How to stay longer off grid (compressor fridge).

[Grianan]

Well next step but one will be to find someone good to upgrade controller etc BUT immediate problem is to find someone to look at the Truma boiler … it stopped working on electric (ok on gas) whilst we were in France - can’t get inside the boiler due to how it’s mounted in seat base (can’t get side cover off) - looks like boiler will need removing. Really bad design.
After that we’ll be looking for recommendations for who to sort out the controller/battery charging/batteries.

Votronic - On-Buy have a 220version - up to the same as the one suggested above cost £128 odd. Votronic used to go 165, 250,350 and then 430 I think so I guess this is a very recent version. They too support Li.

That is because it is a PWM controller not a MPPT also about 50 quid overpriced.

To get the trickle charge from my Votronic Duo I just run a cable to the positive input to the EBL. Has worked perfectly for around 3 years and not had a starter battery problem since doing it
