    Charge controller not charging my batteries? Maybe?

    Thanks for the reply Mike! In hindsight, I wouldn't buy another renogy product. I thought they were solid when I was early in this process. So my battery is reading 13.5 volts, but my app is telling me its only ~70% charged. This is a new battery that they sent me. All the cells are reading...

    Charge controller not charging my batteries? Maybe?

    Hey guys. I’m going to try to keep this concise. I have a 200 amp lithium battery from renogy and the 50amp dc to dc controller with mppt. I also have a BT2 connected to the controller. Recently my battery hasn’t been getting much charge at all, and I think the culprit is my charge...

    Well hopefully their customer service responds to my support claim soon. I spent some good money on this thing

    New LiFePO4 battery 200A from Renogy - cells read 3.4V, 3.4V, 3.3V, and 2.8V?!

    I just finished setting up my new Renogy battery, and when I synced the battery with the app, the readouts were a bit startling. I got a battery error #4 warning of under voltage. Checking the cell readouts, one is significantly undercharged. (3.4V, 3.4V, 3.3V, 2.8V) Despite the error message...

    Struggling to determine sizing and placement for fuses/breakers

    Okay, it may be close. I have the Renogy 400 watt starter solar kit. These are the specs

    Struggling to determine sizing and placement for fuses/breakers

    Okay that makes sense. I'll fuse and wire the buss bar to the fuse block for 50 amps. For the charge controller, I liked that it was sort of a simple all in one unit. I also have a 30 amp PWM controller laying around. Would it be wise to run the solar through the pwm, and the alternator...

    Struggling to determine sizing and placement for fuses/breakers

    Thank you for the response! My bluesea fuse block is rated at 100A, and I plan to get nowhere near that. That said, 4awg wire and a 100A fuse at the buss bar connection should prove sufficient if I'm understanding the chart correctly, right? The length will be no more than a couple feet. Are...

    Struggling to determine sizing and placement for fuses/breakers

    Hey everyone, first post here. I've been reading and watching a lot of videos and I've come up with this rough draft of a diagram thus far. I know I need a fuse attached to the positive terminal of my solar battery, I'm just not sure what size I need. Is it 200A as thats the capacity of my...
