cmyk asked Dec 1, '21

Hi,

I just bought an old camper van and there is a victron system built in. The battery (LiFePO4 12.8V/100Ah) is charged via alternator.

Now, I would also like to be able to charge the battery from a 220 wall socket.

What charger would you recommend?

These parts are already on board:

Sorry, competely new to this.

Many thanks,
Cmyk

A Victron inverter/charger would be able to charge the battery from AC (and also supply AC from battery). More useful than a charger-only device.
