Search results for query: 240v off grid

Hello to everyone, I have been watching the forum a lot over the last half a year to which i finally made an account a couple of months back. I've now paid for the membership as i believe the information on here alone is worth tenfold that. I just want to start by saying what an amazing team...

If you want to run a battery/inverter system to provide mains power, you need to see how much power you want to draw. What are your lights and power tools rated at in watts? When you specify an inverter you’ll need to over specify so you’re not taking it to the limit. The next thing is the...

Hey, GoatBoater, Do you have any information about your set up, battery charger location, what battery charger you have etc etc. Most van set ups have everything that you use day to day, lights, usb, fridge etc running off your leisure battery, 12v. Then when you plug into the grid, 240v, the...

Hey thanks for that advice @drew_greenday so im better off buying like a ctek and a split relay charger etc rather than the ec155 or 160? Please you said that cos i was going to order one tonight. Is there anywhere on here where there is a list of what you need to do all electrics so people...

Good morning, After our brief conversation with a Moderator yesterday I was OK'ed to advertise a friends unwanted competition win. He’s not very tech savvy so has asked me to help out!! He only received it a couple of weeks ago but due to his partners deteriorating health they think it would...

Fridges & Cold Beer -- How I Done It -- For Most Beer Lovers, Cold Beer is a Must. (especially Larger) and for Her-Indoors a cold wine or G&T will always help smooth the situation . . . . maybe even Cold POP for the kids (My nanas term) Then there is the necessities of camping and Fridges...

Yeah sorry I went quiet... there’s been some progress however I can’t say I’ve completely got to the bottom of it. my installer reckoned it was likely to be caused by a faulty CTEK, and so the other week I took it down to be replaced. I’m now in the process of testing it out some more and I’m...

Here’s a handful that are advertised on this forum that are around that price range (listed oldest to newest advert)

Hi all, I’m planning out the conversion of our 2017 Gen 6 T6 caravelle and I’ve got on to what to do for electrics. I’ve read dozens of posts (mainly by @Dellmassive, thanks) and I’m favouring the victron equipment as I want reliability and a quality setup. I’ve seen the victron energy ‘van’...

sounds like a good setup... and 2x AGMs can be a good solution for now untill you decide on Lifpoe4. Though i personally would question the "modified sine" inverter.... Id ask for an upgrade to the "Pure Sine" inverter . . . . . I've has issues with modified sine wave inverters smoking my...

This is a sad sad day. My marriage is over and now I need to sell my beloved T6 Camper and hire business. Its been making great money and still will for the next few months, then next year. But I am out of options financially and have no option but to move out. I invested everything of mine in...

One of the Andys asked for more pics of our new van, and I wanted to post some pictures for reference and for others considering a rear kitchen campervan layout. Thanks to the excellent community here, the T6forum is always near the top of the Google rankings, and so I thought this might be...

Looking at this from a business rather than Engineering perspective: In my experience an unprotected wet cell battery rarely lasts more than 12-24 mths in any type of van due to abuse (deep cycling), incorrect charging etc. An AGM battery is now in a similar price bracket to a standard wet...

As all T6s have smart alternators now you have to use a battery to battery charger to allow charging from the starter battery, something like the Ctek D250S or the Ring DC30 To charge from mains hookup you will need an external mains input plug to feed 240V to a battery charger onto the 2nd...

A great list and a lot to look through.... so a more detailed answer for later... But just for now I think you are going to need a second additional 110Ah leisure battery if you want to run that 12v fridge plus more extras for longer than 1 day on just battery power alone... Edit: more info...

Loz - you must have got up earlier than me - and saved me the trouble of setting up the science lab bit. But I think Travelvolt has looked back at the thread anyways and has seen the light. The written word can be more misleading sometimes than the spoken word hence why we all get a wee bit...
