    Renogy DC DC Charger w/ MPPT

    Makes sense to me Hedges. Thank you. I intend to ignore the dire warnings and test my solar with the PV- temporarily connected to the inside of the van roof and see if I get significant voltage drop or any charging issues compared to 10AWG wire right to SCC. If I'm happy I will wire PV- to the...

    Thank you boondox. Maybe you (or someone) can help me with my second question. The PV negative wire is supposed to be connected to the negative terminal on the Renogy DC-DC/MPPT That terminal is also connected to the negative bus, which is connected to the chassis (along with the negative lead...

    Renogy DC DC Charger w/ MPPT

    I'm a bit confused about which way to mount the breaker between the DC/DC MPPT charger and the solar battery. Will's photo ( Click here for parts list and schematics ) has a lever type breaker with terminals marked LINE and LOAD in this spot, but due to the resolution I can't tell which way it...
