Exactly this, long term ability to stay off-grid is more about power in vs power out than it is about Ah storage.

eco flow river mini , in my daughters camper , i run it from a leasure battery in my van

The shunt display on our setup regularly shows the Waeco CRX50 fridge drawing 4 amps and on the original Redline converter installation would give a maximum of two days off grid on the 110 Ah sla with no solar and the stupid split charger that they had installed on a Euro6 T6. Managed to kill...

hi, no, it suddenly stopped. No idea at all what the cause was. I've traced most of the wiring, but apart from a couple of LED lights, a fridge and a sink water pump I can't find anything that was likely to cause a drain - unless it was backcharging the main vehicle battery. However, just this...

Tbh if you only need 2-3 days off grid at most, then 100Ah should see you through. Fridge would be 1Ah per hour, so 75Ah for 3 full days of use, then there's extra for diesel heater, lights, phone charging etc. And if you do decide to get solar down the road, you want need as much as you'll...

Yes I have just noticed if I start my van and the heater will start up and I can turn thr van off the battery is only 5 months old it had over half power. Weird

awesome

Jason and Noel have been really busy. My van is coming along nicely. It’s not finished yet, but they are nearly there. We’ll be picking it up on Wednesday. Here’s the before photo of the seat base install coming out removing the AGM battery and CTEK etc and the new install across the two seat...

Likely if the diagram covers all your loads. The way to work it out is to take the capacity of your battery (105Ah) and work out how many hours a day you are running your loads to get a power budget. For instance if your TV draws 2.8 amps then 2 hours will use 2.8 x 2 = 5.6Ah from the battery...

I've got a 67 plate Redline camper and happy enough with the majority of the conversion which dates from late 2018 but they hadn't really got a clue with the leisure electrics on a Euro 6 van. Mine had a split charge relay and that Sargent EC160 unit which is underwhelming, the trouble is if you...

My Clayton LPS1500 lets me run fully off grid with access to 240v (upto 1500W). BUT with a fridge running you are looking at 2 days, 3 days max IF you arent recharging it via driving or solar

Yep, for instance for me I rarely use 'luxury' campsites with hookup etc, I prefer small/basic sites away from people, and free parkups, along with a decent amount of induction cooking, sometimes for several days at a time. So, I need a big battery, big solar panel, and big alternator charging...

Fridge compressors won't be on constantly, so a 40w fridge will only use 1-1.5Ah per hour, nowhere near 80Ah a day! That definitely helps! If you're only realistically looking at 3-4 then that's definitely possible with a smaller battery. Have a read up on the forum, a few of us have sizable...

Just plug into the renogy inverter when driving....

Got ours at the start of 2019 and apart from various minor faults, expensive servicing at Vindis and Agnes letting us down in France last year it has been an enjoyable journey this far. I'm thinking here that in our case we're a couple of old duffers who can just decide "that's it we're off!"...

I’m after some advice on a portable fridge please. I would like one that can fit in the Ovano draw system so no more than around 480mm in height, ideally have a freezer section. I’m not after a massive version as it will need to be stored in the garage when not in use, though ideally I’d use...

We have a SuperB Epsilon battery. Had it about 5 years now, it’s good for charging down to -20C apparently. Never failed me yet, we were off grid in -20C last year & it was charging quite happily off the solar. It wasn’t cheap, but I suppose it’s a “get what you pays for” scenario.

If you did then you have full control in the app but "Battery Life" is likely not a good fit for your use, it's more designed to adapt the load settings for long term off-grid use to avoid killing the battery, for instance lighting in a remote barn. You should be able to pick one of the 2...

As above, electric heating off-grid is not really viable unless you use a petrol generator. Anyone nearby probably won't be impressed though! That said, you can get some fairly quiet ones. A 1200 Wh battery typically cannot be used for the full 1200 Wh, you may be able to drain it to 20%...

Basically that ^^ The DC-DC (Orion XS) doesn't know what the state of charge of the battery is, the only thing that knows that is the battery BMS and the Victron Shunt as it measures everything going in and out of the battery.
