Even with Lithium, running heavy 240V loads is wishful thinking. People think that Lithium is a magic pill for all their off grid needs, but unless you have a LOT of lithium, it isn’t. Lithium is just another storage medium, it’s a reservoir of power & it’s only as good as the source(s) that...

well, . . . . . my main usage is 240vac when camping . . . (from the LPS) kettle, coffee machine, hair dryer, twin fridges, disco lights and fairy lights twinkly lights so the clayton will be running 240v mains, that will drain the internal battery fairly quickly. . . . so i need the extra...

Can't see what your current battery size is, but let me demonstrate - I had a factory fit 75Ah AGM with split charge, so 22.5Ah usable capacity (from 80% down to 50% state of charge). Parked up at a site, with no solar or hook up, from 4pm to 4pm the next day, my fridge and lights used 29Ah, so...

:thumbsup: Got it. Possibly because whichever battery it’s connected to hasn’t got enough power. The light may come on but not enough power to produce 240v. Get both batteries fully charged and see if it works. Whatever the outcome the inverter needs to be powered by the leisure battery rather...

Thing is for most of the things I look around our van (admittedly we are more day van than camper) and it has what we need; lights, USB sockets, 12v sockets, radio... The reason we don't use these is because of the risk of not being able to start the van. One way to solve that is to fit an...

I used a company near Huntingdon, might be too far for you?

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...

Ok, the good news is that that's a very reasonable and very typical kind of requirement, you're likely not going to need anything crazy. In fact, it's extremely close to my own scenario. For what it's worth, I still have the 75Ah factory fit leisure AGM along with a 20A DC-DC (might be 30A?)...

more bits inbound thanks to 12v Planet + Screwfix. thinking of going with the external EHU IN under the bonnet by the battery . . . got some 2.5mm 20A Arctic blue cables for the runs. . . a two way CU . . . . ( the red lamp show incoming reverse polarity L/N apparently) which...

On the other hand as the vast majority of folks don't need it it's extra cost, extra space, extra wiring and something else to go wrong. Those people that do want to do it tend to arrange for the charge to come from places other than EHU as it suits them off grid. 95% of Transporters on the...

Yes, that makes sense then. I get the appeal of the one box solution, even though you are adding to it to get the extra power bank. Still, in my setup I'd effectively lose a cupboard to fit the LPS in and as usual cupboard storage is at a premium. The separate components route is more...

I am Nottingham based and converted my 2020 plate t6.1 DM me for phone number if you want to talk stuff over. Hi, I'm in Nottingham(Cotgrave). I bought a panel van and converted it partly myself and partly by 2 converters based in Derby(Cosmic Campervans & Camperworx).Feel free to DM for my...

Hi all, I've bought an EHU kit from Rayne Automotive, complete with a 2-way double pole consumer unit with a 40A 30ma RCD, and an 8A battery charger (picture below), which I intend to leave permanently connected to the vehicle starter battery. After reading this thread (and the linked thread...

So the question really is do you want to run extreme 240v loads such as a cooker or a heater. Because if you are trying to keep a lid on the budget then given a mid range DC-DC core system you could probably spend the same amount of money on a decent EHU setup + charger OR expand your core...

so whatelse for 2024 . . . . ? not ours, but it come in very handy . . . 2024 IN : AIR FRYER yep, that happened. Chunky Chip Shop Chips, cooked in the middle of a Field. and Onion rings i think - lol these are power hungry so best run off the EHU, but if you have enough battery...

Evening all, Completely new to converting a van, so just wanted to ask a few questions please. I'm converting my T6 van and looking at the forums and online shops I'm leaning towards the victron setup. The main thing I would like to have is the battery sited mid/end van, rather than under the...

Please do ask those questions about the leisure electrics and have a good look around the forum. The majority of cases the forum collective end up sorting out are electrics from converters, many of whom are not electrical specialists and fit an "all in one" 240v and 12v system with the cheapest...

whats the EHU bit for on your Fag Packet schematic? ... taking the install one step further. . . what about adding in the EHU? the LPS has a very capable 240v charger, - wouldnt it be nice to plu in the van to EHU and charge the LPS? yep, ok lets add that then. im looking at...

Hi, really interesting write up on the LPS, very useful, thanks. I have a question about how I go with mine. I'm mulling whether it's better to expand what's already there or rip it out and start afresh. Would appreciate thoughts. So I have the LPS 1 100Ah. After some niggling issues, I did a...
