Is my MPPT controller not real then merl?

Very tidy, old couple, van is 43 years old and they have had it for 31 years iveco chassis.

It sounds a more complicated solution for me than upping the charger.

Just because a wimmin says you're wrong doesn't make true.

Totally no idea what that means I'm afraid. Existing battery is a FLEXBL-UK 25.9v 10ah it also says 259WH, the charger should be a DC 29.4V/2A Automatic protection charger. Going to change my username to "Totallyclueless"

I can't do that I'm afraid. Not much I can do til I get home anyway so I'll see what the starter battery is and go from there.

If I had a brain I'd be dangerous, I took these the other day and forgot to post them. I can do it on facts but not on here, so I'll do that and link to them.

Seems they are https://www.amazon.co.uk/GDWD-Electric-Bicycle-Charger-Mobility/dp/B09D7LJBG9/ref=sr_1_12?crid=16EW3KB7ONUYA&keywords=24v+mobility+scooter+charger&qid=1656437173&sprefix=24v+mobility%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-12

Finally found the 4amp charger link, it's a step in the right direction of course, but still going up a lot to come down a lot...

I'm not normally a big user but I had this fitted a couple of months ago to go with my one LB and 85w panel, it charges the VB too...

I think that's about as fast as I could go on the starter battery isn't it, bigger is always better I suppose within reason.

How much do you think it'll cost, I probably have enough cable and terminals, maybe fuses and holders still from my self build. Can't find the thingy 12v to 24v jobbing whatsit.

Liz isn't very steady on her feet, she's already pulled the inverter out of the ciggy socket twice so I need to get rid of that first, for me to use the leisure battery will get expensive fast as i would need someone who knows what they're doing as I'm not fit to do it (clue in needing a...

My thoughts were to maybe use a relay so it could only charge when the engine is running.

Ah yes, I forgot about that, my solar controller sends some to the starter battery too Merl, and the scooter is electrically 1m away, leisure would be approx about 4 to 5m away.

Cost is relative really, not wanting to spend oodles as I don't have it but nothing is free since Brexit n Putin n Covid.

Speed of charge mainly Merl, I've been putting it on charge every time we move any distance and its not fully charged again since we left home despite having driven over 600 miles and only used the scooter for about 3 miles so far.

Obviously. God you lot don't half go on a bit :):):):):):) Re 12v to 24v any thoughts. I am thinking to make a more efficient fixed system with a relay / switch inline so as soon as I fire up the engine it'll charge the scooter, if its plugged in.

Yes it is😙 Your bit in bold is the charger . The inverter seems fine, and has a green led so far once plugged in and turned on. I was (badly) trying to know if the chargers green light was due to the scooter battery trying to shove power back down the lead towards the inverter when the...
