I have recently purchased a Toyota Hybrid Hylander (Kruger in Australia). THanks to the 2 metric ton towing capacity this is an adequate tow vehicle to small to medium size trainers. This vehicle has no alternator and chargers the starting battery through a DCDC charger from the main NiMh...

I am taking delivery this week if a Toyota Hybrid Kluger (Hylander). I would like charge my 100AH lithium (recreational) battery from the starter battery which itself is charger by a DC-DC charger (no alternator). Do I need to connect through another DC-DC charger? Solar input would be an...

I have a Projecta DC-DC charger supplying a lithium battery in my Ford Ranger. I am setting up a camper trailer with a seperate Renogy lithim battery with a Renogy DC-DC charger. The tow bar is fitted with an ignition supplied Anderson plug. In connecting the trailer DC charger should I connect...

I inherited an unbranded solar panel when I purchased a camper trailer. Connected to a Renogy 50A DC-DC charger I measured 36volts at the panel which exceeds to solar input upper limit of 25.5volts. The over voltage protection cut in. My question is, could I use a buck converter to step down the...

Thanks Will for the excellent video on battery longevity. I realised that I have a problem. I am about to Install 125ah LiFePo4 into my new Ford Ranger using a Projecta Lithium DC-DC charger. Part of the set up is a solar blanket but for the most part, the alternator (connected to the Projecta)...

My Renogy 50A DC-DC charger is doing as it should and outputting just under 50amps when connected to the smart alternator on my Ford Ranger. Because of the voltage difference going in and coming out of the charger, more that 50A from the alternator (closer to 60A). This causes the charging...

I have read advice that the charger should be connected to the chassis and not to the negative terminal of battery when a smart alternator is installed. I have also read advice that...
