    The battery I've bought (TN power) can be charged with a standard 3 phase charger.

    I upgraded my system to 3x 100w panels in series, a 120Ah Lithium and a 1500w inverter. Had a four day test run last month and the system ran TV, Microwave, toaster plus the usual stuff without any problems. Saves having to coil up 25m of cable every time I move as well. The other bonus is that the battery has more 'available' power than a conventional battery at about half the weight. A useful bonus for payload strapped caravanners.

    Out of interest CY, what solar panels have you used and what controller? I'm in the process of changing vans and I'm looking at a similar system.
