Was with a Yuasa tester like this: https://www.yuasa.co.uk/chargers-and-accesssories/testers-battery-analysers/mdx617p.html

I have had them all checked at Halfords and they said all were good, last week that is.

Not sure I could fit all 4 in the Box at the front, and possibly because now there is two at the front and one at the back, though if I was rewiring then I guess I could put them all closer together if that is best practice ?

Not sure TBH, running an EE Wifi HotSpot 24/7, possibly 0.5 A/H, Diesel heater a few hours, I have not had the Merc long, then charging a laptop and a couple of phones, an educated guess would be maybe 40 Amps over 24 hour, so I might get 4 days or so from the batteries that I have at a guess

I have just seen this on Facebook and am thinking about getting it as not that far away, not sure the Panel will fit on the Merc but I can use it down the timeline on an off-grid set-up, the Inverter is better than the Edecoa that I have but is 1800W rather than 1500W; so if I used that then I...

Not sure what you mean by It was in “Let the fun begin “. @SquirrellCook ?? If it was in a post could you copy and paste the link please ?

For clarification, this is the inverter I have https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401725348697 It is 3000W Max and 1500W straight. I don't know if that makes any difference to your calculations, it sounds like the more copper is in the cable then the more it will cost !! ??

I did a reverse image search on the image above @wildebus and only found it after retrieving the name on Auction sites in South Africa. The name I came up with was ITZFOSS F371 I can't find one so far on Banggood or EBay or Amazon, any ideas @SquirrellCook ?? On the Talbot I bought one of...

THANKS @wildebus - Very helpful I think what I might do when I get the Van back is measure up for new cables, look at integrating a new Charger (Victron) for 240V. Then get some kit from you to re-wire, do the VSR front-back, and then maybe strip out current wiring and re-wire the 12V System and...

I have done a little bit of research and I am coming to the conclusion that if the battery charge parameters in technical details are pretty similar than mixing battery types should not be too much of an issue. I understand that best practice would be to have an array of the same battery types...

Well said and valid points, thanks everybody :)

Think it would improve ride and handling on an old mercedes and better than fitting new leaf springs IMO

This one perhaps: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Air-Suspension-KIT-with-Compressor-for-Mercedes-Benz-Sprinter-1995-2006-4000kg/323336156627 Doesn't look that great and no independent suspension left and right which makes levelling easier

Have Victron BMV-712 and an Edecoa Inverter 3000W :D Thanks for the Diagram

Think tech has improved, they have a 5 year warranty on the air-bag, guarantee against leaks and I would likely flip the van within 5 years. So with the improvement in ride quality and also the option for some levelling I would think they could be a good investment

Interestingly when I was at the Motorhome show yesterday I came across a Couple of providers of Air ride systems One of them has quoted me already for a system to use on the rear of the new Merc coming in at just shy of £1,000 glide-rite.com So just wondering if anyone is using any air or...

Took Van to a local Halfords and had all 4 Batteries Tested by them on the Yuasa Tester device Think it was this one www.hardwarexpress.co.uk/yuasa-mdx617-battery-tester-analyser-4906-p.asp They all came up as good, Father-in-Law had a quick look and thought there may be a +ve cable shorting...

Thanks for the information, it will be something to do when I get the Van back from the mechanic.

At the time when I took the pictures I did that, ZEro'd the meter. Did it a few times as could not believe that I was getting a current reading through a disconnected cable. So perhaps what @MarkJ said about field interference might be valid as there is quite a big rat's nest of cabling under...

The cable from Front Vehicle Battery to rear leisure battery is the one with the arrow below and I expect you are right in that it is not thick enough. What do you determine to be the charger / psu ? TIA
