My wife and I both have Ebikes which we would like to use when away. We spend most trips away in the van off grid. My bike has a 625 wh battery and my wife's battery is 500wh. In my van I have a 150ah lifepo4 battery which copes with extended days off grid as I have a permanent 150w solar panel...

Can anyone please recommend the best value leisure battery for under £200? Something that will allow us to go off grid for at least a couple of days at a time. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m very new to campervan electrics and could really use your advice. I work remotely, and decided I want to travel around the UK working in some nice spots instead of sitting in my flat. My plan is to buy a T6 and convert it, with the aim of being able to go off grid for...

Quick question for the knowledgeable if possible Leisure battery's (none lithium ) So agm come in grades A B C B commonly used In caravans for 230v hook up A used for off grid Will be mainly using for site use but may need off grid when using as day van Is there a significant...

I have a similar setup to this, both your current setup and the proposed solar kit. The MPPT connects to the battery though so the Sargent setup is not really relevant. I think my panel is 150w (maybe 180) and this is sufficient to extend the life of the battery off grid but not sufficient to...

4 days off grid just on battery power? fridge , lights, night heater, water heater, kettle, hairdryer and hob Have you calculated all that ?

My van is new to me and I had the first off grid trip away last weekend with no issues. When I got home I plugged the EHU in to charge the leisure battery. The EHU is located under the bonnet so I plugged it in, lowered the bonnet but didn’t close it all the way for fear of damaging the cable...

Hi Guys, Looking into the world of electrics! I’m planning on running a 12V system for fridge which would be on a low setting (for cold beers), a diesel heater (which I’d like the option of having running throughout the night if required) and some lights/reading lights and phone charging...

I'm having a 250w solar panel with victron panel and a planar diesel heater installed very soon in my T6.1. however, I'm also considering installing an inverter for that extra option for 240v when off-grid. The battery I currently have is this XR-1750 The DC charger I have is this (BB1230)...

It was never planned but yesterday we purchased an Opus Trailer camper. Never thought I would own a trailer but it's fantastic build and ideal for our family needs. It comes with a hook up and leisure battery setup, but I need to adapt this quickly as we camp off grid without hook up the...

Wondering if anyone has any experience with this…. I have a recently replaced 110ah leisure battery and run the usual things (led spots lights, phone chargers, 12v fridge) when off-grid. I get about 12-13v when fully charged and this will give me about 12-hours with above mentioned items...

I need ideas for a leisure battery to fit under passenger seat and a split charge relay please! I can't work out exactly what I need, and the more I read, the more confused I'm becoming! :D I have put this off for 3.5 years, but want to fit a cupboard and fridge so need power in the van! It's...

Solar panel install looks tidy and the Noco Genius will charge a lithium battery too apparently but I'm guessing the install is probably off grid and limited by the modest AGM battery?

Can’t recommend someone I’m afraid. Put up some pics of what you already have fitted (batteries, switches, fuse boxes, chargers etc) and have bought to help us identify them. It’s also useful to understand what you are using the van for and what kit you want to power (fridge, usb chargers...

I think that's the point I was trying to make, if you only need to go off grid for a couple of days, with reasonable use you would be fine without solar, but fitting a LiFePo4 battery instead. I was lucky that our DC to DC charger supported LiFePo4 (it had a profile for it) so we only had to...

Yeah gas is fine when used properly, either with a fixed install or with small canisters and a portable hob. Induction is definitely worth looking into but if you want to be off grid for more than a day or 2 as well as regularly using induction, you need a suitably beefy leisure battery set up...

Hi, I’m trying to understand if this portable solar panel is as simple as connecting it together as shown by the diagram, which then can run my 12v fridge and lights off grid? So basically, I connect the converter to the panel. Then the converter directly to the leisure battery via the...

Prob a bit late but we went for the Bluetti AC180 which along with the LifePo leisure battery I reckon will suit our needs for a couple of nights off grid. Only went for the Bluetti because of cost - it’s back on offer for £549, down from £899 which is a fair bit cheaper than the other...

It wasn’t cheap as it’s a pretty big system with a 30 year guarantee on efficiency. There’s 11 of the big new generation solar panels, the inverter and the 2 Duracell 500w batteries. We got a deal and one battery free. I was £11.5k all in. It will take 9 years to recoup our investment. It...
