Great vlog guys. On the battery front it looks like your BMS has got confused. Maybe needs draining the battery and recalibration once it’s full charged again. Is your Stirling charger on the standard lithium setting or have you set it to some custom settings? Our Victron setup when we had the Comanche was a bit flakey on the settings too and needed the occasional recalibration.

Hi Steve, thanks for the information, I hadn’t thought about that, maybe I can do that, as for the Stirling charger I’m really not sure as it was already in the van, and it’s very confusing as to how to reset it, but I will look into it, thanks again for the ideas and safe travels 🙏👊👍🏴🚌

Steve don’t waste your money!! With the Sargent system you will never see your batteries at 14. I have agms and have only ever seen it when they were brand new. I won’t have lithium when they fall off the cliff your out of power. After living in my Autotrail for 5 years I’ve just bought a generator. I will say I use it if I need the power it’s out. I’ve learnt not to be sucked into the add Solar shite after summer just gone where it was our worst year for solar. I have just bought a noco so if they need charging and repairing I can do that. These Autotrails can be constant money outlay if you let them. The Sargent system will always lie to you so better to use something that stands alone from it .

@@wanderingbychoice we got a champion 2200 so you don’t have the seargent box with fuses and the control panel above your door along with the truma control? All I can say is solar doesn’t give the power anymore. In 2021 I could run my tv with solar coming in all day. That stopped 2 years ago. I bought a 400 quid inverter it knackered my batteries it requires to much power. Since I ripped that out my batteries now charge properly. The most I ever see is 13.6 even plugged in for a week the odd time I use a site. If I want plugs my generator works all my power needs. My all powers services when generator cannot. Your inverter is probably sucking the life out of your batteries but we all have different needs. I hummed and rrd because of people being pc on the generator I’m sorry if I knew 5 years ago I would have just bought it. I had to replace my batteries because of the inverter I’m not a fan of lithium and the agms have been superb. Good luck with it though Steve 👍

@ cheers buddy, I have still got the sergeant unit and control panel, just not the charger, been disconnected, fortunately I can turn off the inverter, as you say it uses to much power, that side of things works really well, did some research and seems that lithium hate being on hook up constantly, which for our first year they pretty much were, so might be damaged, you have convinced me to upgrade our generator when we can, I have no qualms about using a generator, been nice chatting and thanks for taking the time to help me out.🙏🙏👍👊🏴🚌

The chargers in caravans and I assume it's the same for motorhomes stop charging at a certain point ,never charging to capacity. If you want capacity you need to take out the battery and charge separately. This should be done any way periodically for battery longevity. Just for info tho because it doesn't help much
