Hi all. My transit mk7. 185hp. I'm a joiner so ask away... I need battery electrics help!

Hi Craig and welcome

What would you like to know about the battery electrics? It can be very simple or if you want to go high tech as complicated as you can get

basics are a leisure battery charged via a relay from the alternator to run lights and pump etc

Am I right in thinking it's 240 in to battery charger, charger to battery then battery to lighta/12v etc.

If you're thinking of an electrical hook-up then you'll need a Transformer/Rectifier, my Van is fitted with an EBL 99. That's where you'll connect up all your appliances - fridge, heater, tv etc.

Hi Craig and welcome...
Can you stop the wheels spinning when you move off...
That's a lot of hp... you will need a bit load in her.

I wouldn't use 2.5T&E for your ring/radial 230v, better using HO5/7 stranded cable/flex
