sargent ec155

Hello all, I'm looking for any help and advice when installing the sargent ec155, I've read through the wiring diagram and I can understand a majority of it however I'm struggling to see how the connection is made between the ec155 and the leisure battery, the brown and blue wire is the 12v...

My Sargent EC155 isn't charging the Fogstar Lithium battery. I've checked the 15amp charger fuse on the Sargent and all the switches are up on the breaker. Read another post on here that says probably easier to install a direct charge solution as, the charger function of the Sargent is...

Hi I have an alarm going off on the Sargent panel when plugged into EHU and charger switched on. Beeping and flashing green light at top right - stops when disconnect EHU (which was connected to house socket - only way to stop it). Charger is EC155 and controller EC50. It also has a solar...

May seem a daft question. Hooked up to the mains to charge the leisure battery. I have the EC155 unit switched on. Does the control panel need to be switched on also? Also, does the vehicle battery recharge whilst hooked up?

Hi Newish to the forum (read loads) and had the van for a year or so now… Current leisure battery very smelly (rotten eggs) and not holding charge (drops to 11.4v within an hour of being charged) so assume it is knackered. Am planning to add solar in due course so thought I might as well...

Hi, Apologies if this has been asked before. We have a fully converted van fitted with the Sargent EC155 power control system so the electrics are pretty rudimental. We are planning to fit solar panels, a Victron DC-DC Charger and potentially and inverter charger with pass through function...

Hi all I've been running the Sargent EC155 for the last 5 years or so and it's done the job. I've just upgraded to a Lithium Fogstar battery from my lead acid LB and the Sargent now keeps alarming randomly for high voltage. I've not changed anything else and have read that the Sargent's don't...

afternoon all just wondering if anyone has a few minutes spare if they could advise me on the diagram I’ve been working on I’ve read a few threads and hopefully I’ve learnt something new to all this any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I have a fully converted van with a Sargent EC155 unit. I am wanting to leave that in place, but fit a new battery charger to cope with a new lithium battery. Has anyone done this? If so, any advice would be appreciated. Secondly, it looks like I will also have to replace my Sterling...

Just working out my electrics for my camper van build. Pretty new to this stuff so I’m sorry if I’m asking a obvious question. I’ve decided to go with a CTEK DC-DC charger and EC155 unit. Looking at EC155 diagram am I right in thinking I’ll just leave 7,5 and 6 disconnect since I have the...

Hi all Currently running this system on my 2017 T6 Euro 6: CTEK 250SA DC-DC Sargent EC155 Victron Smart Shunt Victron MPPT 75/15 120w Solar Panel System had been running fine, just back from a weekend away without issue, but on the school run yesterday the Sargent panel started alarming, the...

Hi all, So I am a novice when it comes to all things T6/Electrical, hoping to get some advice if possible. A little bit about the setup I can see in my T6. Bison BXC31MF Leisure battery Sargent EC155 Sargent EC50 control panel (no photo). Firstly, I cannot see anything else connected (split...

Hi All, I'm looking for some advice if you can help. I've recently purchased a T6 Highline converted camper and I have no clue what I should and shouldn't be doing to ensure that I manage and charge the leisure battery correctly. I've taken photos of what's been installed during the conversation...

Hi All, I’m looking to install a solar panel onto my t6 roof.. I’m wondering if anyone can help with how they’ve brought there cables into their van? Thanks

Help, booked to go away in 2 days. I plugged the hook up plug into mains adapter switched the EC155 to charge the battery and suddenly there was smoke coming from the top left of the EC155, it flicked the RCD down. I could smell electrical burning as well. Now all seems to be working but my...

Hi, so installing the CTEK DC-DC charger and Sargent EC155 this week. I am aware the CTEK needs to be attached to a switched live in fuse Board and have for a piggy back to do this. I believe middle row 3 Down? my question is the Sargent also needs a connection for running signal.... could I...

Hi All. Just joined yesterday. VW Camper-conversion owner, after some advice. I've had my VW Camper-conversion for over a year now with no issues at all, she runs like a dream. Recently been noticing issues with the power setup. It has Sargent EC155 PSU, Sargent EC50 panel and a PMW Solar Charge...

Hi I have looked at many articles and videos about how to charge a leisure battery, but my wonderings are so basic I don't think anyone has thought that this would have to be explained. I think someone needs to explain it to me like I'm a two year old who owns a T6. I have had the van for two...

Hi Looking at purchasing one of the following power management systems to keep every thing tidy and in one place, either the Sargent EC155/ec50 CBE PC180 Kit To power my camper conversion has anyone got any feed back on either of the two units or am I best to buy individual elements and build...

Searched around for the answer but can't find it. Just wondering if it is ok to leave the controller switched on all the time so that I can see the LB voltage, to make sure it's charging with the solar panel. (I mean I have a voltage digital display, not the level on the argent controller itself)
