Any solutions available other than the REDARC Manager30 for an all-in-one B2B, MPPT and AC charger?
To get best performance when switching from AGM to LiFePO4, I'm looking to replace the existing charger, battery isolator and PWM SCC in my step van RV. I'm accepting the tradeoffs of opting for an all-in-one instead of separate components to minimize bulk and complexity. The step van has 4x100W solar panels and will soon have 4x100A LiFePO4 batteries.
The major disadvantage I see with the Manager30 for my situation is the 30A rating as my 200A alternator can support a higher rating. I can solve that problem by adding a BCDC1225D in parallel which defeats the goal of minimizing complexity. If I end up with two components instead of an all-in-one, another option would be the
KISAE DMT1250 Abso 50A B2B/MPPT and an AC charger (recommendations for 30A shore power?).
My preference is for the all-in-one and your input and feedback is appreciated.
Existing components to be replaced are:
Inteli-Power PD2160
Cole Hersee Co. No. 48161 Schottky Battery Isolator Guard 250A 12-24V DC
non-op Morningstar ProStar-30 PWM SCC
