...been in its own threaded stud so maybe it was arcing? It’s worth me adding this didn’t happen for over a year until recently I upgraded to a Lithium leisure battery which can be charged at 20A instead of the average 6A or so my Lead acid was being charged at. Perhaps this increase in current...

Mind sharing a simple step by step on getting the DC-DC in, instead of the split charge?

Same, any luck?

To swap out the AGM battery for the lithium battery. You should change the charge profile on all of your charge sources over to lithium. So the dcdc charger, the solar mppt charger and the noco ehu charger only changing over to lithium profile. The noco and Stirling can be done by pressing...

I've been charging mainly through solar. All settings changed to Lithium. I also have a Victron IP22 and had already changed the settings there too. Also have a max of 30A on the Victron XS. I've emailed eco-worthy too so.will see what they say.

How did you charge the battery? Do you have a mains hook up charger and if so did you change the settings on that to lithium profile? If it was from alternator charging via the Victron XS DC to DC, did you reduce the the max charge rate on the Victron? I've got a Victron XS 50 and a Fogstar...

Hi, I've wanted to upgrade to lithium for a while now but finally bit the bullet and bought a Eco-worthy 100Ah with Cold shutoff and Bluetooth BMS. I also purchased a Victron Orion XS to replace a Durite split charge relay that I believe wasn't particularly good with the previous AGM battery I...

...able to run the ceiling fans which run off the back heater blower assembly in my VW T6 off an alternative battery (I have an ECOFLOW delta 2 lithium power station). Anyone know how I could either bypass or intercept the power supply so I can run it off the ECOFLOW instead of the Van's main...

What lithium did you get? Where is it located, was it easy to get at?

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...

@EAN Many thanks for confirming that. I just drilled the rivet out but have discovered that the VW fuses are not the same dimensions as Midi types. The VW holes are 35mm apart whilst the Midis are smaller. VW must fit a non-standard fuse type. A bit of filing and I managed to make it fit.

Yep, riveted, as the whole fuse unit was incompatible with my Lithium and only one fuse was actually in use, I just discarded it. If you must use it then drill the rivet out and replace with nut and bolt.

Hi @dbrock how did you get on swapping the Durite VSR. I've got the same VSR and just purchased the Orion XS to connect with a Renogy 100Ah lithium along with a victron smart shunt. My other gear is a Victron IP22 and 100/20 MPPT. Is it straightforward to change?

Not necessarily - this is why I don't like these chargers, critical indicators are used for multiple things. If you remove power from the charger so it restarts it should show the battery config for around 10 seconds. You will then see the battery type as a flashing indicator in the top set of...

I really don't know, the settings are a total minefield, I need to get them somewhere right as don't want to ruin me new battery or anything worse of course!

Isn’t that showing Lithium?

...the usable capacity (can discharge to around 10% not 50% safely) On the downside things you need to consider: All your chargers need to be lithium capable, your solar, your DC-DC and your EHU. If you are moving from an "all in one" with a basic fixed voltage PSU and split charge relay then...

New leisure battery technology is lithium iron phosphate LiFePO4, not the lithium batteries in scooters that you see in the news catching fire and burning your home down. It’s much safer as long as it is fused properly and correct wire gauge used. You shouldn’t worry about changing over as it is...
