Hi everyone,
I have a 2013 Swift Challenger caravan and want to swap the Sargent PX300 charger over for a Victron IP22 as the former is not compatible with my Lifepo4 battery.
I know this topic has possibly come up many times in the past and to be honest, I think I have read them all but, still remain confused.
I don't wish to make a mountain out of a mold hill but I am looking for a straight answer from those that have successfully installed a Victron IP22 replacing the Sargent PX300 charger.
I'm fine with every step of installing the IP22 right up to and when it comes to that brown third wire that runs parallel with the battery positive and negative wires that as I understand goes to the control panel above the door indicating shore power connection with the lightening bolt icon. I could just disconnect this wire however, I would really like to maintain the visual on the control panel. If anyone can advise me how to go about his I would be eternally grateful. The situation is compounded by the fact that the Victron does not have a port that I could connect this wire to. I could bite the bullet and engage a sparky but figure it can't be rocket science.
Many thanks, Les
