Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos about CORNWALL and Falmouth I sometimes visit St Ives Cornwall and Padstow Cornwall too. Come here for everything from travel recommendations to beach reviews such as Perranporth Beach Cornwall. I also LOVE EXPLORING Cornwall’s coast line and the South West Coastal Path. Thank you for watching and commenting and liking the video.

Wonderful! Loved the cardboard cut out explaining the battery comparisons. That van has got everything you will every need. You have done a fantastic job. Charlie will have so many adventures growing up.

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@Welshandproud1970]

The excitement on your face when the light turned on 😀. Great set up, progress going really well Shaun 👌

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks 👍

[@ironian24]

Nice video showing different males of lithium ion batteries. I bought Renegy 200ah battery for my build, I got it 3 weeks ago and each cell has 3.3v and has 4 cells so total is 13.2v I noticed yours was slightly less. The renegy battery charges from empty to full in 2 hours which is amazing. I've had fridge freezer running and max fan all day and night, as well as lights and chargers for phones and drone battery, from 100% it was 80% the next day. This battery is a perfect leasure battery that I can honestly say we will never run out of juice. When I put my solor panels on it will be a real off grid van for sure.

[@andistone9753]

Nice to see all your hard work coming together and you could see how much it meant to you. Love how much pride you take in each bit rather than "that'll do" Well done 👏🏻

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you so much!

[@joinmeoutdoors]

I loved the little cardboard cutouts for the battery comparison. Great idea and really effective 👏

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@alinicol]

Great video bud, although I think the Battery will jump as the strap goes under the battery and is secured on top of the wood, which will allow upwards movement. I may be wrong.

[@LoveSundays]

Yea I may need to alter that not that I can drive the van at the moment though

[@stevewilson1600]

Who needs a black and decker work mate when you have a spare wheel to work on. Great vid with brilliant info. Thanks 🤩

Great job Shaun👍there’s a sense of achievement when you’ve wired something up and it all works 😂👍

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@suffolkseries3319]

I liked you explanation of the difference between AGM and Lithium. Great bit of graphics! Simple. 👍

[@AlamarMarine]

Hi Shawn. You need to set your shunt and solar regulators up with the victron smart app. They don’t work correctly straight out of the box. This is why your solar regulator went straight to float and your battery was at 100% when you first powered up. Happy to help out with settings if you need it.

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks for the advice mate

[@henrysullivan9465]

I'm really enjoying watching this van build. Keep up the great work!

It was funny seeing the smile of satisfaction as you turned the electrics on and it worked😁...I have been converting vans for over 15 years now, and its still nice when you turn everything on for the first time and it works as it should😂😂😂.

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

Great video Shaun & for someone like me who doesn't understand electrics you explained it brilliantly, thank you. Baba is certainly growing away, he's so cute ..

[@LoveSundays]

Glad to help

[@andyh08]

Absolutely love how you’ve turned this series into a tutorial like video. I’ve been planning a van build for a long time and the electrics has always been a stumbling block. But your videos have really opened my eyes to much larger possibilities. Cheers 👍🏼

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@andyneilmcg]

Just make sure you charge your battery up and reset the smart shunt. The smart shunt reads as 100% with whatever charge the battery was when you first hook it up.

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks for the advice

[@andrewlune1510]

I would put a cover over the terminals so it doesn’t arc if something falls on the top of the battery

[@LoveSundays]

Yea I’m going to do something to box it in possibly I’ve not decided yet

[@jameshiggins.openworld]

Nice to see all your hard work coming together

[@LoveSundays]

Right on

[@beaker_guy]

Enjoying the series, but I'd love to see more calculations / info on the practical use / field test of the electrics. That's the part that worries me most. How many hours of running the engine to charge up the leisure battery when it's say 10% drained? How long can you run something serious like a stove burner on high before it drains 10% of the battery? That kind of thing. How long would it take to charge the battery by 10% if you just use solar? (Inquiring minds probably don't care, but *I* wanna know. :-) )

[@LITTLEEXPERIMENTCHANNEL1]

Iv been using lifepo4 batteries for years, still got all it's capacity. Make sure you "top charge" every now and then. These can take days to recharge as the voltage difference is a couple of volts from 100% to 50% capacity. This battery is going to be with you for a looooooooong time. Winter periods take the battery out and store indoors. They don't like the cold at all.

[@LoveSundays]

Good tip

[@iancliveedwards]

So pleased for you mate , great to see it coming together 👍

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks 👍

[@TravellingTorunn]

Good morning! Great job, and so very satisfying when all things work as planned 😊

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks Torunn

[@johnprewer3057]

When connecting the battery always connect the negative terminal last just in case you accidently short circuit the positive terminal

[@stevehubb]

Love your vids dude but one thing (that i havent seen mentioned) you should have a main battery fuse AS CLOSE AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE to the battery terminal. There is a lot of power there and imagine if you were to get a short circuit in the cable between the battery positive and your main fuse...

[@SuperDebbie001]

Well done Shaun , can’t wait now for it to be finished and you can start you visits round the beautiful cornwall towns 😀😀

[@TerryTrackerChannel]

Great vid as always Shaun… but I think your estimation of the weight of an agm battery is way off.

[@LoveSundays]

Yea it was supposed to be 130 lb which is 60kg

[@TerryTrackerChannel]

I guessed so. Looks like you’ve got yourself a great battery though

[@TerryTrackerChannel]

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@emlyntilley]

AGM batteries weight about 26kg for a 100AH not 130KG

[@LoveSundays]

It’s 130lb for 200ah or 60kg still 3 times heavier than the Lithium

[@AMGMANIAC]

Yep, 26kg per 100ah and my AGM's have a 4 year warranty, fit and forget. Both types have their advantages but I think the bias is understandable. I'll go for Lithium next time just for weight saving, the AGM's have been great for 18 months and only show 7 cycles in that time due to my higher SOC floor settings.

[@groundhog1143]

great to see you back Shawn thanks for the tip 😂

after explaining the difference between the two batteries, I'm now wondering why anyone would opt for the AGM, tis a no brainer really

[@LoveSundays]

Yes my thoughts too

[@markyeomans8232]

love watching your videos are you sure that an 200ah AGM battery weighs 130kg this would make it 20 stones in weight.🙂

Yea I think I mean to put that it was 130 lbs. I’ll have to amend the video somehow 😂

[@hippydude1]

You didn't pull and ping the strap and say that ain't going anywhere 😂
