Lithium upgrade

[Cliffwah]

Hi all, after a trip out yesterday, stopped for a sarnie and a coffee, van wouldn’t start. Anyway the AA called and to be fair within 15 mins arrived, put his booster pack on and started the van, he said battery was on way out. Took it in to Kwik fit for a battery check, he said starter battery was fine but asked if I had another battery, said I had a leisure one and he said that the split charge relay was lit, so looked like that was dead and that’s why the van battery was drained.
So, looks like time to upgrade to a lithium, been planning to do this but seems like the time to get it sorted.
As I’m no Einstein with these matters, can anyone recommend someone to do the job? I’m in Hull but I don’t mind a day out to get a good quality system fitted.
Thanks in advance.

Normally battery to battery is only active with an alternator output.

No idea of the science behind these things, just took it in showed him what I had, said I wanted to upgrade to lithium with a future proof system, 3 days later and 1800 of your finest pounds I departed.

Was that £1800 total, including the Roamer and Victron?

That was to replace all of my old system with new victron bits and the battery.

Great combo the Roamer and Victron.

Where did you get this done? I'm interested in upgrading current camper T6 leisure battery / solar to lithium / mains etc
