Just a question The negative to the new battery I can see you have it bolted on the the right side does it matter out the 3 bolt connectors you add the cable to
Thanks for watching Peter and not to my knowledge, or research, as long as all the connections are clean and firmly tightened was my take on it so theres a clean flow of current between the two as they act as 'one' when in use.
Many thanks Chung - do you mean a Mobilvetta? Our inline solar fuse ultimately goes back to the main fuse board so you could isolate the whole hab area if you have a more central master fuse switch. Did you get a User Handbook with the van which should also specify the exact fuse or if it's not a Mobilvetta then there would be a FB forum or YT channel for your specific van which might have someone that knows where to isolate :)) Hope that helps and thanks for watching :)
Hi I have a roller team Pegaso with the exact same outlay as yours I am going to fit a second leisure battery could you tell me exactly amp power leads I need to purchase thank you for your time look forward to your reply
@@motorhomingadventures Good morning thank you for getting back to me as I live in Wales as well the weather looks good today I have two new superbatt silver 9000 S100 with 100ah Hope this helps thank you Steve
Thanks Steve and I'd use 50mm square connecting cables. That would be AWG 1 or thereabouts. Here's a link to that type of cable - I used Alpha to source the parts for my battery upgrade www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/sterling-power-pair-of-50mm2-battery-linking-cables-with-m8-eyelets-300mm-length/ Those have M8 eyelets so just check that would be suitable for your setup - you can get different cable ends depending on your needs :) Hope that helps and thanks again for watching our channel Steve :)
Morning TK, I ordered: Sterling Power Pair of 35mm2 Battery Linking Cables with M8 Eyelets 300mm length from Alpha batteries. Hope that helps :) and thanks for watching
@@motorhomingadventures thanks 👍 for the info I’m just about to add a 2nd battery to our motor home. Lovely motor home you have we’ve just changed to an a class Enjoying your vids 👍
It was lucky Graham - it should have been an option to add a second at purchase I guess but they did t say anything at the time - would like to eventually go Lithium 😁 Thanks for watching 🚌

Great video but my 2018 model has three fuses - removed all 3 and the solar controller is still illuminated?? Any help appreciated

Hope that goes well and you'll love the A class :))
You're lucky you've got space for a second leisure battery right next to the one you already with no space to do it.

Thanks for watching 🚌
You’ll always have 13.41 as that’s the volts coming in. Not what the battery hold currently as a charge!
Many thanks for that, and for watching 👍
Are those batteries sealed or do you need to top up the water now and again?
Completely sealed Murray - zero maintenance :)
thanks for watching :))
