    I get the whole hurting thing now but my goodness. Answer your email and be transparent about the problems. Their customers need to have confidence in the company.

    Cut my loses would be around, 3 grand. So starting with a new supplier who could be no different would not be very prudent. Some Companies that excelled at customer service are now suffering in their service. Anyone can do well when the world is operating as normal but a true testament to good...

  • Post in thread: Renogy Closing?

    So I have a resolution after three weeks. Renogy game me a $160 discount on new battery. Keep in mind I ordered the 170ah and they shipped me a 100ah so the shipped me another 100ah. Their mistake cost me around $600 and a ton of frustration. Btw. I also spent $30plus on phone calls. So not much...

    Is anyone having any luck with Renogy customer support? I have put in tickets, reached out by messenger with zero luck. I kinda feel like this guy Hope this link works. I feel his pain
  • Post in thread: Wills Book

    Thanks for the quick response. I have the 50amp dc-dc charger controller. Will loved it so I went ahead and bought it. I think he suggests 4gauge in his drawing. So yes, only the wires going to inverter is 2/0?

    Actually I think that number is picked up by their phone support group in the Philippines. They are helpful but the wait is horrible. if our boarder was open I would head to California and park in their lot and drop off all the gear I purchased.

That was solved by me spend an additional $600 Then I have inverter charger issues( still not resolved) And latest is the Bluetooth unit and the app along with the wired monitor unit All Renogy products. Pretty disappointed since...

    Soooooo after waiting ten days for some sort of response from Renogy the following is their response. “ Thank you for contacting Renogy and sharing with us your story. We are sorry to hear that. Understanding were you at we normally recommend resetting the charge controller. This will allow...

  • Post in thread: Renogy Smart Battery removal for winter

    Hey folks I have two 100Ah batteries that I have removed for the winter. Question is Should I use the little cable with the button to “deactivate “ then for the winter or is it beat to put a trickle charger on every so often? Not getting help from Renogy. Thanks in advance Jim
  • Post in thread: At Witts End

    Grrrrrrr so after being cut off twice and an hour on the phone with Renogy still no further ahead. Truly can not believe they don’t have drawings on hooking up THEIR gear. Basically ended up buying a 170ah battery from them and left to figure it out on my own. As a past time I restore vintage...
  • Post in thread: Renogy Closing?

    Just wondering what may be going on at Renogy. Can they be a victim of their own success and now lack of products. Not the customer service that Will has spoke about in the past. For the past two weeks I have been dealing with a wrong battery being shipped and after countless phone calls and...

    Maybe Will Prowse can have some influence. Quality is high and so far technically everything seems to work as expected. It’s the North American staff that are underwhelming
  • Post in thread: Renogy Customer support problems

    So I have been away now a few time in our van. All electrical is from Renogy. 100%. Worked like a charm. All with zero help from Renogy. 100% from this forum. You folks are the best. just back home now and last night I got a response from Renogy from a message 6weeks ago. I have been asked by...
  • Post in thread: Renogy DC/DC and inverter issues

    Thanks a ton for your advice and quick response. . Just seems off to me that an inverter/charger will only work if there is juice in the battery. Just odd. I just don’t understand the whole checking the 12 volt lithium battery with a meter issue. I will spend some time on Prof Google. Little...
  • Post in thread: Renogy 2000 inverter/charger

    Ok so this may be waaaaay stupid but you guys have been gentle so far. I thought that when I hooked up to shore power , my 110 outlets that usually only work when inverter is on. Automatically switched over to shore power without turning the inverter on. Clear as mud I am sure. I just don’t...
  • Post in thread: Renogy Customer support problems

    So folks it may be worth your while to watch the YouTube channel called “The Nomadic Movement “ and watch episode “I’m really angry// solar power struggles “. I see the end of Renogy in sight. Such great products and crap service. Watch it and I look forward to reading your comments. if anyone...

  • Post in thread: Renogy DCC50S, BattleBorn Lithium Batteries and Temperature Sensor

    Their support team in North American is not stellar for sure. The only luck I have had is calling the help line that is answered in the Philippines. This folks are keeping the company afloat.
  • Post in thread: Renogy app lack of instructions

    Yes I as well found the BT app better than home app. Thanks for the response. Wish there was a better user guide
  • Post in thread: Renogy 2000 inverter/charger

    When on shore power does the Renogy 2000 inverter have to be turned ON in order to charge batteries and have my ac outlets on shore power.
