Yeh I won’t be letting it go below 12v, , the battery is supposed to be ok off grid for at least a couple of days when fully charged and with the solar panel. The voltage meter was reading over 12, 12.4v but the light strip said low, that through me a bit. Anyway fully charged now I’ll keep...

"Off grid" with internet connection and on a Microsoft server ....... :whistle:

Inverter recommendation for 240v 1.65amp load (Bosch ebike Battery Charger BPC3400) I've got an ebike coming this week and would like to be able to charge it off grid. It has a 750Wh battery. I'll post a picture of the charger.

I think several people, much cleverer than I, have done just that from various battery cars. I like the idea of plug and play, and the ability to drive it too

Yeah - if you want to use 240v stuff on an inverter AND be off grid for more than a day or 2, you really a big-ass set up in every way: Battery, solar, DC-DC. Real world example, on my euro trip last year I stayed at a campsite which was a fairly shaded spot. I was there for 3 nights, or 2.5...

I can manage just 3 days off grid comfortably, running fridge, lights, charging phones and using only electric for cooking all meals (all mains sub 1000w hob, remoska and kettle): that's with a 230Ah seat base battery and 200w of portable panel deployed thru a REDARC MPPT: That was during this...

Is a gasless LWB transporter with induction hobs, capable of being off-grid 5-6 days (running normal low wattage stuff plus appliances like hair dryer, toaster etc in the mornings with 250W solar on roof & 1+2 seating upfront) a task which is possible without a huge loss of storage space? e.g...

The other option. Is leave all your chargers on the leisure battery, ie EHU and solar. Then use a small AMT12-2 mini trickle charger to keep your starter topped up from the LBs.... This is what I use and they are very effective, and cheaper than a dedicated charger, plus work all the time. On...

I'm not sure Roamer's argument makes sense as stated, I think it more makes sense that they're taken a perfectly reasonable business decision that it's not an area of the market they want to address right now and have the complexity of another product line. There are many situations where you...

We have 2x110Ah LiFePO4 batteries, 300W fixed solar, a 3kW inverter and a 30A DC-DC charger and we run a fridge, LED lights, mobile charges, a boiling water tap, an induction hob, a toaster and, occasionally, an air fryer. During summer, if it's sunny or we drive every couple of days, we could...

@Billy92 are you wanting to be off-grid in one place for all that time or are you driving each day or every couple of days? If you are driving a 50A DC-DC would provide a good top up and make your requirements something achievable with a 230ah seat base battery plus the solar. Best way is to do...

And after 10 years you could put a body in it probably?

The EcoWorthy are competent basic batteries but with the general falling prices the Fogstar I'd rate as better value. Having the temperature cutoff in the battery is much safer and the heater means it will charge in low temperatures. £150 is just over a tank of fuel in most places, yet you'll...

Off-Grid Adventure: 2019 VW Transporter Highline Camper with only 23,000 miles Just had FULL service at VW Motus in Stoke. Desirable 150 bhp – 6-speed version Rare Colour Mojave Beige: Stunning and unique, this campervan stands out from the crowd. Low Mileage: With only 23,000 miles on the...

Worth remembering that even LiFePo doesn't actually like extreme charging current - it's just that it's lifetime on quality cells is so high the damage it does is less noticeable. So if you have 50A chargers it's a good idea to back them off for the everyday, they'll run cooler and your battery...

Our leisure battery is 70 ah AGM and is struggling to power Dometic CR50 compressor fridge overnight when off grid. Apart from interior led lights and occasional use of diesel heater no other major load on LB. We have a choice to make and need some advice: do we install a 150w (say) flexible...

I have used the 160w version of above and find it to be good, i only use it a few times during the summer while in France and usually get around 3-6a input from system which is enough to keep my fridge and other kit going for a week. i have a 100ah lithium battery and is usually down to around...

Yes it’s amazing and saved our holiday. With our batteries being a year older and the lack of sun we would have really struggled without it this year. Being able to plug the vans EHU into it and getting our microwave working off grid is a game changer

An external shunt can measure the current in and out of the battery to get a fairly accurate measurement of charge, plus it's very easy to see how much load is on your system. Is it essential? if you have a good BMS with monitoring and a good charger with monitoring, no; but if you like knowing...

So how would that work for a fortnight of off-grid touring around the Scottish Highlands and Islands?
