Hi Complete novice here. I have the CTEK D250se installed with a lithium leisure battery but I'm wanting a little more time off grid. I've found the ECOFLOW 220w folding panels. Are they compatible? Do I need any extra/additional plugs or cable? Many thanks

3 days off grid, with worst case scenario of zero solar (under trees, or just normal British weather!) with a fridge (25Ah per day), diesel heater, phone charging etc, a typical 105Ah LiFePO4 might be cutting it fine - you're looking at 75Ah for just the fridge for 3 days of use. Generally you...

No not really, 4 days are just maximum what I would stay in case my wife don’t feel well and it’s not like we will use all them each day except fridge, it’s hard to do this until you actually out and use it

I’ve fitted a Fogstar drift quite recently. Nice compact and light. App looks very good. A split charge solution isn’t recommended for a smart alternator as it only charges the battery to 80%. Surely buying a power bank as a solution for off grid with the money you save by having an inferior set...

Have you already got the solar panel? If not, is there an option of going any bigger? I ask, because induction cooking on the inverter absolutely rinses the battery! For example, on my 230Ah Fogstar battery, 20 minutes at full power on a single 800w induction hob, drains 10% of the battery -...

Welcome. It’s broadly there but a few bits I’d do differently. Those breakers from the MPPT are unreliable (unless you use expensive Blue Sea ones), the 12v loads would be better off the busbar rather than the MPPT, the cable from leisure battery to shunt should be fused as should all the cables...

When we were on the IOW in our camper back in July a large family group opposite had a visitor in an MG4 EV and the cheeky sod used one of the site hook ups to charge his car overnight.

I’d start at the basics, what is it you want/need to power , how often and where? Once you know that you can design the system to do what’s needed. At present it appears to be massive overkill in some areas (multiplus, Cerbo) and very under speced in others (solar). If you want off-grid then...

In this video at about 3:40 Greg goes through how to calculate the size of battery you'll need. If you haven't already done it, you'll need to know what you want to power, how long you want to power it for and how much juice each item will use. Will you be off grid for weeks or using EHU every...

At the moment, I am not looking to go down the route of full off grid, as we have only had two occasions that mains hasn't been available, but have a few things that we need mains for in the caravan. I want the inlet to top the battery up if needed.

Thanks for the link stills works even on the current sale they have

I will say though, if your budget is big enough and you have enough space (IE a cabinet location rather than under seat) then it's completely possible. For instance you can get 12v LifePO4 batteries that are 500Ah or bigger... Then along with a big battery, you can run dual DC-DC chargers, for...

All looks very tidy, compact and contained. Is their a description for the uninitiated:)?

I kind of wish I never put my battery charger in and went for an mppt and panel on roof instead. I still want one, I've found a 305w panel and mppt with all wiring for £349. All victron stuff

There is money to be had in helping balance the grid. It’s been going on quite a while with things like supermarket fridges and some large pumps - turning on if/when there is an excess in the grid whether they are needed or not and turning off when the grid is struggling to provide power...

Thanks for replying. You say to turn the DC DC charger off, use a remote switch. Would I need to turn this off for any reason. You also say to run a main fuse next to the positive battery terminal, is this the leisure battery you are referring to. If a fuse did blow for any reason, is there a...

If you want a hand give me a shout. Will send you a pm.
