New Schauldt battery Booster (B2B?)on the way (1 Viewer)

[dpsuk999]

I'm seeing 27.7A charging my leisure batteries at the moment on the Autoroute following quite a heavy demand night (running a 12v cool box overnight for my Brother in law) one my Euro 6 Ducato PVC with a Shauldt EBL 119 and no Charge booster / b2b Charger.
The charge rate appears to taper off as the battery approaches full View attachment 245279

Is that a Victron BMV700 with Bluetooth to display the info?

Thanks @gerry mcg that IS useful to know

For the moment I am just going to see how my (now) twin batteries manage before I add any more goodies

FWIW. I would go for twin leisure batteries, then add a solar panel (150w?) and a good quality MPPT controller ( victron or votronic) in pretty short order,
And see how it performs under your use.

You might well find you don't need a b2b, depending on your use and Base vehicle

Take care with wire colours, black is sometimes negative but not always. On my EBL29 the leisure battery positive connection was black (marked schwarz) and the negative brown (marked braun).

The wiring connection 2 is how I connected my 1212-45 and all appears to be working well.

Oh how right you were! when I added the extra battery the live was black and the negative brown ........
