Quote from: dd on December 17, 2017, 02:05:28 pmPF installed it with 2x 85amp batteries which clearly was not enough. I did think they would have been more professional as they get good feedback on this forum.You are the only poster I know who runs their system on 2x 200amp batteries. This seems a good idea, but is not how they are set up by professional installers, who normally seem to fit 2x 110amp batteries.Needless to say I would not use PF again.With respect t that’s exactly what I said wrong batteries used 85 amp isn’t enough pure freedom are useless they didn’t Evan have the decency to get back to me and I phoned them on several occasions cowboy outfit as far as Ime concerned ; the minimum I would use would be 2x115 with my old system that’s what I had and worked fine , my new system is almost 400 amps I know it’s over kill but I also know I won’t have any problems with it which is important when working 200 miles away from home

Or potentially does it kick in, then It generates so much heat in 20 minutes or so that it wouldn’t need to kick in again during the night. Guess time will tell daz. My finger is hovering over the “send” button on my email to Oliver to arrange the system, so any info I can gather beforehand the better.i doubt itll drain the batteries too much in one night mate or im sure they wouldnt fit the frost stat feature in the first place.apparently it doesnt kick in fully.just enough to stop everything freezing for 10 mins every hour.if you left the van for a week in freezing conditions without driving it with the frost stat on then they might drain the batteries then but not one night.How hard is it to run a lead out to the van to be on the safe side. When I had an Isothermal 1 from Pure Freedom my experience was that it ate batteries. My preference now is to use cold as it makes life much simpler for me.Not hard at all mate. But I have a smart split relay fitted. I won't need to charge up overnight often. Maybe once a week we ll see.

I've got two vans with the hot water Grippa tank systems and I don't use the froststat because it's too noisy in the dead of night! Used to wake me up so god knows what the neighbours were thinking. I bet they were looking out of their windows for a low flying jet! On the plus side, I've never had to charge the batteries as they're always charged up from the split relay charger fitted by Grippa. When I had an Ionics system (years ago) I was always charging the batteries from the mains.
The are trouble free if you do a bit of traveling during the day I’ve only mains charged once this week on Monday,every morning I’ve pulled up at the first job it’s read 14-2 volts lol happy days I never realised it could read that the lowest it’s been at the end of a big job is 12-6 volts then off to the next job and back up to 14 volts.
