REDUCED!!! Needs a wonderful new home! 200Ah Bluetooth Roamer 200S Lithium Battery, 3 years old, 68 cycles on the BMS App. From a 2000 watt inverter, it powered a 2000 watt induction hob, a 1560 watt coffee machine, power drills/tools and more. Too big to live under the passenger seat, it lived...

It wasn’t cheap as it’s a pretty big system with a 30 year guarantee on efficiency. There’s 11 of the big new generation solar panels, the inverter and the 2 Duracell 500w batteries. We got a deal and one battery free. I was £11.5k all in. It will take 9 years to recoup our investment. It...

Fully agree... makes very little sense that the MPTT provides a separate feeding interface... my opinion is that the MPTT output should feed directly the busbars. Another thing is whether that output has to be protected against reverse bias (the MPTT itself should have already inner protections)...

Yes thats all i need is a 2/3 days parked with solar doing the charge when no hook up or driving so sounds like it will suffice, is yours straight connection to leisure battery with inline fuse as per solar pic set up? Was just a little unsure as hear things like buses and shunts etc and all...

I’ve started to install my power upgrade and thought I would post a thread on it which might be useful for others thinking of upgrading to lithium. I would like to point out that I am far from an expert on this and as much as I am capable of doing the installation I am totally reliant on the...

Factory LED's, heated seats, adaptive cruise control, automatic climate control (tri-zone, I'll have you know!). TBH these are all things I had on my previous car and could not live without on the van! Probably the best thing (or combination of things) is the leisure battery, solar, and...

I have a 200w panel and it’s perfect for my use which is similar to your load (12v only, lights, fridge, diesel heater, USBs etc). In spring, summer, autumn it totally covers my needs without EHU or using the DC-DC. It is essentially everlasting. In winter it adds enough power to make a week...

1400wh is 116Ah. That's A LOT. You ain't going to be able to go off grid for more than a day or 2 unless you're replenishing that power from solar - you'll need a BIG array. And even then solar is not guaranteed. I would check and double check all your usage amounts, for instance a typical 12v...

Im finding myself going for 2 or 3 days off grid but with driving inbetween. As I say the batter is 4/5 years old now so im just trying to be prepared for the impending doom of it

This sunny weather is smashing it for the solar. We are seeing some perfect sunny days giving a perfect sun PV curve through the day. It's now sunny enough to provide all the power we need to.... Run the house while it's sunny, Fully charge the battery bank for over night, And getting some...

You really need to look at how much current your total system uses, then figure out how large your battery needs to be. For instance, I have a few low power LED lights in my van, a pair of USB charge points and my Diesel heater. My phone takes 1.5amps so my AGM 62Amp hour battery can happily...

I'm looking at hybrid inverters currently to use with (probably) Fogstar batteries to take advantage of cheap overnight electric and solar. Currently my wish list is: 1) Home backup functionality - preferably with automatic switching. 2) Changeover switches to effectively bypass the inverter...

We have a very similar setup. £10 2kW fan heater, 700W oil filled radiator, leccy blanket, Webasto. Covers all the bases and never been cold yet, even when skiing in the Alps in -20C. If we have EHU, then the fan heater during the day/evening. Switch to oil radiator and leccy blanket at night...

Its a little further south at Grantham, but recommend Tribe Campervans, their standard conversion is full off grid using a Clayton LPS unit and sliding bed system too. Ours is a Stide bed which sits lower than the Rib but works the same with advantage that those with shorter stature dont have...

You don’t to need to remove the dash to fit a split charge relay or DC-DC charger. It would just be one additional fused wire from your existing battery to the leisure battery that would need to be installed. This can be ran through your dash. There would still be a fair bit of wiring...

What we'd want to run off the tower if we're able to get it connected to the leisure battery: Chargers (laptops, phones etc) What we'd run off it if we were hooked up: Probably just the above, and a portable heater How often off-grid: Weather permitting, one or two days a week in the summer...

Air fryer is a whole new level compared to your other loads you’ve mentioned. Look at what size inverter you’d need and use the search function to look at what you need to do / mostly around wire gauge and fuses. But check h the discharge rate of the battery you’re thinking of fitting Simon

This is the ultimate no expense spared Off Grid Campervan, just read this list of features and find one better equipped, this van is very special to us and we'd be happy to discuss why we built what we did and why we are now selling it. It started off as a Camperking conversion we purchased new...

Sorry to take so long to reply. My leisure battery is charged by alternator and solar when driving and just solar when parked. We tend to stay off grid for several days and rely on solar to recharge leisure battery as fridge is important to keep food and drinks cold. Occasionally we use a...

Probably didn’t explain my post that well, the van has been converted by the previous owner, through a company but I’m not sure what the system or in fact how it all works, I have read through numerous threads, I’m not that aufait with vehicle electrics and all the terminology. I’ll post some...
