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!

It has no relevance or suitability factor to off grid use, if anything a higher powered invertor will be worse for off grid as you will empty the battery quicker If thinking about off grid use then the single most important factor is recharging the battery and replacing the energy you consume...

I need to change leisure battery. Use on off grid a lot for 2-3 day tripswith solar panel connected. Any advice please on best battery with dual terminals. Is for t6 campervan. 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...

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

First two days of 100% solar powered household. Finally turned off the over night Grid charge to the battery bank. Slowly decreasing from 4hrs to 30mins. And now off. Now using the solar to charge battery and run the house, the battery bank has enough capacity to run the place for 24hrs...

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...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

Hi, I would be very grateful for feedback on my proposed refresh of the leisure battery system on my 2013 T5.1. Current set up is an 8 year old Travelvolts SCR with the addition of a 150w Solar panel on pop top. Van is currently used for weekends and weeks away using hookup. I am planning to...

Just my tuppence, I fully intended on installing solar when converting my van, but I haven't got round to it yet and haven't yet been in a scenario where we've run out of juice from the leisure battery. I suppose it depends how often you expect to be off grid.

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...

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...

https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/exclusive/43793/best-solar-chargers-car-batteries-2024 There is quite a difference between trickle charging a battery to see you through the winter months and keeping the leisure battery charged to (for example) keep your fridge running while you’re off grid...
