...
In the first instance I could see something like a repurposed EV battery working in an off grid garden office with solar and the battery configured to output normal mains voltage to allow for conventional electrical accessories and appliances on the inverter output and thinner cables from the...
It all depends on how clever the battery is. Some batteries have all the magicary built in, so they monitor their own State Of Charge (SOC) and you read this via an app & Bluetooth. Other batteries are dumb & need managing externally via a 3rd party device, e.g. a shunt. So the answer is… it...
Hi @Dellmassive
i have a 120ah agm battery that's charged by a victron dc-dc and a 175w renogy panel on the roof with victron mppt.
I mostly use this to run typical camper power vitrifrigo fridge, led lights and phone charging.
I want to add an inverter, mostly for low wattage use to start...
I'm looking to install an EHU hookup point under the bonnet next to the starter battery, very similar to @Deaky solution earlier in this thread.
My plan would be to also install a 3 pin hookup plug and ip67 rated consumer unit under the bonnet, then run a single cable through the existing...
