Hi everybody,
I'd like to install a battery master in my RV in order to charge my engine battery with secundary lifepo4 battery.
In France, people usually use the CBE CSB2. When the leisure battery voltage is lower than 12.5V, the car battery recharging system is deactivated.
However, I have read that there could be some draining issues on lithium leisure battery.
Why would it be a problem as low voltage disconnect for lithium battery is around 11 V ?
CBE has developped a new product the CSB2-LT, which is only for lithium batteries.
With this one the car battery recharging system is also desactivated in the absence of a “230V network signal” and “solar signal”.
I was thinking of using this last system. However I don't understand how to wire it to the "Input solar signal " and "Input 230V net signal".
CBE told me it could be only used with a CBE solar charge regulator and CBE charger. What do you think ?
Here are the connections for the CSB2-LT.
Could I used the first one I mentionned using a switch in the case I don't have my solar panels working ?
Could I have draining issues at night ?
Thank you so much for helping I am really confused.
