We have a 100Ah lithium and a similar setup to the OP re. Fridge/lights/heater etc. we also have a solar panel. We’ve never run out of battery power, but we do have to manage it when off grid. Minimum lights on etc. so a 105 is doable, the flip side being that no-one has ever complained about...
...includes premium features that many lower-priced vans simply don't have, including:
Double induction hob (no gas system)
EcoFlow DELTA 2 lithium power system with alternator charger
200W solar panel
Vehicle battery trickle charger
Skyline Scenic pop-top
112cm RIB bed with ISOFIX
Hot water...
...and a soft close drawer system, all complemented by custom upholstery and Vanshades blinds throughout.
Additional camper features include a lithium electric system with EcoFlow DELTA 2 power bank and alternator charger, 200W solar panel, SavvyVans digital control panel, diesel heater, hot...
Perhaps you could also compare with an Ecoflow, Bluetti, Anker, Jackery etc as another option.
Note also - check the cycle count for the lithiums. The newer LiFePo4 ones do around 4000 cycles
That looks good value! Most brands at the moment have a few weeks lead times. I really need to make a decision haha
How was it secured down under the driver sea?
Yeah plan is if I go for the bigger battery it to have it under the driver seat and then all the other bits under the passanger...
I bought this one, but it's gone up about £80 since I got mine in April:

Yeah it's under driver's seat, nothing else fits in there with...
...they need to remove, refit seats etc.
My question is, is it beyond the realms of a fairly competent DIYer to replace the AGM battery with Lithium, add a MPPT controller and fit a cable to connect to the portable solar panel? Will the new battery need coding.
In fact, another question...

Based on the above, I assume I would need the following to accommodate a lithium upgrade that will suit;
Lithium Battery (looking at 300Ah)
50A DC-DC Charger
2000W Inverter
240v Battery Charger? Not sure if this is needed...
I went with 230Ah, go large or go home 🥸 ... or get in contact with @Rioja John and buy his two 100Ah lithium batteries for the £140 asking price.:thumbsup:
105Ah under-seat lithium battery will be about right for your list above as its a daily driver the 50A DC-DC will charger it in no time. I have not limited mine and runs at 50amps without problems. Enjoy
...middle of converting my 2018 VW T6 and have reached the point of choosing the leisure battery.
Originally I was set on a 105Ah under-seat lithium battery, but I'm now wondering whether it's worth spending the extra money and fitting a 230Ah under-seat battery instead.
My planned setup is...
...like material on bottom. I am 6’4” and can stand up fine.
The top bed has 2 reading lights with USB chargers
Electrics:
100ah Renogy lithium battery (new 2025)
200w Renogy Flexible Solar Panel
Victron solar charger, DC and AC chargers (chargers whilst driving, solar and hook up)...
Flippin typical! jus had my set up changed to Lithium as killed the old lead acid leisure battery, I'd deffo of had these off you, in sunny Stoke as well!:cool: bargain for someone GLWS
Noco’s are Lithium Ion not LiFePo4, at least mine is.
Lithium Ion is less stable when overheated, same goes for all the tool batteries in uninsulated panel vans.
That said I have worked in just over 50 deg C with power tools and nothing failed, but there wasn’t a choice.
For the TLDR folk, this is the bit on LifePo4 batteries in use in the UK during spring/summer…
“If occasional heatwaves occur, with temperatures exceeding 30°C, implement cooling measures such as fans or shading to prevent the batteries from overheating above 35°C.”
