Hi, I have a fully converted van with a Sargent EC155 unit. I am wanting to leave that in place, but fit a new battery charger to cope with a new lithium battery. Has anyone done this? If so, any advice would be appreciated. Secondly, it looks like I will also have to replace my Sterling...

Currently replacing my AGM leisure battery with a lithium one (Foster drift). I have the Sargent PX300. I asked both Renogy and Fogstar whether the profile was OK for lithium and got different answers. Fogstar said it would be Ok as the voltages are within the spec for the battery, Renogy...

@digitalsteve1970 Hi Steve, Yes, I installed all of my gear back in March/April in good time for my 10 days over in the IoM for the TT. As you know, I have an All Seasons van as well, also using the EC700 consumer unit and control system, plus I did have the PX300 shore charger. I replaced the...

No you'd need to disable the "charger" and add something like a Victron mains charger to supply 12v power on EHU and charge the battery. This is quite a common thread so have a search on "Sargent". However it's important before planning that to be sure why your current battery is in trouble. A...

Have you changed the CTEK to a lithium capable one? One option is to just do that and see if that's enough to support your needs. If you get enough from the DC-DC charger you can just leave the Sargent charger off (pull it's fuse) If you find that you spend a few days on EHU and don't do...

Thread resurrection alert! I have a 2021 Redline conversion, also with rhe EC160. Im looking to upgrade to Lithium too some been poking and prodding andnim very pleased to discover mine has a B2B charger, which saves some grief. Im not fussed about charging from the mains hookup so ill...

I have a 75Ah Platinum Prestige AGM battery under the driver's seat that has significantly deteriorated after 2 years and I am looking to replace it. It is currently giving around 30Ah and does not hold charge well if left idle for a few days. Should I get another like-for-like AGM or a wet...

My vans 240v socket works when on EHU and the red button is off. I also have a seperate Victron Blue Smart Charger installed (not by my) which charges the leisure battery so don’t switch in the Sargent charger.

hi all i have a 2018 t6 sport line converted by redline conversions the leisure battery seems to have gone past its best as goes down to 10.2 volts from 12.4 after just draining the water tank for ten mins. i am looking to upgrade the battery to a lithium one the battery is under the drivers...

https://www.fogstar.co.uk/blogs/fogstar-blog/how-to-charge-a-lifepo4-leisure-battery-the-ultimate-guide Looking at the Fogstar website they are surprisingly relaxed about split charge relays, basically giving the same negatives as for any leisure battery system connected in this way. I have a...

Thanks. This is sounding like the route I’m going to take. I’m happy enough with the Sargent controlling the 12v and 240 and I have got a control panel attached to it. I like Big Si’s idea of keeping my current solar panel just now and up grading the charger to MPPT. Upgrading the panel is...

I’m after some advice. I own a Peugeot boxer van that was privately converted some time ago. I do not have any problems with the electrics but I intend to do a minor upgrade ( more about that later …) and would like to fully understand what was done, without the need for tracing every wire. My...

1. Biggest Lithium you can afford; 2. Decent B2B charger to replace the split relay; 3. MPPT solar controller to replace the Epever controller. Don't see why you need to replace the Sargent; yes it isn't perfect for mains charging the lithium but doesn't it also provide the 12v distribution and...

All understood, thanks.

Next subjects - Electrics. When we built our T6 camper, we used an 100Ah AGM leisure battery (Lithium was too new and expensive then), an Ablemail DC-DC charger, a Victron mains charger, and a Victron solar charger. In the Autotrail, it feels like we have stepped back in time (this is a new...

And a sargent ec160

Double checking the EC155 has a switch for the charger and a fuse, so you can disable this. So for now your best bet is to change the CTEK and Victron to Lithium profile, leave the Sargent charger off and don't use the additional battery. That will work fine so long as you can get enough...

So how are the Sargent/Victron/CTEK/Battery connected? Do you have diagrams or pictures? Was the CTEK fitted as part of the change or part of the original install. The problem is that fitting an EC155+CTEK is a way of supporting effective AGM charging on a smart alternator vehicle, but it...

There are a lot of similar threads if you search for the common all in one brand names like "Sargent" https://www.t6forum.com/search/1444761/?q=Sargent+lithium&o=relevance It's in reach of DIY certainly, but you'll be handling potentially much higher currents than normal that will need some...

Aah thought it was more to it than that. I remember helping my mate remove the Sargent unit from his van so he could start again as it was the best option. My bad. I’d still go the seat base 230ah with decent dc-dc and an mppt controller.
