Update
I ended up using a 60 amp surface mount breaker on the left side of the transit driver seat. I turned the Orion input amperage down to 48 amps. That gives me a 20% safety margin between the input amperage and the fuse blow amperage. I connected the positive wire from my house lithium bank to the surface mount breaker, and then to the 60A CCP1 post on the driver seat. I attached the negative wire directly to the transit starter battery and then followed the wiring diagram below to connect everything else together. So far, after about a weeks testing, all is working great! Thanks for the help everyone : ). Special thanks to armcc who suggested the 48amp route.
Hey! I'm receiving the new Victron Orion XS 50A DC-DC charger this week and I have some questions about how to properly install it using Ford's CCP1.
Explorist.life listed a new kit on their website with the following wiring diagram showing a 60A surface mount breaker close to the van's starter battery. My concern is that the 60A surface mount breaker is the same amperage as the CCP1 connection point (also a 60 fuse).
Basically, I want to avoid ever having to remove the driver seat and starter battery if my B2B charger circuit blows a fuse. I searched around for a 55A DC breaker, but I can't find one.
I'm curious how others have gone about fusing CCP1 for a B2B charger in the 50-60A range.
Thanks for your thoughts : )
