Search results for query: charging leisure battery from EHU

OK, so I've read through the last 51 pages (maybe skimmed a little bit). My original leisure battery, a Platinum AGM Plus Leisure Battery 12V 100Ah AGMLB6110L is now approaching 5 years old and appears to be showing its age, and so looking to upgrade. The current battery is built into a cabinet...

To add to this, camper leisure batteries are slightly off piste in that they charge and discharge at the same time. I.e. you plug into EHU & your mains charger kicks in. But at the same time the fridge/lights/usb etc will be pulling current from the battery. Some battery chargers don’t like this...

The AMT ks more fit and forget, so long as your leisure battery is also recieving charge from solar/EHU For me I like the challenge of making it work and also, for now, I'm keeping the van pretty much stock and I had almost all the bits to hand. With where I park tailgate on to the garage it's...

Yes that's what it is for. If you are on EHU make sure the charger is on and it will support the 12v leisure system. As an 8A charger there may be times where the load draws more from the battery but it will likely balance out and recharge in the other times given you seem to have a modest load...

No the LB is charged up to 12.7v on EHU. When I disconnected the DC DC from the van battery I was expecting it to go dead and then reset. But the app showed it still had 5.7v so it never reset. I was guessing that the LB was somehow providing power. Driving today the DC DC is still showing...

Mine does that, I charge the Starter over the winter, and the Split Relay activates and charges the Leisure. I would have thought no issue with doing as you suggest. It's just voltage. If the Leisure doesn't need it, it won't accept it. Same happens when people have Solar and EHU.

Can you find space to fit one of the Ablemail trickle chargers? https://ablemail.co.uk/products/amt12-2-trickle-charger-charges-vehicle-battery-from-leisure-battery-with-solar-charger-mains-hookup/

Pretty much: When you charge the Starter battery, the higher voltage fools the van into thinking the alternator is running so activates the ”engine run“ signal. This then activates the split charge relay, so your charger then begins to charge both the starter and leisure battery as they are now...

No disrespect, but surely these ought to have been the questions you asked the person you no doubt handed over a large wad of cash to for the conversion. You are asking the collective who can only second guess how it's all been put together & configured. The person to ask is the one who...

Been charging my Starter battery today and just by luck I was in the van when I noticed that the DC-DC converter turned on even though i’d disconnected the “engine run” signal to it by pulling the fuse (disconnected). Back to the REDARC manual and it states that the trigger works as follows...

Re 1), this was in response to a Q asking if it was normal that the leisure battery discharged in a week in winter... ...did you mean to say that yes this is normal? Did you perhaps miss the key word 'unless'? ie "yes this is normal UNLESS you've turned all the camping loads off"? ...but...

Hi there. I'm not knowledgeable enough to really understand this. I'm yet to work out what has actually failed. I can a clamp meter, Are you able to suggest what check I can make? My set up is as follows: . Powerpart PDU . Leisure battery (get charged via a Sterling Unit - when engine...

The renogy inverter also has the option for passthrough EHU/SHU. So standard operating is it pulls from the batteries and when plugged into EHU/SHU it pulls from EHU/SHU. It's still reliant on an educated end user. For breakfast they will try run the induction hob on max setting for...

There are a lot of similar threads if you search for the common all in one brand names like "Sargent" https://www.t6forum.com/search/1444761/?q=Sargent+lithium&o=relevance It's in reach of DIY certainly, but you'll be handling potentially much higher currents than normal that will need some...

Hi all, My van has a leisure battery fed by the vans' normal charging system, with the switch to prevent overcharging etc. The problem is, in the winter with all the lights on and heater going, after a day, I need to start the van up and recharge the leisure battery as the EHU on sites merely...

The starter battery is indeed 70Ah but the leisure batteries are the ones in question - see below* with the amendment that one of mind is 70and not 75Ah. But regardless of size, have I a problem here? When the supplier has had 3 goes at a fix and tells me all is well, is what I describe above...

Thanks for your reply, a run out to the supermarket is a good idea

What do you have in your setup currently for EHU? What consumer unit? Any 240v sockets? The normal set up to charge leisure battery on hookup would be a 240v charger wired into the consumer unit, fed from hookup. Then connected to the LB with appropriate fuses. The DC-DC would be connected...

At this time of year, particularly when the weather gets cold, I get a low vehicle battery warning from my MetaTrak tracker app about once a week. I am aware that the tracker itself is the likely cause of the battery drain and that the resolution to this is to drive the van more often (mainly...

Yes i have o i have the Revolution conversion. It had the Sterling B2B and Sargent EC power distribution and charger. The Sterling got replaced by a more compact less cumbersome Victron. I removed the internal constant voltage battery charger from the Sargent as tge Leisure Battery was an AGM...
