x2 bilt hamber, I found this stuff a few years ago and really like it/used it ever since. https://bilthamber.com/product/dynax-s50/

Hi, I am building a different off grid setup so I'm selling my excellent 105ah lithium battery at the end of March. When I started with lithium I had a million questions so I'm posting up early so you can ask and decide if it's right for you. Here's a few answers: Yes you can mix lead acid...

Clever paint job

Mattys right, theres only certain lamps you can swap with LED, i think another one to avoid changing is the generator/alt lamp. I can't remember why but it might cause issues if you do. You can buy something that goes inline to fool the car its a normal bulb but whether you feel its really...

Why would you say that assuming he's trying to bait you, quite inflammatory thing to say, not friendly and nothing to do with the post topic. and my earlier post, I was trying to help you, 80amp fuse is not a good route to go but you got narked about that as well. It's all quite hostile...

The post was a big wall of text but I skimmed through and saw 80a fuse? Which might give you a problem Eg your domestic house fuse is 60 or 70. 80a in a car is bonkers. An 80a fuse will need 90 or 100a wire. Starter cable is normally 70 and you don't fuse bigger than the the cable (never...

You use a DC to DC charger, i.e not direct from the alternator but direct from your other battery through a DC to DC charger. If you're off grid it's brilliant, charging times are much more efficient.

I'll update the LB post soon but if you're buying a charger I'd say I recommend getting a 0-15v 500w 'adjustable charger' ( I tried copying the AliExpress link but for some reason it won't) which can be used to balance the cells. The one I got is sort of like a blue loaf of bread shape. The...

If it's of any use/interest I wrote to a 'how to' build a lithium battery and everything that goes with it. Went on a roadtrip to Scotland this year and it was brilliant. Lithium battery build on LB

I think the durites are VSR = voltage sensing so after MB is happy then the LB then gets its charge but the voltage is kept stable. I wouldn't be so quick to junk the durite. If the MB was fully charged then the durite wouldn't 'leak' anything to your MB as its already got full charge. Those...

I had a similar problem with my setup that under certain circumstances the link between the 2 batteries was being held open. Its a by problem of all the other things you might have installed (it was for me anyway) I can't recall why I had the issue, I've got my head into lithium battery build...

enter lithium battery, game changer. ! I built a lithium battery, they have really low internal resistance and charge as fast as what you throw at them e.g if you had a 100a alternator you could charge a 100a lb in an hour from zero. It's not as perfect as that but you get the idea. So assume...

Yes, did mine as well and it's fine. I routed the back into a standard camping RCD (3 plugs with a fuse trip) then 1 goes to my fridge, one to a inside double socket and third one is for a charger or extra fridge.

If you've thought about hanging speakers this was one of my lockdown projects. I made it using a wooden floor panel from b&q (which b&q gave me as a free sample - bonus!) The speakers are 6x9 with amp under the front seat. The middle section gives a bit of extra storage space too.

Sign up to car and classic too, I get regular auction emails and quite often there are some nice bays . I'll post a link in a moment of I can find one

OD is right, too much fuel swamping engine.

also check/change fuel filter, cheap way to eliminate another possible cause

I'm tall, I fitted daihatsu hijet seats which have a low squab, had them recovered, and had a extension welded to then to give more support under my legs which was easy enough.

Thanks Coda 👍
