sargent ec155

I’m wanting to upgrade my power set up in my camper. I’m wanting to be able to run for at least a week off grid. Off grid I would run my fridge, and tv for a couple hours at night. The water pump occasionally and the diesel heater very occasionally. I’m in the process of buying a 2000w inverter...

Hi all I've been running the Sargent EC155 for the last 5 years or so and it's done the job. I've just upgraded to a Lithium Fogstar battery from my lead acid LB and the Sargent now keeps alarming randomly for high voltage. I've not changed anything else and have read that the Sargent's don't...

Hi, Apologies if this has been asked before. We have a fully converted van fitted with the Sargent EC155 power control system so the electrics are pretty rudimental. We are planning to fit solar panels, a Victron DC-DC Charger and potentially and inverter charger with pass through function...

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...

Just working out my electrics for my camper van build. Pretty new to this stuff so I’m sorry if I’m asking a obvious question. I’ve decided to go with a CTEK DC-DC charger and EC155 unit. Looking at EC155 diagram am I right in thinking I’ll just leave 7,5 and 6 disconnect since I have the...

Hi all, So I am a novice when it comes to all things T6/Electrical, hoping to get some advice if possible. A little bit about the setup I can see in my T6. Bison BXC31MF Leisure battery Sargent EC155 Sargent EC50 control panel (no photo). Firstly, I cannot see anything else connected (split...

Hi All, I'm looking for some advice if you can help. I've recently purchased a T6 Highline converted camper and I have no clue what I should and shouldn't be doing to ensure that I manage and charge the leisure battery correctly. I've taken photos of what's been installed during the conversation...

Hi All, I’m looking to install a solar panel onto my t6 roof.. I’m wondering if anyone can help with how they’ve brought there cables into their van? Thanks

Help, booked to go away in 2 days. I plugged the hook up plug into mains adapter switched the EC155 to charge the battery and suddenly there was smoke coming from the top left of the EC155, it flicked the RCD down. I could smell electrical burning as well. Now all seems to be working but my...

Hi, so installing the CTEK DC-DC charger and Sargent EC155 this week. I am aware the CTEK needs to be attached to a switched live in fuse Board and have for a piggy back to do this. I believe middle row 3 Down? my question is the Sargent also needs a connection for running signal.... could I...

Hi All. Just joined yesterday. VW Camper-conversion owner, after some advice. I've had my VW Camper-conversion for over a year now with no issues at all, she runs like a dream. Recently been noticing issues with the power setup. It has Sargent EC155 PSU, Sargent EC50 panel and a PMW Solar Charge...

Hi I have looked at many articles and videos about how to charge a leisure battery, but my wonderings are so basic I don't think anyone has thought that this would have to be explained. I think someone needs to explain it to me like I'm a two year old who owns a T6. I have had the van for two...

Hi Looking at purchasing one of the following power management systems to keep every thing tidy and in one place, either the Sargent EC155/ec50 CBE PC180 Kit To power my camper conversion has anyone got any feed back on either of the two units or am I best to buy individual elements and build...

Searched around for the answer but can't find it. Just wondering if it is ok to leave the controller switched on all the time so that I can see the LB voltage, to make sure it's charging with the solar panel. (I mean I have a voltage digital display, not the level on the argent controller itself)

Probably a stupid question I know but....... The Sargent EC155 has an inbuilt 'battery charger' when on hookup. I know this is a constant voltage charger, but if you connected it to the input of the Ablemail, would this not then convert it to a proper charger? Just wondering if i need to buy a...

Hi, I have a 2017 VW T6 Euro 6 with CTEK 250SA and Sargent EC155. All was fine until I connected the Solar panel cables. After connecting the panel the Sargent still worked fine, but when I turned on the ignition (With the Sargent on) the Sargent control pad started to beep, had 3 red led's...
