...Fuse box, with the below 12v items:
40w TV
18W Waterpump/Tap
2.5KW Diesel Heater
65w 12V fridge
18w USB Ports
4w LED lights
I've got a 300ah lithium battery, 2 x 100W Solar Panels with a 30a controller and a 60ah DC to DC charger.
Does this set up look okay? Anything to change?
Thank you!! :)
If I were you I'd be happier knowing what is installed and how it's connected and protected. So assuming you have EHU, does this go to a consumer unit with 230V breakers? If so can you identify what is on each of the breakers? Mine has a main incomer breaker then three separate circuits - one...
...as don’t want a panel on the roof.
Now may question to the hive mind is I have installed as per requirement for smart alternator and lithium profile for charging but when running I get the following lights. Have I messing something up? 12v ign live installed and battery select wire to 12v+...
...I have a Victron dc/dc charger, so from what I've understood, there's no reason I can't swab my current lead 110ah (c100) battery for a 100ah lithium one? I understand the Victron settings will need to be changed.
Also, I don't think I have a EHU charger (or I certainly can't find it if I...
That would definitely be much better. You would get a lot more useable capacity as you can charge the lithium to 100% and discharge almost fully.
Another low cost option, for completeness, is to fit an Ablemail trickle charger, that uses the leisure battery to top up the starter battery.
You...
I understand. Maybe the best way is to install the CTEK to the oem second battery and replace that battery with a lithium one? And just use that to power the fridge, lights and USB ports?
Like this: T6.1 factory aux battery split charge relay upgrade & solar panel install.
It’s a Ctek d250se so maxes out at 20A but I also have a lithium battery with built in monitor so can see how much it’s being charged. Or could there still be more current drawn into the b2b charger even if not pushing out?
The fuse is about 1ft after the terminal and I think like 30A but would...
This is typical of a high resistance connection, any resistance no matter how small contributes to the heating effect. There is a formula to demonstrate this effect. Power (watts) = current (amps) squared x resistance (ohms). So 20 amps squared is 400, if you have 2 ohms at your connection the...
...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...
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...
