    Solar Charging through MPPT and to a Power Generator that has its own MPPT built it

    That's specifically the trailer socket module going to sleep some time after the trailer is no longer detected. I did do some experiments with the 12v sockets and USB-C but not long term. I'm also a single battery only. When I have the 12v EHU plugged in I often plug my small Beaudens power...

I’ve thought about how to test it at home with getting a new aerial then connecting at connector at back of pop top to...

    Lots of options… 1. DC-DC with leisure battery under drivers seat 2. DC-DC with leisure battery in the rear furniture 3. Portable battery generator like an EcoFlow or Jackery mounted in the rear furniture Then you could add solar panels to the roof for any of the above For 1 and 2 you might...

    Van Battery Issue

    When camping every time you unlock/power up the van the lights come on and the modules power up.. if you open the van multiple times a day. . . . . And if you leave the door open then the van will stay awake longer. thats why the battery will go flat after 2 days or so. +++++++++ at home...

    What size Solar panel should I buy?

    the CTEK is good for about 400W max. But you must make sure you dont go above the 23v VOC max input of the charger or damage will ocure. multiple panels will need to be connected in parallel. size wise: for " crx50 fridge, diesel, heater , lighting and a couple of USB s for phone charging"...

    240v Battery Charger + MPPT + DCDC

    No, all good. just make sure all are set to correct charge profiles, all battery connections are fused, and look at fitting some monitoring: Charging: Battery Chargers - How I Did It - Battery Charging - Main Battery Earth Point - Battery Monitoring -- How I Done It -- [Guide] Battery...

    Solar Panel Fail?

    yeh, id say. . . thats 100% STC Max Power yield. the panel shows P-Max 200w - which i got. it was only for a second or two, but managed to get a screen shot. everything was for it, cold panel temp, perfect clear sky, perfect panel angle, lithium low power so ready to take a bulk charge...

    First time camper conversion 2024

    So after a month of doing sweet FA on the van, this weekend I got my act together and painted the wall panelling. First of all I did it in Cuprinol light blue... then decided I didn't like it and re-did in an expensive Farrow and Ball white. I have also started messing around with a little...

    [Guide] Clayton LPS II 2500 - 1kWh (leisure battery + Inverter) -- How I Done It --

    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...

    [Guide] Mobile Solar Panels ? . . . - How I Did It -

    - fuses are not needed on 12v solar systems IMHO as the short circuit current is so low versus the cable gauge used (next to no chance of burning out cables) - so leave it out. ( if you wanted to fit one, it would go as close as possible to the source of power - so at the panel end of the...

    Alarm and battery failure?

    yeh. . . . unfortunately the T6 wont last 4weeks. that's going to end up with a knackered battery. you need to top-up with a mains charger every 3weeks or so, or get some solar fitted. more info: Charging: Battery Chargers - How I Did It - Battery Charging - Main Battery Earth Point -...

    Solar for Keeping the Battery Topped Up

    i wouldn't recommend those. . . (no offence intended, but I've tested them and wasnt up to scratch)(but you could prove me wrong with any BM2 battery voltage plots showing the battery being charged) - https://amzn.to/3TLefvk for £55 your cash can be well spent else where. why? "Max power...

    Cable at the battery

    I did have a quick look before posting and unless I’m missing something the Sterling is a mains charger only. So what’s confusing is you’ve said the cable was from the dc-dc (aka B2B) and you’ve also mentioned solar but the Sterling has nothing to do with either. Do you have a dc-dc charger -...
