Yeah, lesson learned. Renogy was running a flash sale on their website. I got the $299 charger for $189. it was a knee-jerk purchase seeing it on sale. A little do diligence research before installation made it clear the charger did work as stated in the specs (full 50amp draw on atl not 25...

An explanation of how an alternator works is missing form the conversation. (this is my understanding form experience, if you really know better or have a good link to explanation feel free to speak up) An Alt acts as a constant voltage source. It will try to maintain 13.6 volts-ish as best...

At this point the Renogy RBC50D1S is on it's way back. Renogy "no hassle returns" = Big pain in the ass! Victron Energy Orion-Tr IP43 12/12-Volt 18 amp and a duel charging set up (Hope this does not get to complicated or costly) is the way I'm headed. I think 18amps is a load my Alt can...

No, I'm still within the 30day return window. I expected to pay return shipping, but the restocking fee. It is not stated their return policy. I would have argued that, "product inconsistent with advertisements" (their words), But at this point I'm just trying to get back what I can and move...

Well, I’ve had a day to cool off. I’m not trying to start an argument with anyone. This was just my experience and opinion. If you like Renogy that’s fine you can spend your money on whatever you want. But if you’re recommending their products you’re losing credibility with me. My question...

In short this experience with Renogy tech-support was BAD!!! I will not buy products from this company ever again. Why is anyone recommending Renogy products?

ok, I get it. But I think it's a no brainer at this point for the 50amp charger, but I will still check the excess capacity. That's just a good idea! thank you

Yeah but at 50+amps I could burn up the alternator just doing the test.

I assume the "Victron Energy Orion-Tr IP43 12/12-Volt 18 amp" is a solid solution in my situation. Then learn about duel-charging options. I'm not worried about slower charging as the house battery is mostly for entertainment and the health of the tow vehicle is absolutely the priority...

Thanks HRTKD, I will be retuning the RBC50D1S. And now I'm even questioning the 30amp version. The simplicity of these is attractive but Renogy's stat sheet is vague and misleading. I do not have wiring yet, still planning system. I will get wiring last to best fit it. And my current PV will...

I am trying to figure out how much of a load a Renogy RBC50D1S will put on my alternator. I have a 2007 Honda Civic with a 90 amp alternator. But it’s 14 years old. I have read several threads and the Renogy spec sheet but I might be more confused now than when I started. I have a good Optima...

Hello all, first post on the forum. I have lots of questions. I will probably be asking them all in the wrong threads and missing most of the vital information :) I have some general electrical knowledge/understanding but little practical experience. I am building a ultralight TTT and setting up...
