We replace the original charger/mains power supply with the Victron BlueSmart IP22 Charger which is Lithium compatible and can be managed via an app over Bluetooth. Installing in our Elddis CV20 Campervan all be it very similar in the CV40, CV60 and CV80 Compass and Elddis campervans and the same principals apply for other types also, all be it the connections may be different.

This increases the power output from 20A to 30A and is also configurable to be optimum for the lithium battery charging.

You can control various settings and get the status with an app on your phone or tablet.

This is part of a series of videos around my Lithium battery installation which covers each stage and component. I'd recommend watching the full series and the final video to get the most benefit before you embark on this type of project.

When working with electrics, please ensure you're confident in what you're doing and switch the power off before making any changes, make sure connections are secure and appropriate size fuses or breakers are used to protect your van and equipment. Be particularly careful when working with or around mains electric also.

If you decide to do this yourself, this video is just a guide on how I have gone about it to suit my specific purposes and may not be the best way of going about it. Any mods you undertake you need to personally assess the risk before going ahead and whether it's needed or right for you.
