Yes thats all i need is a 2/3 days parked with solar doing the charge when no hook up or driving so sounds like it will suffice, is yours straight connection to leisure battery with inline fuse as per solar pic set up? Was just a little unsure as hear things like buses and shunts etc and all...

Im finding myself going for 2 or 3 days off grid but with driving inbetween. As I say the batter is 4/5 years old now so im just trying to be prepared for the impending doom of it

1400wh is 116Ah. That's A LOT. You ain't going to be able to go off grid for more than a day or 2 unless you're replenishing that power from solar - you'll need a BIG array. And even then solar is not guaranteed. I would check and double check all your usage amounts, for instance a typical 12v...

What we'd want to run off the tower if we're able to get it connected to the leisure battery: Chargers (laptops, phones etc) What we'd run off it if we were hooked up: Probably just the above, and a portable heater How often off-grid: Weather permitting, one or two days a week in the summer...

Probably didn’t explain my post that well, the van has been converted by the previous owner, through a company but I’m not sure what the system or in fact how it all works, I have read through numerous threads, I’m not that aufait with vehicle electrics and all the terminology. I’ll post some...

If the system is giving you what you need right now then no real reason not to replace with a good quality leisure battery (don't get a starter battery it will age very quick) and it will be more economical. The system you have is a competent touring and occasional night off grid system so long...

Took delivery of our new campervan in early May and have now been on a couple of camping trips to try it out. The first trip - a two-nighter in Northumberland on EHU - was a general shake-down of the conversion and a familiarisation exercise. The primary purpose of the second trip - a 6-nighter...

Sorry to take so long to reply. My leisure battery is charged by alternator and solar when driving and just solar when parked. We tend to stay off grid for several days and rely on solar to recharge leisure battery as fridge is important to keep food and drinks cold. Occasionally we use a...

REDUCED!!! Needs a wonderful new home! 200Ah Bluetooth Roamer 200S Lithium Battery, 3 years old, 68 cycles on the BMS App. From a 2000 watt inverter, it powered a 2000 watt induction hob, a 1560 watt coffee machine, power drills/tools and more. Too big to live under the passenger seat, it lived...

Thanks a lot. I would really want the battery under the seat so it sounds like I need to ratchet back my expectations as to how long could realistically last off-grid. Though below = 280 as opposed to 230 so gives you a bit more (at a price). Is it more difficult to put the seatbase battery...

Probably a question for someone with an electrical background. I have a T6.1 with factory leisure battery plus an extra battery at the back(same type) with an (cheap Chinese amazon) inverter to supply the AC when off grid. I also have a changover switch and a mains hookup. So it's EITHER...

Lots of Victron users around these parts, maybe start a thread with your current settings and symptoms and folks can advise. My personal view with the higher current chargers is to leave them around 30A if you are using the van regularly as this lets them run cooler and is kinder to the battery...

So in about 10 years time when half of us have a Buzz we'll have the Forum Charging Network where we can each borrow each others chargers as we road trip to the opposite end of the country... There's also probably going to be a point soon where advancing battery and solar tech means the ICE...

Just wire all your 12V to the leisure battery & fit a decent mains charger. That setup will automatically do what you want without any complications.

Hi all, I've been reading through many leisure battery threads and i'm not quite getting the answer i'm looking for. A lot of the threads revolve around what seems to be converted campers or those who need significant power 'off grid'. I've got a T6 Kombi with seats only and an awning. When...

been busfesting, so off grid with beergoogle. looks like you have low voltage issue, 11.65v or whatever it is. maybe due to low battery charge, as you say its ok when engine running. cables too thin and getting volt drop? post some pics of the inverter, batts, connections etc etc

I've got 1, love it. WiFi connection is a game changer for me with my use case. I have it buried under the bed so with the WiFi/Bluetooth I can turn it on. I use it as my off grid 240v (I have a hard wired extension lead) and I also have a 20A leisure battery charger I plug in to top up the van...

This also made me chuckle

So do lithium batters charge well off the engine when running?

Yeah, no batteries or panels. My current set up just needs updating a lot as it has lead acid battery, ctek d250sa. I just want my 12v system to be able to work off grid, and then off the EHU
