Hello all!
Firstly apologies for starting another thread on this topic. I found a lot of other helpful threads related.
I'm the owner of a 2010 Eagle FWC which I've recently upgraded to 140AH LiFePO4 Lithium battery.
The previous setup simply used a battery guard connected to 2x3.6mm cables running to the truck bed cigarette socket, on the other end is the camper running to the 12v inlet.
I wish to replace this setup with a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A to properly charge my new lithium battery.
My concern is the current cabling is not sufficient and so I plan on rewiring the truck to a much more substantial cable with an Anderson plug.
I wonder if anyone knows what amperage the inlet cables FWC install are able to handle? or perhaps the wiring schematic? As I can't get visibility on where the cable on the inside of the camper runs.
I have a IOTA IDP-30 by the looks of it the inlet cable is connected straight to this via the isolator.
I had planned on installing the DCDC connector inside the truck before the cables running to the truck bed, however based on other thread perhaps the advice is it should be in the camper and as close to the lithium battery as possible.
Any advice much appreciated!!
