Life after a T6 camper

[Pete C]

A quick update. I have now converted the van over to a Lithium leisure battery, with appropriate Victron solar and B2B chargers. You have to work around the installed Sargent equipment, which can be fun when it is installed behind panels etc.
It looks like Autotrail have moved with the times, and the latest vehicles appear to have proper B2B chargers. Still a small capacity lead acid battery though.
Still loving the van.

What lithium did you get?

Where is it located, was it easy to get at?

I fitted a Fogstar ECO Drift 105Ah. It's actually very similar in size to the 75Ah (!) Lead Acid battery fitted as standard. In the Expedition 68, the leisure battery is under the bench seat used for additional passengers, so pretty accessible.
