    T6.1 SOS Error: emergency call. Workshop!

    Hoping it might be useful to share my experience so far and progress towards fixing it myself - I'm adamant VW are not making a penny out of me for a problem that they engineered in and made especially tedious to fix.... In the first case, both of these videos were helpful to my understanding...

    Upgrade to lithium battery, what do I need to change on my Sargent EC155 mains charger?

    I went with the Sterling Dc Dc charger unit instead of the Victron because the Sterling unit also takes a Solar feed.

    Upgrade to lithium battery, what do I need to change on my Sargent EC155 mains charger?

    I have the same set up as you banksey88, Sargent EC155, sterling B to B1230 and solar mppt. I changed over to a lithium battery before last summer. I changed the charging profile of the Sterling B to B and the mppt. I left the Sargent as it is . The lithium leisure battery charges up fine. I...

    Upgrade to lithium battery, what do I need to change on my Sargent EC155 mains charger?

    We have charged our AGM battery through the Sargent on EHU for 6 years, they took the charge no problem. We are getting 2 batteries fitted next week (one to replace the current battery under the passenger’s seat and one additional one under the drivers seat). Do you find the 2 AGMs give you...

    Upgrade to lithium battery, what do I need to change on my Sargent EC155 mains charger?

    ...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 portable folding solar panel. I also have +ve and -ve tails from battery to...

    Future proof solar and sizing dc-dc

    For the charger amp rating, check what your battery says... My Renogy 100ah lithium says to charge it at 50A for instance.

    Future proof solar and sizing dc-dc

    I am not an expert, but your battery choice is lithium, and AI says this: Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries charge optimally at 20–50% of capacity. For my 100Ah battery as an example: 0.5C = 50A — This is the typical maximum recommended charge current for everyday use 0.3C = 30A — The "sweet spot"...

    Am I looking for a layout that doesn't exist?

    ...Take a look at https://www.t6forum.com/threads/leisuredrive-vivante-review-and-photos.19116/ The electrics are a bit dated. I had a Lithium and chargers installed elsewhere. Also the elevating roof isn't very suitable for solar when it is up, it's a lot steeper than a standard or reverse...

    Feedback on proposed electric configuration

    230ah lithium will run the fridge and lights for a good few days. The diesel heater is the unknown, it depends how much you use it.

    Permanent 12V DC install for Starlink Mini

    ...a bit of a faff. I’m looking to do a permanent, tidy install on my T6 and run the Starlink directly from my leisure battery (290Ah Fogstar lithium, 185W solar), so no inverter or 230V plug involved. The plan is: Battery → Fuse → Switch → DC-DC boost converter → cable through waterproof roof...

    Solar wiring question.

    Thanks for your explanation. I just wanted to make sure all was well with the wiring and I wasn’t missing anything. Thanks very much 👍

    Solar wiring question.

    ...the load output Via the battery... When the battery starts running flat the controller will switch off the load output and save the battery from dropping too low. More so for AGM/Sli battery's that will be damaged if they drop to low in voltage. Not so important for modern lithium battery's.

    Thoughts on this layout

    Hi guys, Does this 1200w inverter look like it has enough space? The black tray behind it will be a 280ah lithium battery. And then the black panel will have the usual chargers etc. Is ventilation sufficient? And does anyone know if it exhausts where the cables go in, of the back? Thanks...
