Hi
Looking for a bit of help with the leisure battery upgrade. I have recently fitted solar on 2016 T6 also installed Victron dc-dc 12-12 30 under Passenger seat.
I am not sure which way to go regards lithium upgrade.
I had thought two Renogy 100’s as basically a swap out with not a great deal...
1,Adding another socket to run off EHU = pretty straightforward or easy depending on your skillset.
2, Swapping to Lithium, = also pretty straightforward or easy depends on your skillset, please take time to read through the forum, the subject has been covered to the Nth degree and all the info...
I’ve started to install my power upgrade and thought I would post a thread on it which might be useful for others thinking of upgrading to lithium.
I would like to point out that I am far from an expert on this and as much as I am capable of doing the installation I am totally reliant on the...

Renogy say you need 1x 100ah lithium per 1000w inverter power.
++++++++
they show 4awg cable for 3ft/1meter max. . .
which is 25mm2 for 1meter max.

and a 150A fuse to protect the cable,,
++++++++++++++
assuming you have a lithium battery - so running...
Nice one I've made a similar box with velcroed lid fitted behind the second row of seats and it holds my 200 ah lithium batteries, Victron charger, 1500 watt inverter, and 240v electrics.
How far do you think I should go with a Lithium replacement?
My 2018 t32 t6 is a pop-top conversion which has a factory fit diesel heater and 75Ah leisure battery under front seat and an independently wired 105Ah leisure battery system (VSR, EHU mains charger and EHU) in the rear supporting...
I'm switching out a knackered 85Ah lead battery for lithium.
My only requirement really is to run a nespresso coffee machine(!), which draws 1360 Watts, so I'm anticipating a 1500w inverter.
I've already got a Renogy 30A DC-DC charger to install. Planning on adding 150-200w solar soon, via the...
Hi all,
trying to buy electrics and i have tried searching through forum and Dellmassive's guides but i cant see much info in what im looking for specifically.
Originally i was going to go with battery under the drivers seat as most have advised, especially as having a swivel bench seat. The...
You'll be needing a bigger box! 50cm width.
I can see I'm going to end up donating this battery to the Forum for powering the Beer machine, Ice machine, and the new Cocktail making machine the girls have been talking about! Just need someone's spare 2000 watt inverter.
In the meantime, if...
Hmmm, I asked my converter about upgrading my AGM battery to a lithium and was told my CTEK 250SE isn’t up to the job so I’d have to change it and then also buy a solar controller, and if to make the most of the lithium I’d need to add an inverter. They also wanted to fit the Roamer seat base...
On a similar note
I have brought the Renogy 1000W inverter and hoping to mount under drivers seat, the leisure battery under passenger seat. Iv seen Renogy sell 5ft and 8ft inverter/ battery cables (for up to 2000w inverters) so I’m assuming my distance of just 3ft between my battery (160ah...
Hi - Totally new to this
I have ordered a Fogstar Drift 105A Lithium, A Victron 12/375 Inverter, Victron 12 - 12 -30A DC DC Charger and Victron IP65 12/25A Charger for my Kombi.
Obviously cables etc for connection.
NO Shunts...... Do I need shunts? or Similar? The battery has Blue tooth as...
I had asked the same question, also having the 1000W Renogy, I had read the inverter could switch on and off when 240 was detected. I took roadtrippers advice at the time and fitted a separate single dedicated socket, leaving the twin 240 socket to be powered only when on EHU.
Having installed a...
Not the best advise, yes the Ctek will run a lithium, the only downside is they cannot wake one up if it’s flat.
What is your usage, how long off grid etc
Drop us a pm or call if you want to talk through some options
not sure id choose either of those. . . to have in the same van im sleeping in.?
id be more interested in the safety of the battery,
what cells are they using
what bms are they using?
expected cycle life?
low temp charge protection?
APP for the BMS,?
........
you get what you pay for with...
I have brought the Renogy 1000w inverter, with built in change over switch. I’m hoping to mount the inverter under drivers seat, and use this to power up the 240v socket/s when not on EHU.
Inverter power use will be 6 minutes at 400-500w ( hot choc velvetiser ) Two cups worth!
Our 160ah...
Posting this thread to document my upgrade from AGM to Lithium, which includes the install of a whole lot of extras and a long cable run to a 2Kw inverter.
It's been an equally frustrating and enjoyable process to get to where I am, I've learnt a lot and have a much better understanding of...
I’m after some advice on how best to charge our river 2 pro when away (off grid) during the colder dark months, (in summer we use the portable solar panel)
We have a Roamer 160 lithium leisure battery and a Renogy 1000w inverter under the passenger seat base, the single outlet socket in 3...
