    Charging leisure battery from portable solar panels

    ...be an absolute minimum, I would be more inclined to go for a 200 watt panel... With a victron mppt solar controller. As for the size of lithium battery the 105 amp hour we'll double your runtime versus your AGM, but if you can go up to the 230 am power that will be much better. Your dc dc...

    Charging leisure battery from portable solar panels

    ...cover, swivelling chairs etc.) for the sole purpose of having to charge up the battery. I am looking to replace the leisure battery with Lithium, on the basis that even if I opt for a 105Ah, this will effectively double the use. A 230Ah seat base would be ideal however. Additionally, I'm...

    Fogstar 230ah seat base battery set up help

    ...just because your car had a shed load of power. I've possibly got the same B2B/MPPT unit, a Renogy DCC50S and all you need then is a mains to lithium charger and possibly an Able Mail trickle charger from your leisure back to your starter battery... that's if you camp with the doors open, car...

    Victron Battery Charger

    ...the current limit....IE 15A to keep that 16mm2 cable cool. They have auto engine run detection as well so you don't need a ignition feed. And have charge profiles.for AGM & Lithium etc. Plus the same BT APP and the EHU charger. Take a look at the this example. https://amzn.to/3PcFhfb .

    Victron Battery Charger

    Thank you @Dellmassive . I'm happy to cut the plug off. My aim is to switch to lithium. I'm just trying to sort how to get a DC - DC chsrger in using my split charge wiring, which is doable given the 16mm2 cable, but again, housing issues.

    Victron Battery Charger

    If I was I you, I would just swap the charger as it is (fit in the clipboard).. And swap the AGM for a Lithium. Yes the manual says don't fit next to the battery as SLA batteries can gas off explosive fumes, - but that's standard advice. And all will say to have ventilation for any charger...

    Victron Battery Charger

    The victron is awesome. The ip65 version is waterproof and silent. The ip22 version has a fan but only comes on when it hot....it also have a night mode to disable the fan. And both versions have BT and App for settings and monitoring. Thats why they are the best.. I've got both. Currently...

    Victron Battery Charger

    ...It's in a cupboard right next to my head when I sleep and the fan is on/off through the night. Ultimately I'm looking to upgrade to 100ah lithium, so I was going to swap the Numax anyway as it doesn't support I've seen the Victron IP22 and IP65. I presume 10-15a is best? Any thoughts on...

    Leisure Battery issues

    Lithium will depend on what your current charging setup is. Do you know if you have a b2b or split charge setup? B2B will be much better for either lithium or agm batteries. Also I guess you don’t have solar on the roof so should look at a mains charger for topping up your leisure battery when...

    Leisure Battery issues

    Thanks for your reply. No you're absolutely right it's not clamped or strapped down. I've been looking at the Eco-Worthy 12v 100AH LifePo4 Lithium battery, do you think I could just swap them over or does the lithium battery need a different relay or wiring setup.? The Yuasa L28 EFB is also on...

    You can even leave the factory split charge relay in place and put the B2B in series with the relay and battery.

    Lithium

    Pretty easy to burn your van out with 12v DC, if it’s not your thing I’d really advise getting a professional to do it.

    Lithium

    You can change to lithium, but how simple or otherwise it may end up being depends on your current set up. Do a search or the forum, lots of info on these hallowed pages.

    Camping battery setup - change from default setup

    Agree, if you already have a factory leisure you’re in a really good position to just replace that and the relay with a lithium battery and DC-DC charger. All the cables you need are already there under the seat - including the engine run cable that triggers the relay which can be hooked...
