1) Quite possibly - the fact that the control panel is beeping means the voltage isn't 0 and the fridge will almost certainly have shut off after a certain low voltage has been reached. It's not as if there has been a dead short across the terminals. Assuming you can, use the EHU to charge it...
Evening all,
For a while now, I've been comparing the offerings from the likes of Bluetti/Ecoflow etc. While it's difficult to argue against the lower capacity offerings, as soon as you go over the 1000 watt/hr threshold, the prices seem to ramp up quite considerably to the point where (in my...

Relisted due to sale falling through.
Due to a change in my layout I have for sale a kitchen unit out of my 2021 LWB t6.1
I see no reason why this wouldn’t fit a swb aswell with a small amount of adaptation...

Hi Guys,
My daughter has a T5 Van conversion that she bought 'new' arond 5 or 6 years ago straight from the van converters (Oddessy Vans of Swindon).
The donor T5 (2010) was some sort of commercial vehicle (possibly an AA van? - but that maybe be just a false memory).
Oddessy Vans went out of...

It’s been a busy summer of camping, adventures and a few modifications. Thought I’d give everyone an update.
Cut out a space for our small sink and tap. Managed to plumb and wire it all this weekend so all set for morning cuppas and late night teeth brushing. Replaced two kitchen panels which...
Several EVs are now using heat pumps instead of resistive heating, also to manage battery heat. So the tech is actually already there, after all they are just a reconfiguration of the one in the fridge you already have.
I was about to write that fossil fuel is the only alternative for heat and cooking off grid (wood burning is bad for particulates, and unless you are coppicing, arguably not super sustainable). However I realised my fridge runs off solar very easily and chucks out plenty of heat. So maybe a tiny...
Hi everyone
I’m about to start work on wiring the battery to battery charger system in my van and would like a bit of extra peace of mind before jumping into it.
The victron components I am using are:
Orion-Tr smart 12/12 - 30 non-isolated DC/DC charger
Smart shunt 500A/50mV
I’ve decided I...
Theoretically, yes.
If the battery was at 100% then you had a draw of less than 1a, the battery will be at less than 100% but the BMS won't have detected any draw.
So then if you drive and charge the battery back up to a true 100%, it'll show 100%.
I've found mine would sit at 97% when the...
If you follow @Dellmassive ‘s suggestion of replacing with a Renogy DC-DC + MPPT, then your diagram will simplify considerably.
Your positive supply to fuse box and fridge will go from LB positive, through fuses (like you’ve shown). No need to route solar directly to them as per your dotted...
I'm just about to embark on a small upgrade to my van and it'll be my first foray into electrics so looking for some advice. It's a van we bought already converted so making any significant changes i=would be difficult, so I want to do as much under the drivers seat as possible. Current set up...
Well said
I went all in and had a van converted
Unfortunately this got written off
After much thought we’ve ended up with a day van … full double bed and kitchen in back … but in winter we have it set up as a seven seat car
Much more versatile as this dual use vehicle
Paradoxically, given I'm often advising on leisure electrics, I've not gone any further down that route on my own van. As it's not a full camper the only thing we really would use a second battery for is lights when we're parked up for fish and chips or to power the small portable fridge.
To...
...With help from my mate who had already done the work, i decided on a few things.

Solar and LiPo Battery

Hookup with possible inverter in the future

Depends entirely on what your usage will be.
If you only ever stay on campsites with hookup, then you won't see the benefit of LiFePO4. But if you want to do any camping where there's no hookup, and potentially no or little solar, then even a basic set up with a fridge and some lights will...
