lithium battery

This week, I bought 2x 130Ah Valence Lithium Iron phosphate batteries, and some (but not all) of the Victron kit I need. I've also spent loads on tools ( I love buying tools), the hydraulic crimp tool is great!! Please see the diagram below, I think this is pretty much as it should be, and I...

Hi all, the alternator light on my ctek 250 is flashing, any ideas please....cheers.

Hi I'll be getting myself a DC/DC charger to replace the current smart relay set up soon. As the first step before i go solar, ideally i'd want one with a built in MPPT solar controller, so was wondering if any one has any recommendations as to what to get? Been looking at the CTEK D250sE (or...

Having been seriously let down by a 'professional' firm of converters who have ruined my vehicle I am looking to source another vehicle and have conversion done once I get my money back. One of my requirements is lithium/solar system. I think I know what I want but would really like to find a...

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...

Lithium battery itself works but the associated App for monitoring SOC, voltage etc. doesn’t work. The only way of knowing battery status is via the vague indication given by the Sargent readout. Emails and multiple calls to LiFOS have been ignored - very poor customer service for a product...

Hi New to the forum, hoping for a little bit of help with a 12v battery bank i'm planning on building. My primary reason for buying a VW T6 was to go fishing in it, so i'm building some weird and wonderful bits to suit those needs, the latest bit of the build is to make a quick and easy 12v...

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. Without the ignición wire...

Hi All, Just talking through my electrical requirements for the conversion and what i would like is, - 300w solar panel - 160ah (at least) battery - Mains hook-up - for the leisure battery to be able to charge from the solar, mains or when the car is running - the car stereo to be able to run...

I'm thinking of getting a 100ah lithium battery for a new t6 panel van I'm picking up in about 6 weeks. It will have 2 factory fitted single swivel seats with a diesel heater under one of them. Electrics will be 49 litre fridge, interior lights, diesel heater, and charging for mobile phones so...

Hi all anyone got a lifos lithium battery set up? If so what are the pro's and con's please? Cheers.

I'm in the process of trying to determine the best off grid set up for my T6 conversion. Being a novice to all this, i'm not even sure if my expectations are realiatic if I'm honest, but I'm figuring i'm in the right place to find out... So, I'm looking at some pretty wild touring, upto 7 to...

Came across this battery technology recently and was wondering what thoughts there are out there. If i read and understand correctly these single cells can be stacked to make either 12v or 14.4v and are much safer than any other lithium and look to be way cheaper too. EV-Power | Lithium...

Ctek have announced an updated version of the ever popular Dual 250. Now designated the 250SE, it is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries. As you might expect, it has gone up in price, but not by a huge amount so it is still very well priced. Available in the next 7 - 10 days.

So, if you had to spec an offgrid power supply to run a fridge & not much else except some led lighting that could see you through a week in the wild,how would you approach it? Looking into what fridge,solar,battery etc Basically what I have wouldn't cut the mustard. as for a budget lets say...

Hi all! In the process of upgrading my T4 to a T6. Bought the car and waiting to have the HiLo roof fitted. In the meantime I'm planning the electrics and sketching up the furniture. Before ordering all of the equipment I just wanted a second opinion on my design. Can I trust Sterling and the...

Lithium Batteries are the future, (keep checking back for the latest news/edits) ************************************************** Dellmassive`s -- "how I Done It" -- Thread ************************************************** Kit List And Stuff -- How I Done It & What I Use --...

For all you tech absorbers (@Dellmassive etc.)

What Leisure battery/batteries have you got? I'm looking to beef up the AUX 12v side of things, say up To 400Ah or more. Which will need a few extra batteries. So the question is, what have you got and where? Make, model, type and size. And most importantly post some pics. I'm planning on...
