I do wonder if we will see separation in lithium based batteries at some point to have ones that are capable of the massive currents but also some that are a little less enthusiastic and maybe a little safer for more leisure power supply roles? With the notable exception of those wanting to run...

Mine isn't the neatest install but you'd be amazed what you can fit, with a bit of planning... Fogstar 230Ah LiFePO4 battery Orion XS 50a DC-DC 100/20 MPPT Smart shunt Cerbo GX 2x fuse boxes 2x isolator switches That's all under the passenger seat. Under my driver's seat is the 15a 240v...

nice. . . . we`ll be needing a build thread on that. 1000ah of lithium, now thats got me thinking. . . . . . . 10x100`s?, 2x400`s + 2x100`s?, 4x 230`s. hmm? plus a Victron Multiplus 3Kva 12v/120. but space,space,space.. . . thats always the compromise in a T6. next upgrade - Crafter lol...

The stories you hear about lithium battery fires are largely Lithium-ion batteries such as those used in scooters, vapes etc. A decent lithium leisure battery will be a LiFePO4 which is a far more stable and safer technology. Definitely worth reading up on the difference to allay your worries...

make sure your cables are fat enough to run 50A. post a pic of the cables and the fuse holders, and any writing on the cable to the starter battery etc.

I had a very similar experience with a factory second battery in my previous T5 work van. Tool charging/kettle (low wattage camping type)/microwave etc. I mullered the battery after 12 months & VW didn't want to know as I had "abused it". Another problem that I discovered, was that due the...

The recommendation is 100ah of lithium per 1000w inverter. So that means 200ah for the 2000w. The reasons are two fold... Usually the max discharge rate of a 100ah lithium is 100A, so you would need two battery's to provide 100-200A. The second reason is run time... When pulling large loads...

startup surge could be double. @czmate1999 runs a small microwave. i think runs twin 100ah lithiums and a 2000w inverter. @czmate1999 - whats size inverter is yours?

no it wont void the warranty if its done properly. ( I've always had inverters and leisure battery systems and its never been questioned about warranty) as above add up the watts of the kit you want to run. . . ie - 1000w then multiply by the amount of time you plan on using them . . . ie...

I should have added that I'm powering it with a Roamer 100am lithium battery with 160 watt solar panel. I'm thinking I should probably go for this which seems good value: https://uk.renogy.com/1000w-12v-to-230v-240v-pure-sine-wave-inverter-with-english-standard-socket-with-ups-function/

Same usage as me and mine will run indefinitely in summer even with only overcast daylight (105ah Fogstar Drift battery and 200w panel). Worst case in winter with little/no solar and a couple of hours heater per night I’ll still get 3-4 days off-grid. Do double check that the wiring and fuses...

In the first instance I could see something like a repurposed EV battery working in an off grid garden office with solar and the battery configured to output normal mains voltage to allow for conventional electrical accessories and appliances on the inverter output and thinner cables from the...

Spot on. I will definitely be looking into it early next year. Thank you for all the info. Very much appreciated.

You cant swap out the smart alternator for dumb unfortunately. (Most T6 alternators are 140A or 180A) Look at upgrading the 20A CTEK to a 50A Renogy DC-DC charger. (There are also 60A DC-DC available now.) Also look at swapping out the AGM for a 100Ah lithium, or even two. Or look at the...

Cheers brother ill get one ordered now. We have shore power in the van also so the inverter will give us a bit more flexibility when off grid and when I eventually upgrade the battery i may let the wife dry her hair!

ok, so it may make more sense for me to have a thicker cable go from starter battery to rear wheel-arch area in unit so that everything else is close together. that way i can get one lithium now and have space to add additional lithium down the line if needed. i best research how much cable i...

Bags of room there!:thumbsup: Be aware of the currents involved with the various bits of kit and cable sizes required. Under my driver's seat I've got a Renogy DCC50S for the b2b and mppt combined, a small fuse board for the fridge and Webasto, bigger fuses for the battery the inverter (mounted...

One or two things I have noticed on this thread.. In your first post you said Victron suggested their 20A charger, I suspect this was because your original plan was to use AGM batteries, Victron have been correct in limiting the charge current to AGM's as they don't take well to high current...

Even with Lithium, running heavy 240V loads is wishful thinking. People think that Lithium is a magic pill for all their off grid needs, but unless you have a LOT of lithium, it isn’t. Lithium is just another storage medium, it’s a reservoir of power & it’s only as good as the source(s) that...

Unless you are really going to stretch the capacity with sustained off grid use or you just like lots of data then probably not. That's a good set of kit, though I'd go for the smaller and cooler running Orion XS DC-DC and downrate in software. If you find you do need one they are reasonably...
