going lithium and need someone to install the electrics ect

[roadwarrior]

any recomendations ? i have normally gone to calibre caravan services for various stuff but i asked them to fit my telikonica router and poynting mimo 3-17 and explicably they refused saying they normally fit stuff from motorhomewifi saying it was better quality ( which is bowlocks ) and more expensive to boot so now im looking for someone to fit a lithium battery and a controller ect - suggestions please close to burton on trent to be mobile and fit at my house. OH i fitted the poynting and teltonika myself saving a fortune no doubt. but im hesitant to do complex wiring like lithium.

The actual installation of a Lithium battery isn't actually difficult...I did mine..what needs to be added to get the best performance from your new battery needs to be considered...mainly charging from the alternator and solar...
Some crimping tools and correct cabling is essential...the rest is quite straightforward if you take your time and read up on here...that's how I did it...
And if you saved a few bob on putting your router and antenna, you will certainly save a packet doing your own lithium...
However....if you still want a professional fit...go with the majority suggestions on here...Good luck..

Another one for Offgrid Power Solutions.

Of course you could save cash and fit it yourself, but it's more than just the fitting - they provide bespoke advice and suggest logical things you wouldn't always consider, and definitely not to simply squeeze extra cash out of you.

Once the system has been fitted, Nigel and Roger will also back up their service with ongoing support and advice.

I'm lucky as I'm only 30 mins from their workshop, but knowing what I do now, would gladly travel much further to use their expertise.

We recently had a full lithium set up installed by Vanbitz. Very happy with their work and they are always willing to offer advice and support.

They have an excellent site to stay on too.

Another vote for OffGrid. We stopped there overnight and took the bus to Oxford whilst Roger did the work.

Offgrid is a good choice either for installation or supply of parts and info.

If you decide on a DIY upgrade there is more than enough advise here on Fun, on youtube etc..
Did mine last year with Ecoworthy 100amp batteries x 2, Victron MPPT solar regulator, dc-dc charger and smart shunt.
Later added a CBE battery maintainer to top up engine battery from the leisures.

Bluefix another good company. I had a simple 230ah lithium battery, b2b and a battery master fitted; I asked for a fit and forget and it has been exactly that for the last 2 years. Apps etc available, parameters to tweak all available, however, I have touched nothing and it all just works

Not cheap but no changes required a BOS S or LE300 will do the trick can be set up in hybrid or pure lithium mode.

how long would a set up like this take to install by professionals at a guess ?

sorry coolcat -what is that ? im only just coming to terms with lithium

 

[herald_400rl]

Depends what you mean by controller, etc. Are you looking at a new b2b, 240v charger, any other changes like new solar mppt, inverter, etc.
Or do you just mean dropping a battery in?

If you are at Burton you are not far from OakTree who supply EcoTree batteries. Richard is their sparky and he will do a good job. Explain everything and not wring cash out of you. I must say as a review for OakTree we had a small problem with a battery. They told us to call in whenever we could , to suit us and not them. As soon as Richard had finished his tea break he sorted the issue without any drama.. First class service and I would recommend the company to anyone.
