    Seat Base Electric + EHU + Solar Install + Charger + DC-DC -- How We Done it --

    Bags of room there!:thumbsup: Be aware of the currents involved with the various bits of kit and cable sizes required. Under my driver's seat I've got a Renogy DCC50S for the b2b and mppt combined, a small fuse board for the fridge and Webasto, bigger fuses for the battery the inverter (mounted...

    Planning electrics - location of all the parts - specifically inverters

    simple golden rules, (not scientific, but good fag packet maths thats easy to grasp) +++ 100ah worth of battery capacity for every 1000w of inverter power, 100A worth of current draw per 1000W of inverter power draw over spec the the inverter power by 25-50% for a long life expectancy. my...

    L/Battery - go large or go lithium?

    Hello all, I am working up courage to swap split charge relay with a Victron DC to DC 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...

    Trying for a gas free conversion.

    it can be done, but it will cost you. as above portable battery packs are no good - recharge times are too slow off grid. ++ you need twin lithium's 100ah+100ah + 2/3kw inverter + 50A dc-dc charger + cable and install, then the extras, EHU charger, solar system. then the cooking bit...

    Van electrics upgrade - Shopping list sense check?

    sounds like a good plan, and glad the threads have helped - Dellmassive’s "How I Done It" blogs. ++++++++++++ the Renogy 1kw inverter is a good solid unit, i use it myself in the work van, the UPS pass through is limited in its capacity, and you need to cautions when connecting up with...

    victron pheonix 1200 or Renology 1000w?

    The recommendation is 100ah of lithium per 1000w inverter. So that means 200ah for the 2000w. The reasons are two fold... Usually the max discharge rate of a 100ah lithium is 100A, so you would need two battery's to provide 100-200A. The second reason is run time... When pulling large loads...

    Lithium LifePo4 12v Batteries - Time For An Upgrade?

    I do wonder if we will see separation in lithium based batteries at some point to have ones that are capable of the massive currents but also some that are a little less enthusiastic and maybe a little safer for more leisure power supply roles? With the notable exception of those wanting to run...

    EHU + Inverter Through Same Sockets

    300W inverter, 110ah AGM, 160W solar and only running light loads like a laptop charger or hair straighteners on occasion.

    Newbie battery charger questions

    The stories you hear about lithium battery fires are largely Lithium-ion batteries such as those used in scooters, vapes etc. A decent lithium leisure battery will be a LiFePO4 which is a far more stable and safer technology. Definitely worth reading up on the difference to allay your worries...

    Batteries and inverter query

    ok, so it may make more sense for me to have a thicker cable go from starter battery to rear wheel-arch area in unit so that everything else is close together. that way i can get one lithium now and have space to add additional lithium down the line if needed. i best research how much cable i...

    What Have You Bought Today?

    nice. . . . we`ll be needing a build thread on that. 1000ah of lithium, now thats got me thinking. . . . . . . 10x100`s?, 2x400`s + 2x100`s?, 4x 230`s. hmm? plus a Victron Multiplus 3Kva 12v/120. but space,space,space.. . . thats always the compromise in a T6. next upgrade - Crafter lol...

    Adding solar to existing set up?

    Just to give some perspective. We have an all singing all dancing setup. Lithium/solar/EHU/inverter yada yada! Since the electric kettle died, we hardly use EHU (just done 10 days in Scotland off grid) the solar/Lithium/gas takes care of all our needs. OK, so you may have to alter your habits a...

    Help if pos, smart charge issues for my circumstances..

    You cant swap out the smart alternator for dumb unfortunately. (Most T6 alternators are 140A or 180A) Look at upgrading the 20A CTEK to a 50A Renogy DC-DC charger. (There are also 60A DC-DC available now.) Also look at swapping out the AGM for a 100Ah lithium, or even two. Or look at the...

    310W permanent solar on a 22MY T6.1 Ocean

    One or two things I have noticed on this thread.. In your first post you said Victron suggested their 20A charger, I suspect this was because your original plan was to use AGM batteries, Victron have been correct in limiting the charge current to AGM's as they don't take well to high current...

    Help setting up a Victron 50 dc to dc charger

    make sure your cables are fat enough to run 50A. post a pic of the cables and the fuse holders, and any writing on the cable to the starter battery etc.

    Battery Ah size recommendations

    Same usage as me and mine will run indefinitely in summer even with only overcast daylight (105ah Fogstar Drift battery and 200w panel). Worst case in winter with little/no solar and a couple of hours heater per night I’ll still get 3-4 days off-grid. Do double check that the wiring and fuses...

    victron pheonix 1200 or Renology 1000w?

    startup surge could be double. @czmate1999 runs a small microwave. i think runs twin 100ah lithiums and a 2000w inverter. @czmate1999 - whats size inverter is yours?

    [Guide] 12v/240v Power Inverters -- How I Done It --

    Cheers brother ill get one ordered now. We have shore power in the van also so the inverter will give us a bit more flexibility when off grid and when I eventually upgrade the battery i may let the wife dry her hair!

    Upgraded Lithium leisure battery - update

    Had a similar experience with mine when I found the existing system fitted by a so called professional conversion company (now gone bust!) was not suitable for the van and wasn’t lithium capable. I changed pretty much all of it and fitted solar and relocated the battery and chargers to under the...
