Upgraded battery fitted to this customers campervan.
New 240v charger also fitted to suit lithium charging requirements.

Some new leads for the multimeter from 👌🤝

Picoscope out today trying to catch the fault.

I thought I'd give AI a chance to see if it could see the issue in this picture. While it gave me a decent answer pointing out several things, ultimately it did not give me the answer that it could/should have.

Can anyone else see what's wrong ???

Here is AI's answer.......

Based on the image you provided, here's what's potentially wrong or noteworthy:
* Exposed Positive Terminal: The most glaring issue is the exposed positive terminal on the left side of the distribution block. It has a red cover, indicating it's a high-voltage connection, and it should be fully covered to prevent accidental shorts. This is a significant safety hazard.
* Messy Wiring: The wiring in general appears somewhat messy and possibly not routed optimally. While it might be functional, it doesn't look professionally done, which can sometimes lead to issues down the line.
* Corrugated Tubing Not Fully Seated: The black corrugated tubing surrounding some of the wires doesn't appear to be fully seated on the connector. This could lead to chafing or damage to the wires over time.
* Potential for Corrosion: While it's hard to tell definitively from the image, some of the metal components look slightly corroded or oxidized. This could affect conductivity and lead to connection problems.
* Unidentified Component: The silver component with the large nut in the center is not immediately identifiable without more context. It's unclear what it is or if it's properly connected.
In summary, the most critical issue is the exposed positive terminal. This is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed immediately. The other points are more related to the quality of the installation and potential long-term issues.
It's important to note that working with automotive electrical systems can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable working with these components, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic.

Heaters on and tools at the ready...... 🫡

I am fully booked this week with only a few slots left for next week before a 2 week close down for a Christmas recharge🔋

A basic setup here for a campervan conversion we completed last week. 100ah fogstar litihium battery with the 240v charger. victron dc-dc charger and blue sea fusebox and isolator, cbe switches and sockets to finish.

We have left space on the fuse box future upgrades. (Mppt and inverter)
Quality the components used throughout for longevity and reliability
