Thanks. Don’t worry I will be nipping your head on exactly what I need to buy before I buy anything :D :p Could see me biting the bullet and splashing out on 2 lithium batteries with low temp protection and changing the charger to B2B, keeping my Sargent, disabling the EHU on it and fitting...

@spenny_b yay, im back . . . they gave us a T-Rock to play with will the van is in, so . . . . . swapping out the AGM for a lithium is a no brainer, stick with a known brand, and try to get as bigger unit as possible, http://renogyuk.refr.cc/leenash https://www.fogstar.co.uk/...

Thanks, picture attached. Had a read of the monitoring thread you posted, is it best to have 2 BM2, one for each battery? Also can you give me recommended settings for the Orion charger, the battery presets are a bit confusing non of them seem to be straightforward, so I’m thinking it will...

LiFOs is a Lithium battery . . what are you using to charge it? . . . . Sargent panel 12v output? - is this how its been working before?

I've got a 67 plate Redline camper and happy enough with the majority of the conversion which dates from late 2018 but they hadn't really got a clue with the leisure electrics on a Euro 6 van. Mine had a split charge relay and that Sargent EC160 unit which is underwhelming, the trouble is if you...

Lol i feel ya pain, I’ve been following advice and get carried away with £££ toting up !!! Want to go with lithium battery and 50a DC/DC and see how the off grid works out. Hopefully the EHU via Sargent will used as back up?

@Stay Frosty . . . have you got your own build thread? - so we can look at your setup? FYI the Sargent isnt a smart battery charger . . . . its just a 12v Power Supply. - which is why its not good at charging battery's . . . especially Lithium's.

Lithium battery itself works but the associated App for monitoring SOC, voltage etc. doesn’t work. The only way of knowing battery status is via the vague indication given by the Sargent readout. Emails and multiple calls to LiFOS have been ignored - very poor customer service for a product...

depends if it can charge to 14.6v and if it has a lithium profile. post some pics of the EHU charger . . . like @Spaghetti said above the Sargent and other camper power units are just 12v power supplies, i dont know if they can charge a AGM or Lithium properly.

Hi Ian, Amateur here. Will try and help until a pro comes along.... Do you have any monitoring? Like a Victron BMV712? Most Lithium batteries will not accept charge below around 5 degrees. Is the BMS built into the battery? If so it could have stopped charge being allowed. What is the Sargent...

Hi Ian, That is exactly the reason I have a Lithium battery in my garage and not in my van! If it is a Sargent EC155, I wouldn't use that at all on Lithium. That unit will not be good for the battery. My son has one in his camper and it is useless. All it does is pump out the 15A or 20A to the...

Hi Dean, When on hook up the leisure battery is charged via the Sargent unit. I made a mistake above - on hook up I plug in to the 240V socket and then straight to the LiFOS via a charger under the seat. This latter should allow for 100% charging I think whereas via the Sargent it’s only 80%...

Explain how that won't work Lee as I've already killed the SLA leisure battery that came with my camper and will no doubt cook the replacement too unless told with a big stick exactly which b2b charger I should be using and how to incorporate that with the Sargent's built in hook up battery...

Hello. i'm back from my first 4 night off grid camp (blue dot festival). I have two solar panels into a C-Tek 250. My van is a T6. I have a small fridge (Indel-B), all LED lighting and also recharged devices, ran a fan for about 1 hour, made about 16 brews with my electric brew maker. My...

Put a lithium battery in the mix with a decent BMS & it’ll protect itself from over discharge. No external gubbins necessary.

NEW Product. NDS Tripple charger . . . https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/nds-power-service-gold-30-m-triple-charger-30a-dc-dc-20a-mains-250w-solar.html looks interesting for a Tripple - maybe a cheap option? though its PWM solar - not MPPT (250w / 28voc max) its 30A DC-DC charger its 20A...

The Sargent isn't a battery charger, it's just a power supply. You can get yourself a proper smart charger with lithium profile to use with EHU etc

@Dellmassive thank you for your time & help. Yes I uninstalled then re installed the app to no avail. I’ve had problems with the LiFOS app before and to be honest my Sargent unit has always been unpredictable - it has always let out random series of beeps (will post vid - edit, won’t let me) -...

Hi, my CTEK 250sa was installed just before the lithium compatible CTEK was released - over 2 years ago. As far as I’m aware it works fine but is only capable of charging the battery to 80% as opposed to the se which will charge to 100%. The installer did make sure there was a direct charging...
