Worth looking at Dave, you'll be very happy once you've got over the financial shock! I've always been good at spending other folks money! Forum Roamer discount don't forget!
@meza it’s a 1500W PSW inverter from NDS. Peak load from the coffee machine exceeds 1500W but is transient and within spec. It runs off a 100Ah lithium battery; a lead acid of this size is insufficient.
What's your opinion on a different option, say a single LiFePO4 Lithium battery for example a Fogstar Drift 12V 105Ah with 300w inverter and solely used to top-up an existing LB via EHU, or would this carry the same risk as above? Its interesting as more and more conversions are now using...
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...
General consensus is that unless you're prepared to invest mucho money & space, then using 12V to provide meaningful power is a non-starter. To do anything worthwhile & not just a gimmicky gadget, you'll need some serious Lithium battery capacity, Inverter, cabling, Solar, B2B & all the other...
Surely you'll be needing a toaster? An induction hob a coffee machine? A kettle? You'll be able to with a 2000 watt inverter and 200Ah lithium battery, the 240 volt world would be your, in your case, 'salmon'!
After a conversation with the very nice chap Jason @Absolut5 I have bought a Fogstar Drift 12v 230Ah Seat Base Lithium Leisure Battery (on offer from Fogstar for Black Friday at £529.99 from £699.99!). He and his crew are going to re-jig our drivers seat base install, removing the CTEK 250SE et...
Those with inverters. What Ah leisure do you have. I have the 100ah lithium. If I was to make her day and get her Nespresso working in the van off grid would it be up to the job for a couple of cups in a morning?
It's a curious one because my first thought was it's the regs catching up with older lithium chemistry and being about fire enclosures - but it seems mostly about venting and I wasn't aware there was much in Lithium chemistry Vs the very definite venting in Lead Acid chemistry.
As far as I'm...
Thank you, it's taken me 2yrs to get this far. 1 you can't see is the doubd deadening and insulation, the 260w solar panel on the roof, 2000w inverter, 110ah Lifepo4 lithium leisure battery. You can only convert at the rate you can spend.
Not so much bought, but with the 3000w inverter, 560ah lithium battery and 5g Internet......I can now run the xbox while off grid, aswell as all the other stuff! Win!
Hi all,
Reaching out to the guys in the know regarding inverters and elec installations etc.
I want to go ELEC only route on my current camper which means I want to run an induction hob. Just on the Renogy site with @Deaky discount code in hand :) and trying to figure out what I need. Im...
Yes, but that is a massive upgrade.
You need to check all your cabling is up to spec.... I'd assume not.... That Victron has a 70A charger built in.
And you will need 200Ah of lithium to run that inverter.
So as above @roadtripper , let's look at what you have now and go from there.
And as...
And just to think this all started from a crappy 20w 12v solar panel. Shown in my first solar Vid.
Then over my camping 12v solar adventure to keep the beer fridge running.... Slowly increasing in size and capacity.
To my first venture into grid tied kit..... That EcoFlow 800w kit.
And now we...
" Renogy 1000w inverter under drivers seat, and connect to the 160ah lithium which will be under passenger seat, " - this is how i have mine setup.
you need to use super beefy cable, as above use the cable guide.
1000w full load will easily pull 100A/120A . . . so cable for that and fuse...
the Renogy above is rated at 100A continuous discharge.
Renogy recommend one 100ah lithium per 1000w of inverter.
so 2x 100ah lithiums will give you the 200A discharge rate for 8000 cycles etc. ( recommended for a 2000w inverter)
+++++++++++
pulling 1400w or 130A from one lithium might...
So as a short term solution it’s viable as long as you have a relatively mahoosive lithium reserve. But after a couple of days without sunshine, you’re dependent on either running the engine or EHU.
Roamer 230Ah seatbase battery and 2kW Renogy inverter.
Picture one is a mains 2 slice electric toaster...
That's 776 watts at 12.7V so drawing just over 60A of leisure battery power.
Picture two is a tiny mains "1kw" travel kettle...
That's actually 943 watts at 12.7V and drawing 74A from the...
