I’m fitting a Fogstar Drift 105ah to replace a traditional battery that I killed over the summer, running it flat. Current system comprises CTEK D250SA for battery to battery and a 100w PV Logic solar panel routed it through a Victron 100/15 solar controller. Initially I had used the CTEK but then upgraded with the Victron to get bluetooth information.
I know I will need to set the CTEK and Victron to a lithium charging profile, however the van came with a PMS charging system which wont have a lithium charging profile. My question is do I need to replace the PMS brute or can I ignore the fact that when on mains hookup it wont fully charge the leisure battery?
Most of my camping is festival weekends, 3-4 days and I'm fairly sure my fridge and lights will be fine. If while on hookup will my solar panel 'top up' what's not being provided by the old PMS? Or might I be damaging the battery?
