So my plan is to have the 200Ah lithium fitted and use the solar (lithium profile) and alternator only during our 9 odd days touring Scotland then home. I will not use EHU unless desperate due to 15V charge rate if used. I am getting a clamp meter recommended by Lenny HB so I can keep an eye on alternator charging. I will avoid idling or coasting where practicable and turn off ignition at lights etc. At least the ambient temperature in Scotland will be much lower!
The 30A B2B will be fitted on the first outing after Scotland. I will report how we get on. Having finally got to the bottom of where my split charge relay is, and it’s specification I now feel comfortable with this. Even if the B2B is belt and braces, given the £1,200 cost of the battery and the complex nature of the electronics in the van, I shall be happier.
Thanks for all advice.
