Suggested Victron Products, Lithium Batteries and Solar Panels

This collection brings together core components for a 12V power system in one place: solar panels, a solar charge controller, lithium batteries, DC-DC and mains charging, battery monitoring and inverter/chargers. It suits shoppers planning a new caravan, RV, 4WD, boat, truck, tiny home or off-grid build, and shoppers upgrading part of an existing setup.

Charging, Conversion and Monitoring

The Victron products here cover the main charging and control stages of a mobile power system:

• Victron MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-32 and 12/4000/160-32: 12V inverter/chargers that run 230V appliances from the battery bank and charge it when shore or generator power is connected.
• Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50: a 12/24V, 50A Bluetooth solar charge controller for fixed or portable panel arrays.
• Victron Orion XS 12/12-50A: an EMC-improved DC-DC smart charger for charging an auxiliary battery from the vehicle alternator while driving.
• Victron 500A SmartShunt: a Bluetooth battery monitor that reports state of charge, current and voltage.
• Enerdrive 12V 60A Multi-Bank ePower Battery Charger: a mains charger for setups that charge more than one battery bank.

Exotronic Smart Bluetooth Lithium Batteries

The battery options cover different capacities and mounting spaces. The 12V 300Ah Apex comes in IP67 and Vented versions for larger energy needs. The 12V 200Ah Alpha range includes an IP67 model, a Slimline model and the Alpha G2 Slimline for tighter spaces such as under-seat or under-bed compartments. All include Bluetooth monitoring.

Exotronic Fusion Fixed and Folding Solar Panels

For roof mounting, the Fusion fixed panels come in 20W, 75W, 115W Narrow and 200W sizes. The 115W Narrow suits narrow roof sections. For portable charging at camp, choose from 200W portable folding panels, 200W and 300W Fusion Ultra-Light folding panels, and 200W and 300W Fusion folding solar blankets. All portable options are supplied without a controller, so they pair with a separate regulator such as the SmartSolar MPPT. The 3 to 1 'h' branch joiner connector pair allows panels to be wired in parallel.

How to Choose the Right Components

Match each component to your voltage, daily energy use and the way you travel:

• Energy storage: size battery capacity to your daily consumption, then confirm the physical dimensions suit your mounting space.
• Charging sources: combine solar, alternator charging through a DC-DC charger and mains charging to suit how often you drive or connect to power.
• Solar format: fixed panels suit permanent roof installs, while folding panels and blankets let you park in shade and set up the panels in the sun.
• Inverter sizing: choose the MultiPlus-II rating based on the combined wattage of the 230V appliances you plan to run at the same time.
