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?)

Definitely fit a secondary audio system for camping, or use a Bluetooth speaker, using the "main" audio system is keeping a considerable amount of the van electronics awake and drawing power. Keep in mind that the starter battery will also be powering any "normal" services such as the every day...

Oh, I think the red wires are for use with the fuses, got that. (So redundant in my (your) plan). But the extra black?

...phone or device to rule out Bluetooth issues? I had the same starter battery anxiety until I wired in (very simple process) an Ablemail AMT 12-2 battery trickle charger/maintainer. It may well be that your starter battery is goosed, as indeed mine was, so a new Bosch starter battery was...

Looks a good solution, there’s also the Ablemail AMT-12 to consider. I have one fitted. Does what it says on the tin. https://www.t6forum.com/search/1198941/?q=AMT+12&o=relevance

...a new 16mm2 cable from starter battery to the rear wardrobe. Plan tomorrow is to fit a new Fogstar lithium battery, Victron DC-DC, Ablemail AMT 12-2 and busbars, fuses, isolator etc. I’m going to keep the CBE DS300 as a fuse board for now, bypassing its split charger, and also keep the CBE...

Possibly, but I‘d like to utilise the CTEK for the time being to maintain the starter battery until I can get round to installing a 200w solar panel and a Renogy DC-DC + MPPT charge controller. I’ll probably use a piggy back fuse connector under the seat with a CTEK direct connector adapter and...

Thanks both - I will have a read-up.

I have had an Ablemail AMT 12-2 fitted for over a year now and had no low voltage problems since.

Just had another look. My Ablemail AMT 12-2 does not seem to be charging the starter :(

Hey guys, my converter is suggesting to use of one these... https://balmar.net/products/digital-duo-charge/ What do you think? Will this do the same job? Any pros or cons? TIA

...It got sent back to the Amazon after a week for a refund. A new Bosch battery was installed and a couple of weeks ago i wired in an Ablemail AMT 12-2 which throws a small current from the Leisure battery into the starter battery when the starter falls below 12.4 Volts. In theory I should...

Hello, Don’t wish to derail thread but quick query. I have the dreaded SCR rather than DC to DC. Would Ablemail 12-2 help in this instance. Two Solar panels wired into rear cupboard seems to keep fridge etc going. (Much help in solar was gleaned from this forum prior).

Low temp cut off is a must, and your covered there which is good. For the heater - where's the van stored when you're not driving it, and it's it in regular use or is it just for summertime and trips away? The heater might come in useful if it's stored during winter, as with an AMT-12 and a...

I use the BM2 on my starter battery and monitor the voltage and charge via the app. I can see when the AMT 12-2 kicks in as required.

This is something similar to what I have planned but I’ve already got a solar panel
