Do you still have the newer CTEK DC-DC as discussed in February? https://www.t6forum.com/threads/upgrade-from-sargent-ec155-advice-request.47560/ In that thread Fogstar said that the EC155 would not bulk charge the battery, and it seems they were correct? Your best bet is to install one of...

You could hard-wire the Sargent to only charge the starter battery (it has a switch on the front which could be modified). If the Sargent is also then connected to the split charge relay/diode/FET like the alternator, then when the Sargent charger is active, the CTEK would see the charge output...

I done both, well similar. I like the Sargent’s unit and control panel, I think it gives a professional and user friendly look compared to toggle switches and normal fuse boards/consumer unit. So I wired in a separate DC-DC charger with solar capability and a 12A mains charger. The Sargent is...

...probably won't be your last. A slightly more convoluted process but going from the original basic conversion with lead acid battery and Sargent panel to a seat base battery with a 1 kW then 2 kW inverter plus solar plus smart charger... well basically if you've got your own crimpers, lugs and...

...not hold charge well if left idle for a few days. Should I get another like-for-like AGM or a wet Lead Acid? The 240v charging is via a Sargent EC155 Power Supply Unit. I have heard mixed advice as to whether the Sargent can manage AGM cells adequately, or if they are better with wet Lead...

Plug van into ehu and Sargent display comes on , switch off ehu and display goes off. So I'm guessing no power coming from leisure battery for some reason ? Even though it's 12.7

Thanks. Final question, could I bypass the Sargent system Hi, can I please confirm that if I locate the black cable above (Fridge feed MCB 3) then I should wire the IP22 as shown below? How would I specifically connect the IP22 to the 3 pin plug shown below, would I need to fit a 3 pin...

...incoming solar via the separate Mppt unit, your standalone EHU smart charger input, plus as you've indicated your 12 volt supply back to your Sargent unit to replace the Sargent's built in PSU. It's probably my addled brain but I'm wondering if the four midi ways on that unit will be enough...

OK thanks - we haven’t done anything with the ‘red button’ - I know the one you mean though as it comes on automatically- will check what’s in there though - the electrical side wasn’t really covered during handover much so a mystery

Hi Have this control panel in camper van. Just wanted to know what function each of the battery select switch achieve. I know that when van parked up I switch to leisure to power fridge etc. I also sometimes have the leisure switched on when driving to keep the fridge on. I don't...

Eurgh. That could get complex then... Rather you than me! :rofl: :oops:

...articles and a lot of it goes over my head lol…..but I’m looking at getting Renogy - 12V 100Ah Lithium Ion Battery w/Bluetooth. Currently have Sargent EC160 power supply so will this be sufficient to charge the lithium battery as well as thru EHU or do I need to change / adapt anything? Cheers

Hello. I've lost power to my control panel, Sargent ac50. I had presumed the on/off switch was a simple spst switch that just fed the lights and pump switch and battery monitor switch. but all literature talks about this switch using an external relay to control the on/off function. I can;t...

...current plan is: 1) Remove Durite split charge and replace with Victron DC-DC charger (fitted under drivers seat next to AGM LB 2) Remove Sargent charger PSU (or bypass - taking @dcpen43 advice not to hook into Sargent spade connectors) and use Victron IP 22 3) Power Victron IP22 from...

...relaxed about split charge relays, basically giving the same negatives as for any leisure battery system connected in this way. I have a Sargent and noticed one of these batteries for sale in the forum so checked it out, with my dc-dc charger, solar MPPT I think the only issue left is the...

Aah thought it was more to it than that. I remember helping my mate remove the Sargent unit from his van so he could start again as it was the best option. My bad. I’d still go the seat base 230ah with decent dc-dc and an mppt controller.

For sale, open to offers, never used brand new Sargent EC50 control panel.

Yeah, it works sufficiently for me too Basically straight standalone connection to battery yes, no interaction with dc-dc charger or Sargent

Hi all! Some advice please on a Sergent EC50 problem please. My leisure battery is fully charged (tested on voltmeter at 13v). I have a solar panel which constantly charges and of course when I plug in to mains. Problem is, when I select L battery on the EC50, it alarms and flashes red LED by...

Looking to change up to 105ah Lithium. Currently have a 2015 VanWorx conversion. Sargent PX300 3 stage intelligent charger(14.4v peak) Koshun 300 inverter VSR relay Would the upgraded DC-DC charger replace Sargent unit and VSR relay?
