I’m still debating seems this panel model is older but I’m thinking yea winter and short days, my debate now go two 100 watt panels or a 200 watt single. I’ve heard it’s best to match panel models?

So it’s been about three days of this.(will post same video Renogy asked for) Up until three days ago night time the monitor would show about .01 amps used 0 watts. This would be about what I would expect. System is 100 watt Renogy panel, rover controller, Renogy monitor / shunt, 100ah ampere...

It might be because I’m tired, but I’m not seeing anything which should be triggering the battery over voltage. Have you checked the battery input voltage vs what’s being reported by the controller it self? how weird I must have missed post I typed a reply last night, I am curious multi meter...

As for the settings I’ll post mine, if your using the Bluetooth module (love the option) here is where I am set to currently. (Using the Renogy BT app) running the 100ah battery but voltages I would guess would be the same if your running them together with the 12v output. Don’t forget in this...

Post up the settings renogy gave you. And what ampere time gave you. Screen shot and post current settings in renogy app.

I talked to ampere time actually about the rover and sent them the default lithium settings. Amperetime said nope to high. Use the settings on the card or booklet that came with the battery which is what I set up for initially. User setting for the win

Lol it kinda does. Gel coat was buffed to hard on the side (previous owner) so the light comes through more. But yea it does lol!

Oh yea last couple replies reminded me. Just strange and I’ll adjust accordingly but after covering the panels and then disconnecting them and tearing down system to all parts to add the meter the .13 variable now reversed lol. Controller used to under report battery now over reports.. just...

Agreed credit due to renogy for that internal foam cage I guess one could call it in the Rover. I think that’s how it survived without any issues. I did find it interesting that the Renogy monitor shows correct and matches the multi meter battery voltage wise. So I just adjust settings for...

That admin password least on this model is found in the manual on mine also a quick google search brought it up. It’s basically to prevent a accidental change to the settings. Could be a little easier to remember but I didn’t find it a big deal at all here.

Interesting I’ll have to check into that. As of now it’s a double walled fiberglass mini egg trailer. One advantage unlike the scamp and casita brands single wall with marine carpet on inside seems like the condensation tends to be on the outside. But I do need to add a strip around the door...

Not really a mountain just pointing out a few things would be nice to see improved from a consumers point. 1. Pretty cool to know, being newer to the solar game so this is good knowledge to have. 2. Retail boxes usually are put into a box. Not usually designed for shipping. More so with a...

Multi meter in line. Least knowing the adjustment I can use custom settings accordingly. And yes a manual came with it. Main thing and I also emailed renogy is just so they know their item isn’t packed properly at all. I know other amazon sellers and it’s something they can talk with their rep...

Basically it may not even be known to renogy as amazon warehouse but yea a plastic bag around the retail box offers zero protection. Luckily the retail box had decent foam around the controller. When the geek side of me looks at it though harder shock than needed during transport so if cold...

Nice. Yea the shipping issue was ups lol. Hadn’t heard of Powerqueen. There is so many companies now days hard to keep track. Budget for me is a issue more than other stuff. Second of course comes quality. For sure I’m not stuck on name brands as they always come with that name brand price tags

Hey @Will Prowse just wanted to say Thank you! The videos and all have been a huge help. Due to your videos I didn’t waste money, was able to upgrade my camp trailer solar system to lithium, also got a non junk capacity tester and was able to use it (the instructions with it are junk). Low...

Well after two months of light duty discharging and charging through my solar system, Rover controller, 100 watt renogy panel, amperetime 100ah battery. I finally got a load tester and checked the capacity of the battery. I was also concerned after the initial Renogy wanderer controller went...

Best I got for now, testing for dead on a old old house wall switch ended up was mis wired. My Fluke took a good spike and has been off since lol. I’ll see about borrowing a meter off a friend and compare

True. Only thing I may do different is a stand for the display. Not wanting to drill or cut out anything for it to slide into. Fiberglass rig. If there is issues no left over hole lol. Might make a wood stand or something.

Not just the apps but sometimes hardware too. My rover reports the battery on average .11 volts less than true battery charge status. So close to good in a lot of ways but stuff like this kinda seems ignored. Admit there is a issue and work on a fix would be a better choice for them to run with.

This actually helps me as well while no inverter in-line the renogy diagram is kinda unintentionally not clearest. Thanks

What did you find out?

Not sure if it’s a good deal or not? Happened to open amazon app and it popped up a prime day deal. 67.99 seem fair for the renogy 500 amp monitor with the shunt? Had been wanting to get a monitor, figure worst thing could happen you all tell me not worth it and return. Used amazon points so out...

Oh and 7. When someone is just trying to inform you of insufficient packing by amazon for a charge controller. Box damage sucks but don’t try to make the 5% off discount for the issue sound like a oops make it right reward, you hand the codes out on the website all the time. Mainly was...

Go with the user settings in the rover and enter the settings provided by Ampere time. Seems a lot of the default profiles are on average higher preprogrammed lithium than what I found on my ampere time battery. Next few days hope to get a shunt and do a capacity test verify that the ampere time...

Haven’t done the cable management yet but since same location so was just swap controllers (previous owner installed previous system seen with the agm battery)

2 usb outlets and 1 12v power port and house lights.. it’s a mini egg. House lights all on I think was 1 amp(If memory serves me right lol) usb fan was .25 amp, cpap might be 80 watts max but I won’t run all options maybe 50 watts. For now that’s all I’m hooked up with. May add a bus bar and...

Open letter / discussion @Renogy Solar you guys are so close to having a really solid company and product. SO CLOSE, but as someone new to the game I have some things which come to mind. Think of this as a customers open letter which others can add to. I’ll do this in a list type format kinda...

Yea that’s the one thing with the Rover 20amp I am a fan of the Bluetooth combo which I got. BUT another plus the load remote on off ability and up to 20 amps max can be used. I may use 10 total. Cpap and house lights. But from 260 feet away I am able to nail a signal to the rig and turn on or...

Welcome, happy to share what I’m learning and with someone in the same debate.

I’m still debating BUT note the calibration. AILI seems to require starting at a discharged state, renogy says you can set at 100% state of charge test it and verify stays accurate, if not then they ALSO have a low state of charge calibration option

I’ll say from my Renogy river 20amp the readings aren’t worth it. You need to find the inaccuracy and modify battery settings accordingly. I just took these snap shots. My .24 to .50 amp load drawing a 1280wh / 100ah battery to 12.8 over night from 13.7? Doubtful. I am currently debating myself...

Appreciate all the replies, I ended up dumping the wanderer as it was defective. Now running a Rover controller 20amp. Now mppt

So 13.78 on battery 13.7 on controller very close. Good times. Started charging on a over fast day at 6:45 am. Granted only two watts at the start of the day lol but mppt I can see the difference. Next few days hope to give a few good tests out of the cpap and battery. I really need to get a...

O Ohh I missed the link I found it lol!
