Sounds like you need an Ablemail AMT 12- 2 @Bav . Easy to fit, keeps the SB topped up nicely.

...goes below 12.3v as long as LB is over 13v. Default setting 4. I have a 12 month old Bosch 95Ah starter battery. Engine switched off at 5pm yesterday. 0.1v seems like a normal SB drop to me. Get an Ablemail AMT 12-2 is my advice! Plot shows midnight last night to 8pm tonight. Van not driven...

Shopping list looks good. You don’t need switches but can be useful for managing the system and/or for maintenance. One in the cable between the Orion Pos Out and AMT Leisure Pos allows you to turn the AMT on/off - needs to be >3A capable. You can also put one in the green plug of the Orion to...

Something like this in red and black for the ATM to DC-DC: 3mm2 PVC Cable And 2 of these at an appropriate length for the Orion neg to chassis (you’ll cut one end off to go in the Orion): 10mm2 battery leads Keep the AMT close to the Orion to minimise cable length. If you want to have the...

Second the AMT-12 if you already have solar fitted on the leisure side. For direct maintenance I believe 50mA is the threshold for a fault code for the van's ECUs drawing too much current when fully asleep, so using that as a worst case that's potentially 1.2Ah (24 x 0.05) of capacity from the...

Thanks Roadtripper. After looking around I’ve taken the plunge on the Victron. I’ll update the post once it arrives and I get it installed with the Ablemail.

The Victron Orion XS is a current popular choice. You'd need to double check the rating of your wiring as it might not be suitable for the full power draw the Orion is capable of , but you can set the charging rate easily in the Orion via the Victron app. If you mean "bi-directional" in terms...

Was that a pre-made kit for something? The thin cables will be ok for the AMT once you have crimped the spade connectors that come with the AMT. The 2 black cables will be ok for the Orion negatives but likely too long and much heavier duty than needed for a short run with an 18A charger...

Thank you

Paul I'll go down the AMT 12-2 root As advised. I'll have a look around see if electric expert can install one for me. I wish you lived in my area i would just blow myself up. Sorry if i came over as dumb I have 50+years Engineering background in oil and gas industry but these fancy...

Yes, the Ablemail seems a very well regarded product on the forum, which makes me question why my converter is trying to push me down the route of a Balmar Digital Duo Charge. The Balmar is almost x3 the cost (...perhaps I've just answered my own question! :rolleyes:)

I am going to Solar Shack (In Ashington) on the 25th to sort that out. Will see what options he has for starter battery maintainer, but if he doesn't stock Ablemail or similar I can add that after if I am still seeing a decent drop off with new battery. I really appreciate all the advice on...

Rather than split charge only on the Solar consider using the Ablemail AMT 12-2 if you can, then your starter will trickle charge whatever the source of charge for your leisure...

...The big fuses in my plan I presume are redundant as I am going to reuse the in situ wire and simply reduce fuses down to 50. The thin gauge wire and all small bits I presume are for the Amt 12-2. So my question is….what is the two thick red wires and one thing black wire with ring terminals...

Fitting an AMT 12-2 isn't too far into the complex electronics - if you can find your DC-DC charger (I assume CamperKings have them and not some split charge relay...) then that will generally have access to all the wiring you need to get to. Some pics and plenty of folks will likely advise...

Literally what I was about to mention. If you did want to trickle charge the starter battery, you might want to look at an Ablemail AMT12-2. That'll have the benefit of constantly topping up the SB rather than just when you're on EHU.

...be 99.999% accurate. And you'll also have everything in the one app. Oh and the shunt will read both your SB and LB voltages. Add an Ablemail amt 12-2. It's literally 3 wires, one to the fuse nearest the Orion on the SB cable run, then as you have the 100/20 MPPT I'd suggest using the load...

^^^^^ This :thumbsup: A 95ah Exide AGM will fit the battery compartment. Add a BM2 monitor & an AMT 12 maintainer. Job done.

hi Spuds ,do agree with you but i am a lover of minimalistic approach to camping and seem to be fighting the system VW have used just to keep the lights on , on this forum keep seeing people complaining on running flat the starter after just gong in and out of the van on a parkup . as you say...

Ordered (does this get installed near leisure or near starter?)
