    Renogy dc to dc charger

    I have the exact same unit. Just use a cutoff lamp cord and plug one of the wires into it. This can also be done with a cig port plug. I put a wire nut on the second wire.

    Problem Cell?

    The batteries are brand new. It was the initial charge to top off before I top balance. Not sure a BMS is required.

    Figure out what you need before you buy damn it.

    To me it’s not that difficult. Check your house meter every day for a month, look at your electric bill for the last year and use a kilowatt meter on specific appliances and you should have a good idea what your needs are. Build to a multiplier based on your solar input. This would probably get...

    It was a great experience dealing with Jade. I picked up Patrick’s batteries since I live in Houston - about 6 miles from the warehouse. I was able to pick a random box, open it and test the cells. Thank you.

    Figure out what you need before you buy damn it.

    Other than reading the complaints of others (Im not saying they aren’t real), what specific issues have you had with Renogy? Go to Amazon and look up any Victron component. You can find bad reviews and complaints.

    I disagree. I have several Renogy components that have performed flawlessly. What specific issues have you had?

    If your AC runs at 41 amps you may have a problem. Your startup current could and should be much higher.

    Best gas generator for a backup battery charging?

    I redid my duramax 12000 dual fuel into a tri fuel (nat gas). I bought a regulator on line and did the install myself. Search YouTube for videos and there will be links to the sellers website. I have used this extensively and the are no dangers that I am aware of.

    Lifepo4 charge voltage dropping?

    The Battery (Battleborn 100ah) hit 13.6 and never rose above that charge. Amp clamp would show 12-20 amps regardless.

    Lifepo4 charge voltage dropping?

    I am assuming you are using an amp clamp meter. Having just gone thru this with a Schumacher charger - the current circulates thru the battery and is released as heat from the charger. Volatge seeks equilibrium…once the battery reaches the chargers peak voltage, that’s it. No more increase no...

    Lifepo4 charge voltage dropping?

    Many car chargers limit voltage to +/-13.5 volts. Not enough to top off Lifepo battery.
