This also made me chuckle

So in about 10 years time when half of us have a Buzz we'll have the Forum Charging Network where we can each borrow each others chargers as we road trip to the opposite end of the country... There's also probably going to be a point soon where advancing battery and solar tech means the ICE...

Thanks for the link stills works even on the current sale they have

I've got 1, love it. WiFi connection is a game changer for me with my use case. I have it buried under the bed so with the WiFi/Bluetooth I can turn it on. I use it as my off grid 240v (I have a hard wired extension lead) and I also have a 20A leisure battery charger I plug in to top up the van...

Lots of Victron users around these parts, maybe start a thread with your current settings and symptoms and folks can advise. My personal view with the higher current chargers is to leave them around 30A if you are using the van regularly as this lets them run cooler and is kinder to the battery...

There's some logic behind it, if you're not using a lithium cell they prefer to sit at between a third to half full rather than be held at full charge. But you'd need to do that with all the chargers and with the lifecycle of a decent top end battery it's probably not worth the hassle. If you...

Thanks. Initial plan was a smaller battery, but was upgraded by converter, also because I'm not going down the solar panel route at the moment wanted it to be able to cope if I wanted to go 'off grid' for a short while. While I'm going to use a power bank for the interim, theres a possibility I...

Have you already got the solar panel? If not, is there an option of going any bigger? I ask, because induction cooking on the inverter absolutely rinses the battery! For example, on my 230Ah Fogstar battery, 20 minutes at full power on a single 800w induction hob, drains 10% of the battery -...

Do you know your usage exactly from previous experience or is this a new adventure? What do you need/want the EHU for and do you really need the air fryer? If you don’t need 240v I’d recommend not bothering with the EHU element and invest in a better off-grid solution. Being free of EHU...

No, no mains input to the smart inverter range. So no transfer switch. That's only on the multiplus range, they have mains in, and a internal charger.... We camp 99.9% of the time off grid, without hookup. So decided I didn't need to spend the extra money on the multiplus. And didn't need the...

This is great to see thanks!

Great advice! It absolutely is all about doing what works best for the individual

Gotcha... Not seen any of that in the UK. Have they released a UK spec version? Id wanna see a full teardown first to gauge the safety & quality. They don't make the sells or anything, so kind get the feeling they are jumping on the band wagon a bit.? They know self balancing scooter...

So do lithium batters charge well off the engine when running?

I will say though, if your budget is big enough and you have enough space (IE a cabinet location rather than under seat) then it's completely possible. For instance you can get 12v LifePO4 batteries that are 500Ah or bigger... Then along with a big battery, you can run dual DC-DC chargers, for...

That makes good sense regarding the current flow. To be honest, I do not know... it was a Christmas gift so figured I might as well make use of it. It will fit under the passenger seat so won't take up any space in the back. Even if I only use it to charge a laptop/ dewalt batteries, it's...

"Off grid" with internet connection and on a Microsoft server ....... :whistle:

At the moment, I am not looking to go down the route of full off grid, as we have only had two occasions that mains hasn't been available, but have a few things that we need mains for in the caravan. I want the inlet to top the battery up if needed.
