Victron Smart 12/12 30

Finally finished my installation under the drivers seat. Bit of a mission fitting it all in. Thought I'd share for others at this stage.

Nice job pal, I have a Ctek D250SE in mine an was looking on putting one of these in instead as you can keep an eye on what stage the charger is charging at via Bluetooth but didn’t know what the difference was between the Non-isolated one and the isolated one. I see you’ve the non-isolated one there. The Ctek has a wire that you have to connect to your vans fuse board, does the victron have this?

From my understanding, you only need isolated if the 2 batteries dont share a common negative. They do have a link to ignition which you only need a +ve which I've just piggy backed in the cab fuse box. The bluetooth and app work very well but only if you are standing right next to the van of inside obviously. This is my first experience so couldn't say it was better/worse than others.

Have a look at a bmvs, nice cheap Bluetooth addition. I use one with a ctek to keep an eye on everything

One on the starter battery too...
