Question: Will feeding power to a Victron MPPT solar Charge controller from an AC to DC power supply damage either: (i) the controller or, (ii) the power supply?
My Components:
1. Meanwell AC to DC variable power supply (13.5v to 18v) maximum rated current 33.4A
2. Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50
3. 280A Lifepo4 12v battery
I currently shore charge my batteries by feeding power to a programable Bogart 30A PWM charge controller with the above Meanwell power supply. This saves me from having to buy a separate multi stage shore power charger when solar is not available. Bogart recommends this technique and I have been so doing for quite some time without issue.
Do you think that feeding power to the Victron MPPT solar Charge controller from the Meanwell power supply will damage either: (i) the Victron MPPT controller, or (2) the Meanwell?
If you think that either the Victron MPPT controller, or the Meanwell, will be damaged, how about if I used my 18A Victron Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC Charger (12/12/18) instead of the MPPT controller?
Thanks for your help!
