** UPDATE **
Thanks to @EAN for the advice on the Renogy. I was not convinced with it in all honesty so I've had another look at the options and I think I'm now going to go for a MultiPlus 12/1600/70. By doing this it means I can downsize the cabling to either 50mm2 or 70mm2, I don't need to...
Of course I have, yeah. Pretty much keeping it floor level, planning on drilling a hole in the bottom of the seatbase somewhere near the back and then with a gland and some conduit or a grommet, running it out and down in to the step void under the floor (I have a twin slider) and then back up...
Given 120mm2 cable is about 2cm in diameter, i.e. absolutely huge, have you thought about the physical aspects of routing and terminating it? The bend radius alone will make it extremely difficult to get around anything approaching a corner I would have thought?
Plan for installation and hardware location: (Updated)
Most of this is going to be installed under the drivers seat where the existing kit is currently. I'll need to relocate the Dream 1 amp to the passenger seat which is currently filled with an JL Audio Subwoofer. It looks like this will fit...
You want a fuse slightly higher rating than the max output of the charger, so around 40A. If you start the engine & disable the engine shutdown function, do things change? You still haven't said what the SOC is. If the battery is charged or in Absorption phase, the current will be reduced...
Do you have another decent battery charger for other cars etc? If not the ip65 gives you the option to simply unplug it and use it elsewhere for a tiny extra cost (if any). Or the option to relocate it to say under the bonnet if you do future changes to the system. If flexibility is not needed...
I/m thinking about an induction install and to run a small Nespresso coffee machine.
Would a Victron Easyplus run these? Or would it be better to get a Multiplus 2000VA?
I'm also wondering if I would need to go bigger on the cable than 35mm2?
Thanks
I've recently changed phones and my previous phone charged albeit slowly when using Android Auto and GPS. New phone actually loses power when plugged in.
I think the head unit can only supply around 500ma which seems is not enough to run AA, GPS and charge.
Has anyone else seen this and come up...
The seat base on most swivel seats doesn't move, just the seat and mount on top of it. Unless there's a weird swivel seat out there that does (double seat?).
Hi all, following this as will be installing electrics soon. I'm likely going down the Roamer Gen4 230Ah Seatbase route with a 3000w Renogy inverter.
My question is: if the Roamer is in a swivel seat base, given the size of the cable to the inverter, does the inverter need to be attached to...
Hi all,
I’m moving on my iPhone 14 Pro due to it being time for my bi annual upgrade.
Thought I’d list it here before going down the more conventional routes.
The phone has 128GB Storage & was previously connected to the EE Network. Current battery health showing as 86%. It has been logged...
My van has a cable from the starter battery through the bulkhead into the passenger footwell (for the dc-dc charger)..
I want add an electric hook up under the bonnet.
Before I start taking the van to bits I was hoping if someone can tell me if there are 2 rubber grommets that can be used into...
If you are planning a route for the cable, spec the exact cable required and check the bend radius - anything approximating a right angle might be a challenge with the kind of sizes we’re talking about here.
Hi @Bigsidavies. Just read your post on cable routing from the drivers seat to the void where the step used to be. I need to do the same thing basically but just wondering exactly where the bung is under the seat. I’m putting a big 230Ah battery in so wondering if I’ll still be able to get some...
I have a LWB T6 and the one that came with it was enough to get it to the back of the van but not enough to route through the doors. Massively depends on the route you take but I doubt the one that comes with it will be enough. If you don't want to pay for the extra you can buy just the...
As part of my current upgrade from AGM to Lithium, I’m installing a 2000w Renogy inverter to power my 1800w induction hob. However, I didn’t consider the limited space I have in my van and the pretty much the only place I can install it is in the back in the garage. My battery being a 230Ah...
Well it is until you see the price of the customer replacement plate fuse...
Overall it's much easier to add to that fusebox than the one underneath the battery, but I think I'd treat it much more as a distribution point and fuse things as if they were not fused so just treating the plate fuse...
Perfect this has been a great help and exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
I can see now that the additional supplied fuse carrier; they connect directly to the +ve of the battery and not SA3 as I thought. Obviously there are many equally valid ways to do it, but sticking to this...
