I just installed / connected my Victron DC-DC 12-12 30 Isolated charger in my Sprinter 907 (2018+) today. I connected the positive input to the battery with a 60amp fuse in between the battery and Orion. I connected the input negative to my chassis ground, as there is no space on the Sprinter battery.
The output + and - are connected via my Lynx distributor to the rest of the system.
Here’s the conundrum: The van was turned off (as much as possible anyway, never can figure out how to totally turn it off on these modern vans) and the master disconnect set to off, and my solar was disconnected. Despite that my DC system was somehow being powered by the van battery - I was getting a reading of 12.07 V on my BMV and all my DC items worked.
Clearly I’ve missed something here? How do I stop my van battery from being drained? Which connection did I mess up/ need to change?
