I have a 100W panel on the roof of my minivan that charges an EcoFlow River Pro battery through one of those XT60i connectors. I travel internationally and am sometimes away from my van for weeks. I would love to use the solar panel to trickle charge the van (Honda Odyssey) battery. Based on my research I need an MPPT controller (thinking 30AMP for future use in a bigger van with more batteries) My question - can I buy one of these XT60 connectors and strip the one end to insert into the charge controller? That would be easier than switching the longer cables I have running from the solar panel inside the card. Anything else I need to be thinking about? I am worried this might be more complicated than I think - I had a local garage bring in a direct line from the car battery to an inverter (i know it has a fuse at the battery) and I was just planning on wiring the MPPT battery out to the connection on the inverter.
Reading this post makes me think I need to worry about a ground?
Appreciate any advice you can provide.
Thanks,
