No the LB is charged up to 12.7v on EHU. When I disconnected the DC DC from the van battery I was expecting it to go dead and then reset. But the app showed it still had 5.7v so it never reset. I was guessing that the LB was somehow providing power. Driving today the DC DC is still showing...

No disrespect, but surely these ought to have been the questions you asked the person you no doubt handed over a large wad of cash to for the conversion. You are asking the collective who can only second guess how it's all been put together & configured. The person to ask is the one who...

There are a lot of similar threads if you search for the common all in one brand names like "Sargent" https://www.t6forum.com/search/1444761/?q=Sargent+lithium&o=relevance It's in reach of DIY certainly, but you'll be handling potentially much higher currents than normal that will need some...

Hi all, My van has a leisure battery fed by the vans' normal charging system, with the switch to prevent overcharging etc. The problem is, in the winter with all the lights on and heater going, after a day, I need to start the van up and recharge the leisure battery as the EHU on sites merely...

Hi there. I'm not knowledgeable enough to really understand this. I'm yet to work out what has actually failed. I can a clamp meter, Are you able to suggest what check I can make? My set up is as follows: . Powerpart PDU . Leisure battery (get charged via a Sterling Unit - when engine...

As you use EHU then a 105ah is more than sufficient. The Roamer is a good price with great feedback of their support. I have the Fogstar and it’s been brill and £299 is an excellent price as it’s normally £369. Mine has been faultless so I’ve had no need to use their support but they were very...

The starter battery is indeed 70Ah but the leisure batteries are the ones in question - see below* with the amendment that one of mind is 70and not 75Ah. But regardless of size, have I a problem here? When the supplier has had 3 goes at a fix and tells me all is well, is what I describe above...

Interesting setup. I've not seen those elc power supplies before. So looks.like: Check d250 dc-dc charger, With additional solar panel connected to it. EHU with twin 12v power supplies. EHU fuse box, 12v fuse box, A 240v mains inverter of some discription. That seems to have a power...

Yes that's what it is for. If you are on EHU make sure the charger is on and it will support the 12v leisure system. As an 8A charger there may be times where the load draws more from the battery but it will likely balance out and recharge in the other times given you seem to have a modest load...

not a stupid question. . a lot of people get caught out when camping - even when on EHU that charges the LB. everyone always forgets about the starter battery - or just assumes that the EHU charger will charge the starter battery - its doesnt (with most standard installs using say a Sargent...

What do you have in your setup currently for EHU? What consumer unit? Any 240v sockets? The normal set up to charge leisure battery on hookup would be a 240v charger wired into the consumer unit, fed from hookup. Then connected to the LB with appropriate fuses. The DC-DC would be connected...

Yes it should. I’m presuming that none of the MCB, RCDs have tripped or there isn’t a blown fuse somewhere and all the 13a sockets in the van work.

I understand your thinking but I think you may be thinking too hard! :D LB isolator is primarily for totally isolating the LB for maintenance or the rare occasion you may want to turn the leisure system off completely. Solar panel isolator again is for maintenance and to prevent solar...

As Mentioned before . Post pi s of your setup... It will help us see what's going on. Post pics of all the battery. Chargers, inverters, 12v system. Cables etc etc. Then screenshots of your App and bm2. Etc ..... Fyi anyone camping in the van will get caught out with a flat starter...

The renogy inverter also has the option for passthrough EHU/SHU. So standard operating is it pulls from the batteries and when plugged into EHU/SHU it pulls from EHU/SHU. It's still reliant on an educated end user. For breakfast they will try run the induction hob on max setting for...

Yes it’s set up to charge leisure battery so looks like I only need to wire a panel into the ctek to top up my leisure battery when off grid.

Thanks for all the excellent guides and threads on starter battery charging/maintenance. With this method of charging the starter via the cigarette socket, are there any precautions to take charging the starter from a socket in the van when on EHU (or just straight from the mains for that...

There is certainly a strong argument for using something like an EcoFlow. If I was starting again, then I would probably do away with a leisure battery, but keep the EHU wiring, only with a dedicated hook up to either charge an EcoFlow when on EHU or power from it when off-grid.

Charged it. Came back from Germany and the van has been sat with the voltage going through the floor. I have a 10w solar thing in the dash which seems to be enough during summer, but not now, so hooked up EHU and plugged in the CTEK MXS 5. I turned off the leisure battery charger, as you can...

Right. I’ve been putting this off for a while but as it now affects my Dometic fridge and we’re looking to go on a trip to Europe this summer I need to tackle this. Been putting it off because electrics (and plumbing for that matter) are like the Dark Arts to me! So please bear with and excuse...
