Complete System Specifications
Understanding the details helps you make an informed decision. Below you'll find detailed specs for each component and—more importantly—why we chose these specific components for your van power system out of all the options available.
Energy Storage
Victron NG LiFePO4 Batteries
Victron NG 12.8V 200Ah Battery View on Victron.com →
The NG series uses a centralized Lynx Smart BMS instead of individual battery management systems. This architecture is simpler, more reliable, and less expensive while providing the same protection and monitoring.
The centralized approach means fewer components to fail, easier troubleshooting, and lower overall system cost—savings we pass on to you. Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry provides exceptional safety with no thermal runaway risk.
Power Input
Solar, Alternator & Shore Power Charging
SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 View on Victron.com →
The 100/50 can handle up to 700W of solar panels (at 12V), maximizing energy harvest even in partial shade or cloudy conditions.
This controller handles 60% more solar capacity than the smaller 100/30 model many competitors use. You can add more panels as your power needs grow without replacing the controller. Built-in Bluetooth lets you monitor and configure via the free VictronConnect app.
Dual Orion XS 12/12-50A Chargers View on Victron.com →
Two units provide 100A combined charging from your vehicle's alternator—that's 1,200+ watts of charging power while you drive. Includes automatic engine detection and prevents overloading your alternator.
Many systems use only 30-60A, which means much slower charging. At 100A combined, this is the fastest, safest way to recharge your batteries on the road. You'll gain back significant capacity during even short drives.
Power Output
AC Inverter & DC Distribution
MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120 View on Victron.com →
The 3000W output handles high-draw appliances like microwaves, induction cooktops, and even rooftop AC units (with 800Ah battery). Pure sine wave output safely runs sensitive electronics.
The MultiPlus-II is Victron's latest generation—more efficient with better features than older models many competitors still use. The 120A shore power charger is one of the fastest available, getting you back to full power quickly. PowerAssist technology can combine shore power with battery power when you need extra capacity.
PD5000 Series Distribution Panel View Specifications →
Distributes 12V power to all van circuits: lights, fans, water pump, USB outlets, and other 12V devices. Each circuit individually fused for protection.
The PD5000 is the industry standard for RV and van 12V distribution—proven reliability with 16 individually fused circuits. Clean, professional installation with clear labeling makes troubleshooting simple. Unlike cheaper automotive fuse blocks, this panel is designed specifically for the demands of van life.
Monitoring & Protection
Battery Management & System Safety
Lynx Smart BMS 500 View on Victron.com →
This is the brain and helicopter-mom protecting your complete battery system. Monitors each battery's health, prevents damage from overcharging or over-discharging, and communicates with all other Victron components for coordinated system protection.
Unlike systems with individual BMS units in each battery, the Lynx Smart BMS manages your entire battery bank from one central location. This means simpler wiring, easier troubleshooting, and more reliable protection. The integrated Bluetooth and VE.Can connection means you can monitor everything via the VictronConnect app, and your Ekrano wall mounted display.
Lynx Power In & Lynx Distributor View on Victron.com →
Lynx Power In provides fused connection between batteries and system. Lynx Distributor splits power to inverter and 12V distribution with individual fuse protection on each circuit.
These components provide professional-grade power distribution with proper fuse protection at every critical junction. The modular design makes installation cleaner and troubleshooting easier compared to traditional busbar-and-fuse approaches. All connections are standardized for consistency and reliability.
Ekrano GX Display View on Victron.com →
7-inch touchscreen display that shows your entire system at a glance: battery state of charge, solar production, AC/DC loads, and system warnings.
The Ekrano GX gives you a quick visual status updates at a glance in your van, plus remote monitoring lets you check your van's power status from anywhere with cell coverage. Plus plug & play integration with heaters, water tank sensors, Garmin, and more for full van system monitoring.
