battery

This might be of interest to someone. Could be a great portable power solution and can charge at EV power stations. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ecoflow/ecoflow-delta-pro?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=Ecoflow Sadly missed the early round for 2K usd.

I have a brand new unused, never before hooked up renogy 100ah 12v LiFePo battery. Still in its original packaging. I only opened the box it came into ensure all contents arrived intact. The only reason why I’m selling this is because it took too long to get to me and I wound up needing a...

Hey everyone. I'm doing some work on a 2007 Sprinter in the EU and one of the many tasks is to replace the battery. I've done some searching on here and can't find a definitive answer on whether AGM batteries were an option on the Sprinter back in 2007? I ask because a previous owner...

I've installed a Warn 12K winch on my 2020 144. I plan on running 1/0 wire back to the battery box for power. I don't think the positive side will be a problem, but I'm struggling to figure out a way to attach the negative. This is the OE negative connection on my battery. The wire is soldered...

Greetings. I have two LIFELINE 100ah GPL-271 12v AGM batteries and a custom mount for sale. I purchased them new about 10 months ago and used them for about 3 months. I've since converted my Sprinter to a lithium system so I no longer need these. I just recently sold the Xantrex Freedom...

Hey guys! I'm looking for the strongest available 2nd alternator for a sprinter currently available. Right now I'm seeing about 280 watts on 12v or 140 watts on 24v. I can wire my LiFepo4 batteries in 12, 24, or 48v depending on which voltage alternator is the strongest. Was shooting to break...

I'm considering picking up a new starter battery for a 3.0L 2008 2500 Dodge Sprinter. The battery is 6 years old and having issues starting sometimes. Especially now that it's winter, on the cold days it doesn't wan't to turn over. Any suggestions on a good but affordable battery? Thanks

I've read several posts on whether or not it is beneficial to disconnect/remove the engine battery for a long period of winter inactivity. I'm not asking about that. What I am asking here is... are there any down sides to having the van sit with no 12v power to the engine, ECM etc? I'm no expert...

The dual rear batteries in our still newly acquired early 2006 FreeSpirit LSS seem to not last very long. They read 12.2 V with or without 110 VAC connected and with or without the disconnect. I charged them for hours yesterday with the negatives disconnected with two chargers and then with...

Hi all, I have a 2004 Sprinter (ex-ambulance).. I’m trying to fit an alternator and need to find the dreaded D+ feed to excite the windings only when the engine is running.. I’ve searched the forum and found lots of information regarding the ‘body builder EK1’ terminal but I don’t have this...

Engine won't start, or even crank. Last thing was l left headlight switch in 'park' position a few days ago. My fault but thought modern vehicles had 'auto-off', especially since I don't recall seeing the parking lights after ignition switch was turned off and I was leaving the storage lot...

Could the ECM drain the battery? The dealership replaced the original battery in July and by mid August the battery was dead. It will not hold a charge. I noticed that the cover on the ECM is missing after having service done. It now looks corroded. Sorry to sound naive but my husband died...

Hi there forum, I am looking to thoroughly upgrade exterior, and refresh the interior, of my Sprinter T1N, Class B, motorhome. Once the Corona restrictions lift we want to move on in an effectively new 'home' WE are working on various upgrades ($$ allowing) The most important issue is...

Hi there, So all the youtube videos seem to be using voltage-sensitive isolators. But the aux battery guide uses a simple 150-amp relay. The cheapest 140-amp isolator runs about $60, while a 200-amp relay is only $30. From the guide, the relay doesn't look like significantly more work to...

Hello, I just bought my first RV, a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500, with a 2009 Winnebago ERA top. Here are a couple of basic questions I have about the rig. Why would Mercedes/Dodge put the main chassis battery in an inaccessible place under the driver's seat, while leaving an auxiliary battery...

I need help to safely charge my house battery off my alternator when my van is running. At issue is the fact that I have a 220A alternator, and I'm having trouble finding an intelligent relay that can handle 220 amps. Furthermore, it looks like I need 4/0 gauge wire to handle a 220A load over a...

2019 2500 Sprinter 4x4 Cargo. 220A alternator. Small (100ah lithium to start with plans to expand) electrical system. dc only. In talking to both battleborn and sterling they say 6AWG is the largest wire that fits and I would have to trim back 4AWG if I use it. I have an approximate 28 foot...

I am planing on installing a Trik-l charge relay in my SS Agile. I want the solar power system to trickle charge my Sprinter chassis battery while the unit is in storage. I have read the best place to install the Trik-l charge is on the battery separator solenoid. I believe I see this device...

I have a second battery in back to run my led lights and a water pump. It is hooked up to a magnuson inverter/charger. The only way to charge this battery is with shore power which is a pain. Can I wire this battery some how to charge off the alternator? Is it as simple as connecting it to the...

Are there brands to avoid, or brands that give better than average value? Initially I will be running only a ceiling vent fan and a few LED lights.
