I have sargent ec155 also, and upgraded to twin Agm 100a batteries. I pulled the sargent charging fuse and fitted a Sterling Dc Dc charger unit with Solar input. The Sterling unit allows to set battery profiles, agm, lithium etc. It also manages the Solar input and alternator charging. I use a...

...Sagent is using the blue and brown for. I suspect they're monitoring wires and if so maybe that's fine if not exactly professional but if the Sargent is using them for load then the wire gauge is inadequate. I guess looking at the Sargent manual and the pins those wires are connected to will...

...Orion tr-smart DC/DC converter and a solar charge controller connected to leisure battery, usual EHU connected to fused consumer unit with Sargent PF200 switching Battery Charger and two 240V sockets. Could I just swap the Sargent for a charger/inverter such as Victron energy MultiPlus...

...home and pulled all the fuses and they were ok so I got a car charger and connected it to the wires which would connect to what would be the Sargent output. At this point the battery was charging so I’m guessing the Sargent might have died unless there isn’t any power to that which I guess...

Hi - exploring my new van this morning, in particular the electrics. The setup is a Sargent EC155 with EC50 control panel paired with a Victron BMV700 monitor and a Sterling Power B2B unit. Still trying to get my head around the setup and the differences between the Victron and the EC50 for...

I have issue that i resolved, posting here incase it can help others. i had ALL lights on the ec50 controller come on at once then all power off- almost like alarm warning and shut down. I pulled out all fuses on the EC155 controller then put them all in again- issue resolved. Background on my...

Yes your description is correct

The earth stud on the back of the Sargent unit, on my unit the earth from the 12v connector goes there also then earth from this stuff to the chassis, should this be on the load side of the shunt rather than directly to chassis or will I be mixing the AC and DC grounds this way? I presume as all...

What's your battery? Lithium? But yes, the Victron presumably is there to replace the Sargent mains charging facility. The Sargent therefore is now just for distribution of the 12 and 240v.

...on with this, I have decided to also install a Victron mains charger, and as much as I thought I would simply use one of the mcb's on the Sargent unit, I can't work out where I am meant to pick up the output on the Sargent? The 240v output connector on the back has 3 sets of outputs, 1 for...

This might be of help as gives you an idea of how things are probably connected up Ec150

Slow day at work. Is the red charger switch on on the Sargent box? Mind you I’m frequently on hookup with solar and the Sargent both charging without any issues.

sooo many problems with these crappy sargent units, I'm gonna rip the whole lot out and install a new victron dc/dc, new mains charger and a lifepo4 battery. I'll replace the old sargent control panel with a cbe type affair and add a battery monitor, light swiches and pump switch. New small...

...considering this upgrade in the next month or two. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I actually need? I currently have a Sargent EC 176 PSU and EC365 panel with the lead battery. From what I can find, I need: Battery DC-DC charger? New PSU? wiring and things I can figure out I...

As CAB said your Sargent charger is connected to the output side of your consumer unit. From there it only feeds the leisure battery but also supports any 12 volt consumption. There is no connection to 240 volt other than the connection to power the charger. However, depending on who built the...

...Fogstar Drift app I can only see a charge rate of 2A though, so even a 2 hour drive only gives me a 2% extra charge in the battery. I have a Sargent EC155 power control unit in the back which was originally wired with a Voltage Sensitive relay which I replaced with the Orion DC-DC charger a...

...close your battery? I’d not considered doing that as I don’t have a socket near my battery, but something I could look to do as an option. I think I was hoping to use the output wires from my Sargent unit to the battery, but not yet sure if that is feasible and if the cable sizing is correct...

Afternoon all! If its the Sargent panel - same as i have in mine like this:- Then, the battery status is given based on voltage alone like this:- Is this the same panel you have in your van? With regards to the engine shutdown detection, you just need to change the shutdown detection...

Do you have a Sargent control system in a cupboard somewhere? Looks like this the pic below It has separate fuses for each circuit such as internal lights. Under the flap on left hand side

Finally said goodbye to my Sargent EC155 and old AGM LB and hello to my Frogstar Drift LiPO4 305amp battery. Work in progress but cut a big hole in the wardrobe base to drop the battery in. Fits perfectly. Will make a matching lid and figure out how to connect all the necessary wires that fed...
