In reply to Matt. Hi Matt I’m feeling and alone since finding your site. I will I replicate your 3 60A into 180A with 150 A breaker. The 1000w inverter supplying power for the 2000w charger/inverter threw a little bit. How does the charger tie into the lithium iron batteries and how many do you have. Next question is to ask is your not running the engine every and you have access to shore power how can you use sp to charge and perhaps have it as the preferred method of lighting things up. Is there a type of switch to be used.

Hi will my second alternator on my 2021 ford transit be able to charge my 6 x 200 Amp-hr lithium batteries.

Or should I get a NationStar 300 Amps alternator with Balmar controller to replace my existing ford alternator

I also have a secondary AGC battery – can the NationStar alternator charge both the lithium group and this battery or should I do something in the existing vehicle control and just have the engine alternator charge both AGC batteries

Where did you place the DC+ wire that activates the unit?

Hi Great advice. I have a 2015 Transit 17 seat mini bus which we are converting. I am just about to start the electrics. You mention that you use the Ground point by the hand brake for your inverter but the House battries are floating ground ie; not connected to the van chassis. Is there an electrical reason for this or is it just personal preferance? Using the van chassis as ground will save a lot on running ground cables around the van. Your thoughts and advice would be much appriciated

So you mounted the busman block onto wood and taped to the seat frame…..can you mount the busman block metal? The reason I ask is the block seem to be metal..and I don’t understand why it would not sort when cable is attached

Great article. Very helpful.

I bought a used transit and the CCP cover is missing. I have spent hours searching for this part number, but can’t find it.

Does your cover have a part number on it?

In reply to Adam Orth.

Adam,

I also have only 1 hot CCP ( 60A)— how did you wind up connecting? ddid you run your positive from your single CCP to a circuit breaker and then to the B2B charger? What did you found to?

I have a 2017 transit with dual batteries and an AGM 210ah house battery which is charged by solar (180W) and aa Kisae 30A dc-dc charger. the kisae is attached to the top CCP. I would like to install a 1000W inverter similar to how you did using the CCP. If i use all 3 will that affect the dc-dc charger at all? Thanks for your help.
