Thanks all. The good news is it's doing what it's designed to do, just not what I need.
I think a new fridge is the answer. My 3way one is 20years old now and the gas doesn't work anymore. I've been using it on 240v hook up but with my new battery and solar, I was hoping to be offgrid totally...
That makes sense.
I've been on a few websites, trying to understand it all, but there doesn't seem to be many around that explain it that way, they're just interested in the sales. We won't need a lot of power I assume, just regular things like tv/microwave etc while on site.

At a quick glance I would say your inverter is over specced for your battery and chargers - everything else looks pretty balanced.
If you genuinely need that much offgrid240v then you should switch to LiFePo batteries and go up to the next size of DC-DC/Mains chargers to recover the charge in...

I don't think that there is anything wrong with TN Power batteries. I've been using them for 3 years on my caravan and they have the basic BMS protections that you would expect expect from a decent lifepo4 battery.
They were cheap and someone may come along and criticise them, but I've been...
Hi
Sorry if I confused anyone, yes as Ayjay says a new member here. I've got a 100 Amp AGM leisure battery fitted for info and the 240v sockets are only set up for use with shore power. So I want a way to add the inverter to those sockets without a lot of wiring and switch between shore and...
I have a Victron blue smart charger wired into the 5amp feed from the 240v consumer unit. That goes to the leisure battery.
So when on EHU it charges the leisure battery (15A).
I also have a ctek dc-dc charger, but never operate the 2 together as I wouldn’t start the van if I’m on EHU.
That’s a...

Morning all, I am a total novice at this lark and far from an electrical wizard. I suffer from sleep apeona and have to use a CPAP machine at nights. When on a site with hook up its perfect.
Would the leisure battery last all night running a 240v appliance ? if I was offgrid?
If not I have been...

@Mike Dean
EHU is the 240v connection at the campsite . . .
so are you asking for a Solar setup (thats plug and play) for when you are OFFGrid and not on a camp with the 240vac?
prob best if you post a few pics of your vans setup.
starter battery,
leisure battery,
sockets, charger etc etc...
Firstly, £800 for 100W, when the battery etc are already in o_O
For what you describe, you won't need it. If not camping offgrid, I presume you'd look for hook up and have 240v, invertor etc?
Have a few trips and see how you go.
