Yesterday I noticed something that I hadn't seen before. Probably because I have the drivers seat out for another job and noticed it but thought I'd check.
I had EHU connected which was powering a Victron Energy IP22 12\15. This was charging the leisure battery.
I also had a Victron Energy...
I have no idea how this lot is going to fit under the seat along with the biggest battery I can get my hands on
OK, so I only need the DC-DC and 240 breaker under there, picture for sheer pleasure of seeing all that wonderful Victron kit together:D
As I see it there needs to be a plate made...
So with the current situation my camper isn’t coming out of the garage much which has made me think about maintaining the starter battery.
I already have a Victron 30a charger to charge my twin leisure battery setup but have been thinking about changing it for a triple output Victron instead...
Probably a stupid question I know but.......
The Sargent EC155 has an inbuilt 'battery charger' when on hookup.
I know this is a constant voltage charger, but if you connected it to the input of the Ablemail, would this not then convert it to a proper charger?

Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere that can do all three of stereo speaker upgrade - dc / dc battery install and Webasto. Does this type of magician even exist or will I have to just put the van into different places for the different pieces of work?
I've just taken delivery of the DC-DC charger and removed the passenger seat to see where it could be installed. There doesn't appear to be enough space under the seat and I was wondering if anyone had managed to fit this in a Beach?

Evening all :-)
I am about to install a Ctek dc-dc charger in my van but would like the option of connecting a charger from the mains as well without frying the dc-dc charger or overloading the system. I cannot seem to find the answers anywhere despite searching everywhere, how have you guys...
I'm trying to understand the pros/ cons of fitting the leisure battery and associated paraphernalia under the drivers seat vs a bespoke locker at the rear of my LWB.
Driver seat pros;

Has anyone fitted one of the Renology DC-DC battery chargers?

Hello from Spain and excuse me for my bad english
I bought a Redarc 1240D from Travelvolts (thanks Martyn) and I tried to switch off the blue cable (ignition feed) in order to stop charging my Fraron 100 ah lifepo4 battery when freezing and it does not works.

Hi everyone
Does anyone know anything about these CTek split chargers?
I've built my own campervan and read alot about T6s and their smart alternators etc. So I bought a CTek split charger and wired it all in.
It all works fine, the solar charges the new leasure battery and the alternator...

Not sure it has proper...
As per title, I think my leisure battery may be dead.
I've attached a battery monitor for the last few days and it looks like the battery charges from the solar panel during the day but then drops down to 12.3v overnight.
Nothing is running from the LB apart from the battery monitor...

Victron have finally released their much anticipated DC-DC charger. I expect to have stock of the 12 12 30 this week. Visit the web site for updates on stock.
OK guys, I've finally managed to repair my solar panel.
It's now charging my leisure battery via an MPPT solar controller.
While the solar panel was down, my leisure battery went dead due to not charging via the alternator.
With my limited knowledge, it looks like a VSR under the drivers seat...
