Ouch. So there it is going behind the panel presumably currently moulded together with the red wire which must go off to the smart alternator via a crimp connector or something. The manual says both wires are all of 20cm long! The positive battery terminal is currently at least 30cm away.

One thing to check if you are going lithium is you need to find where the battery setting wire from the CTEK is as that will need changing to change the charge profile. Make sure you can find that while you have good access.

...if you've got the Fogstar by then they are a popular option and you could move it on in the forum quite easily. And for a confidence boost @NicolasH was kind enough to post an update on a very similar change they did...

...of mind knowing you can go for days without having to worry about running out of charge, and damaging the battery. By the time we had driven the 80 miles home it was fully recharged. If anyone is thinking about upgrading to a lithium leisure battery, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks for this, it's all very new to me so I'm starting at the bottom. I'm installing 240v electrics very soon, so on site will be okay, it's just the off grid side of things I'm unfamiliar with

...to a Lifepo4 battery rather than lead acid as our Waeco fridge draws up to 4.5 amps at 12 volts and hammers a typical 110 Ah leisure battery in a weekend during summer. Similarly if you replace that Ctek then get something that will do B2B and solar that includes a lithium charger profile too.

...Ease of removal no doubt due to age and lack of mileage) - Cleaned Sensor location by wiping with rag and blowing - Applied small amount of Lithium Grease to top half of new Sensor part that goes into the ‘hole’ and then fitted - Secured with bolt - Reconnected Loom after checking condition...

What’s involved with this? And can it be bought as a kit? I’m coming from caravaning and what a super basic system. I have thought the portable battery pack is the way, but why I’m at carpeting point in the build I am thinking a basic EHU system is going to be worthwhile? Many thanks

As a rough guestimate that will run the heater for 5.8 hours before the delta2 runs to 0%.

Very true, I'm looking at about a 25% duty cycle with the thermostat. Then add in the 230ah lithium battery that will be used to trickle charge the delta2 upto 8A or 100w.... Then with two.... 230+230ah = 460ah ( that's 5520wh). Assuming we fit both... Run the numbers on that and see...

...but I guess my point is tech is cool but let's not forget that folks were going away for a week in a field in a T2 just fine when the word lithium only meant medication or a fancy grease. Our family holiday used to be 2 caravans in a farmers field with the only fuel being 2 CampingGaz 907s...

That looks like ctek d250sa? The SA is the older version The d250se is the newer version that add a lithium battery charge profile. That's a 20A ish DC-DC charger from the engine when running. It also has the ability to have a solar panel connected to it.

Two seatbase batteries?!?, bloody hellfire you're going to end up with more lithium on board than an ID Buzz at this rate... Good plan topping up the EcoFlow, though in my book I'd never describe 100w as "trickle charge" :p

...battery being discharged by the domestic circuits. The BCDC1250D supports all battery types (wet and sealed lead-acid, AGM, Gel, calcium and Lithium) and uses multi-stage charging technology to ensure 100% full charging, maximising the performance and life of your batteries. It is...

...feature where it disconnects the internal battery if not used for 30days, then you need to plug the charger in to reactivat it - so the lithium battery is as fresh as a daisy. you get the unit, charger + the 3rd party carry case. goes to the highest offer/bidder . . . . . . . . ...

...on/off in the mornings and evenings.. so example battery voltage 12.2v - the mppt wont turn until it sees a PV voltage of 17.5v ++++++++++++ the solar shed has a 12v lithium setup with no dc-dc charger. but the van has DC-DC charger and solar MPPT, - the same testing applies for both systems.

lets start getting some bits in . . . . we already have a few lithium batterys around, so that sorted, ... next us is the DC-DC Charger, I've decided to go for a Victron Orion XS 12/12/50, a 50A charger that can me current limited via the app and is very configurable, and also doesnt...

Those old chargers are not suitable for charging lithium. But you could as you say connect to the starter battery (alt input on the Renogy) and let it charge the starter. At some point the Renogy will kick in and start charging the LB. The Renogy will cycle on,/off as the starter battery...

Hi all, I've taken the plunge with lithium leisure battery and and Renogy DC-DC charger. (On a T5.1 so regular alternator) I don't have a mains battery charger on board. I'd like to have something so when I'm on ehu both batteries will be charged. I do have a spare very old 8amp car battery...

I had one of these before I moved onto DC-DC chargers. It's not a battery maintainer, it's just a big relay and not to be used with lithium battery's So not suitable for this application.
