I made some significant upgrades to my van's off-grid ability just over a year ago and have been collecting performance data ever since.
After just over 400 days of ownership and 37 nights away it's time for a look back at what worked and what didn't.
Upgrade included .-
* Installing Victron SmartSolar charge controller.
* Installing KS Energy 60Ah Lithium LifePO4 battery
* Installing Victron SmartShunt
* Adding additional solar panel
* Creating custom charge profiles
* Adding external MC4 connection point.
