Questions about vehicle electrics. Answered briefly.
Do I need a DC-DC charger?
In most newer vehicles, yes. As soon as the alternator is load-controlled, the charging voltage drops after a short time and the leisure battery never gets full through a simple split-charge relay. A DC-DC charger generates its own multi-stage charging profile and compensates for the voltage drop of long cables.
How large does my leisure battery need to be?
Add up the daily consumption of all loads in amp-hours and multiply it by the number of days you want to manage without recharging. With LiFePO4 you can count on almost the full capacity, with lead-acid only about half. The battery capacity calculator in the Academy shows the calculation.
Which switch panel suits a camper or panel van conversion?
The Series 200. It is designed for 12 V and 24 V systems in protected interior areas and is available with up to 24 circuits. Each circuit has a thermal rocker circuit breaker with indicator light. For metal bodies without chassis ground there is the two-pole version STVxxx-2p.
Is solar alone enough for self-sufficiency in a vehicle?
Usually not. Roof space is limited and the yield varies with season and location. Solar covers the base load while parked, the DC-DC charger replenishes the bulk while driving. A mains charger or generator remains the fallback.
