Slight differences. Wonder how these translate into the real world usage.

Good points, especially about how worthwhile making a fake would be. I'm happy enough to make use of my leisure battery. I've got electrical hookup and a solar panel so should be good for a weekend which is mostly what I'll be using the van for.

Fwiw.. . You can get a second 100w panel , then add that to get 200w. It's recommended that both (or more) be the same make and model. ... You could also fit any mobile panel with a seperate controller to run alongside your existing 100w roof panel. ...

as @Pauly said. get a multi-meter on the battery to double check the actual voltage. ( id imagine that USB meter is off a bit , maybe a volt ?) it looks like the charger is in BULK mode, so throwing max available power at the battery ( due to no 20/80/100 led being lit) 15.0v is ok for a AGM...

Thanks for this @Dellmassive ! I shall take a look. :) Are the mc4 connectors easy to connect/disconnect? I would have to add these connectors to the end of a newly installed PV cable as prior to this the wires were directly soldered to the preinstalled controller beforehand and they're super...

A bit of a logic check please; I’ve read this Mobile Solar Panels ? . . . - How I Did It – thread from cover to cover and watched @Dellmassive excellent video, so I think I have got the basics in my head. We’re going on to Scandinavia for a month in July and I want to get a suitcase style panel...

There are various guide on here and on YouTube about removing an old stuck on panel. It normally revolves around using a string or cotton line to saw through the adhesive behind the panel. Then wd40 or gum remover to get the rest off. It's advised to fit a piece on vinyl wrap to the...

Sorry if I might suggest that you add to your last sentence, "In factories powered by coal."

Sounds like a winning combo. But it will depend on how much solar you connect to it over the darker winter periods. And what your loads are...eg fridge plus whatever. +++++++ You could build a cheaper version? Maybe a couple of AGM leisure battery's, with solar controller, 200-400w worth...

Hi, i have just joined this forum to find out more about VW conversions, i have been looking at 6.1 transporter conversions for two weeks and its a minefield!! i have now got my eye on one and plaining to buy one at the weekend, the owner has just told me that the microwave cant be used unless...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I did mean the fuse at the top left. Only reason I asked is if your midid fuse holder is the same as mine there is no way I could get that fuse lid to close on it with anything more than the 16mm2 cable you have to it. The other 2 small ones would prevent it...

sound like good logic to me, that fridge is a compressor style so very low power when down to temp. the victron 75/15 is a good upgrade, your 85Ah AGM is your weakest link, giving you only around 42Ah of usable power - but as you plan to upgrade later thats all good. if you have a DC-DC you...
