Hey mate, love your vids. Would really like them to be a bit longer with more detail. i.e. You said you had a few more bits and pieces but didn't show them which I would like to see. Things like firing it, settings monitoring, etc. cheers mate.
Nice setup, just one thing, get rid of the auto reset fuse. If there is a problem you won’t see it because it will reset constantly. That’s how fires can start. Cheers
Hey Robert glad you like the channel. they had a sale on the 100 ah and at the time there was a lead time on the 120 plus We were being cheap hahah 👍 thanks for watching 🤠
@@elnick.adventures thanks for the quick reply. The reason I was asking is because I need to upgrade from AGM batteries and was looking at the Itech myself. If I go 2@120x, how much solar would you say is sufficient to stay off grid 4-5 days? My van is small (1@ 40ltr fridge, 1@20ltr draw fridge). Other than that, I have 2 sirroco fans and a TV. I was thinking 400w of solar.
Hi There, it would be great to have a buy list of items you purchased. Also can the system handle Itech 125 batteries? As I can’t find the 100 ones Cheers in advance - Regards Carl
Hi here is our buy list and where we got them from and yes it can handle the 125 amp batteries👍 - batteries itech world 100ah or 125ah - ac charger is a enerdrive 40 amp hour multi stage charger bought from mygenerator - dcdc charger is a 40 amp hour multi stage charger bought from mygenerator - battery monitor is from itech as well and is the only one they make. - all the wire and connections were purchased from jaycar. The batteries and chargers were bought online due to covid and delivered to our door. Online stores- itech and mygenerator just google search them and they will come up. Cheers hopes this helps!
Hi Chief, why did you change all that when you may have just changed to lithium batts? I get you wanted more ah in (30-40), but why all the extra expense and hardware? Cheers, dd
Hey Dave we weren’t sure if we would keep the i tech batteries as originally we were going to put enerdrive battery in. Also I didn’t think the projector charger worked well on solar. And we already had a enerdrive charger in the car that we were impressed with. Also I like the digital display on the enerdrive charger. Thanks for watching 👍
Hi Jorji, thanks for watching 👍 yeah we knew this when we put it in but we only travel very short periods so doesn’t worry us at the moment 🤠 thanks for the comment 💪
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your contribution !! we really appreciate your support!!

Thanks so much for the feedback, we will take it on board when we do other videos 👍 thanks for watching and the support 👏
Hey mate, thx for all the vids you've put up! I was wondering if you wire'd your aircon to your battery system and did it work well?
no not on this van (: thank you for watching! glad you are getting something from these videos (:
Awesome stuff guys! How you finding the swap over?
Hey. Really good we added another solar panel to the roof as well and haven’t had to plug into power yet on our travels 👍thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for the feedback Hans 🤠
Hey Nick, came across your channel only last week and the Mrs and I are hooked. Out of curiosity, why did you choose the itech 100ah over the 120x?

@@elnick.adventures perfect thanks so much. Enjoy yourselves out there, stay safe! 👍👍👍
Hey mate, can i ask where you got those clamps from that secure battery to floor?
They actually came with the van but I’m pretty sure supercheap and places like that sell similar ones. Thanks for watching 👍

Did you change the solar regulator
Hey Mike
The enerdrive dc dc charger that we installed has a regulator built into it. So no need for a seperate one. Thanks for watching 👍
🤙👍
Thank you for watching!
The only problem with the green stuff is, it won’t solar charge and dc / dc charge at the same time. So you won’t get the maximum energy.
