Re: automatic multi-stage battery charger

I am looking at 90ah x 2. 800A x 2 Bosch L5013 deep cycle. This is for my solar panels on the roof of my Carthago.  My old one had damp and I presume that's what blew it.

automatic multi-stage battery charger

Hi all I've had a ElecSol model ABC-1210M for some time and it recently went on fire!  I'm looking for a replacement and wonder if anyone has any tried and tested replacement recommendations? TIA Ian

Re: Inner sill bung holes

I was tinkering under my camper the way you do .. My camper has the bungs in place, the one you need has a VW part number
251 899 189 .. Hopefully that will help.
