VEHICLE ELECTRICS

12V ELECTRICS and MAINS 240V HOOK-UP 

As standard we only fit high capacity AGM dry cell leisure batteries.

The AGM battery is able to deliver high current on demand and offers a relatively long service life. They take a lot less time to charge than your normal wet cell battery and they are a completely sealed battery and vibration resistant, whereas the acid wet cell batteries are not and can expel flammable gases.

For 12v charge systems, we can fit a battery to battery (B2B) charger that is also able to have a solar panel connection, or a solar panel with a charge regulator – both will charge your leisure battery using 12v (rather than 240v which you get with a hook-up).

A battery to battery charge system is suitable for all vehicles but is a necessity on newer vehicles as their alternators no longer charge a vehicle battery beyond 80% of charge (so a split-charge relay will not work). This level of charge is to leave room for a regenerative braking system which is also used to charge the vehicle battery.
These lower levels of charge means the vehicle does not charge to a sufficient voltage to operate a traditional voltage sensing or split-charge relay. Any vehicle with stop-start and regenerative breaking (which is most vehicles from 2012 on, and now all Euro 6 vehicles) will have to have this system (or solar) fitted if 12v charging is required.

All older vehicles without smart alternators have the choice of fitting a split-charge charge relay instead of this system if they wish, however we don’t install split-charge relays. The B2B system is a much more efficient way of charging any leisure battery as this does not rely on the vehicle’s alternator to charge the leisure battery.

All prices below include VAT and are based on an empty vehicle. Any additional work required to remove panels, run cable or install products around already fitted items, is chargeable at £64 per hour additional to the listed fitted costs
