I use the Renogy dc50s for dc-dc charging, with a lithium. (, With the app) And even though it does solar, that splits the power 50/50 when you add a solar connection. I use a seperate Victron mppt. As they are the best when used with the app. I had the Orion, but sold it on, preferring to...

MC4 pv connectors come on the panels. Then you follow the male, female, male, female all the way to the controller. You need to use a multimeter to confirm the polarity .... Connecting up wrong could damage kit. .. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/guide-solar-cables-how-i-did-it.28470/ ...

running any panel direct to a battery is not realy a good idea. esspecialy is its not fused or has a internal blocking diode. as you say you can run it through a solar controller to get around that problem. . . either PWM or the better MPPT controllers. . also on that note 20W is very low...

Hi, how did this work out for you? I'm looking to do something very similar, any info/tips/pics would be appreciated. Cheers Gary

The panel is: https://vanjunkies.co.uk/products/nds-energy-semi-flexible-solar-panel-12v-200w-rear-junction-box-lse200br Not cheap, but there other on here that have different makes that work well. Hardest part was removing old panel that was rubbish and the glue used!!!!!! It´s been on now...

[Guide] Solar Cables? . . . - How I Did It - its time for another guide . . . This time on solar cables. we use these cables for permanent install and for mobile installs. lets start with the Solar PV MC4-MC4 cable. Solar PV cable is not actually standard cable . . . its more specialised...

Cut the crock clips off and add a fused 12v plug. See here, at the start of this thread. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/guide-mobile-solar-panels-how-i-did-it.13225/post-259748 . .

Thanks, thats interesting. My thoughts about the polycarbonate are that the holes in it are not that big and fairly quickly could end up full of dirt/crap so not cooling as effectively as just left empty with one thick bead of sikaflex. As you went with a top mounted connection box on the...

Hi all - question about our converted T5 2009 that we have had for almost a month - specifically the electrics/charging/ECU/Leisure/solar system Camped the other week (on ECU) and on Saturday afternoon messed about with the hand-set control panel of the 2kw heater passenger seat. It's blue...

Hi again, thks for those thoughts , an update . Clayton say that the LPS1 is now obsolete and they no longer offer any kind of service on them. I think they had to send them back to Denmark , and the option is too expensive /outcomes not good. So the option they offer is a well discounted new...

I couldn't find a dedicated NEG point :confused:

how have you found the anker? I was convinced to go for the Ecoflow but upon seening the anker solix c800 plus I’m leaning towards that unit as the torch features and light seem great.

Hi Dell question as I got similar set up with factory battery and hoping to reuse as you mention in post. Removing relay etc. I assume the original wiring its ok for victron Orion xs as you already swapped few different dc dc chargers there and newer mentioned about wires, my question its what...

In terms of cable routing for the panel, I'm coming through the grommet for the offside rear light cluster wiring. I created a small hole and put both cables through. Then I used black polyurethane sealant to make a good seal. I find any poly stuff which sets quite firm will be fine. Usually the...

@hoddo - have you got a leisure system already? charging the van with a Power pack can be done, but its not very efficient. I've done it here : https://www.t6forum.com/threads/guide-battery-maintainer-for-starter-battery-how-i-done-it.23652/ .. you might be better off with some solar for...

id say 50w as a min. . . you have some nice bits above. . . PWM is functional . . . but MPPT will give you more yield. . . The Victron is the best-of-the-best - but also offers fantastic monitoring, so you can see / meter what you are getting. ++++ i use a 50w dash panel starter...

On the solar spec, you need to check the VOC of the 160w panel. The ctek has a max solar input of 23v. If the VOC of the panel is higher you need to use a seperate solar controller. ... https://www.t6forum.com/threads/guide-mobile-solar-panels-how-i-did-it.13225/ ...
