Hello and thanks for reading!
My goal: charge a portable power station/generator via the sun only.
I have a Grecell Portable Power Station HW01.
It uses a LiFePO4 battery.
It has a built-in BMS.
It is also cloudy and shady where I am putting the panel.
I simply want to charge the power station using this panel.
The power station has a built in MPPT it says. 12V-24V, 2.5A seems to be supported.
I also have a 200 Watt Foldable Monocrystalline Solar Panel with Anderson connectors with an open circuit voltage of 23.7. Max power current is 10.1 A and max power voltage is 19.8V. What I don't know is whether or not charging will work. I somehow doubt I'll be getting a full 200 watts, but maybe. I think i read that the HW01 power station can handle up to 120 Watts, but not 200. Given the specs of this panel, will I fry my power station?
I have extension wires from the anderson connector on the panels to an adapter that is likely a 5 MM or so. I believe this will work into this power station as far as plugging in goes.
If I cannot use this panel, what could I use to limit the watts coming out of the panel, if possible? Thank you so much!
