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...

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...

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

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...

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...

Did you ever get this resolved? I have Lithium 230AH, and it's an All Seasons van, only recently got it, but it has a Sargent EC700 power unit, which I don't think will make the best use of the battery. At some point, I am looking at getting another Lithium, probably in a series or parallel...

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...

Just wondering how long the battery will last without use. My van has sat on the drive for just over three weeks over Christmas and the app was showing 12.57 volts on the battery so thought I would take her for a run, did 25 miles and back up to 12.9v, I have one of those solar battery...

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/ ...

I am trying to find an optimal DC-DC charger for my current set up/future set up, so I am reading a lot of post and trying understand. I have a question, any reason to use Regony with MPPT and then use a seperate MPPT. Why dont use Regony DC-DC without MPPT (they are cheaper) then add MPPT...

sure: choose your lithium . . . look for a 100Ah one to start with. - Seat Base Electric + EHU + Solar Install + Charger + DC-DC -- How We Done it -- get a dc-dc charger fitted (not a VSR) - that will charge the battery when the engine is running - [Guide] DC-DC Charger (for leisure...

i have the 100w Renogy Suitcase, which had a fuse on the battery clip. it come with crock leads and a basic controller, but i swapped out the controller for a victron and swapped the crock leads out for a fused anderson conector directly conected to the battery.. +++...
