I recently installed my electrical system which has the Renogy DC to DC charger with MPPT 50A, two Renogy 170Ah lithium iron batteries, and the Renogy 500A battery monitor with a shunt.
The DC to DC charger with MPPT works fine - no issues getting a charge from both solar and the alternator. The battery monitor seems to work as well, it detects loads that I’m using and shows when I’m charging.
However, the DC to DC charger with MPPT seems to only detect one of my batteries as it will only charge from my alternator or the solar PVs up to 48% or 49% - as seen on the battery monitor. My batteries are connected in parallel. I’ve set the battery type on the DC to DC charger with MPPT to Lithium iron as well as on the Bluetooth mode of the battery monitor and setting it to 340Ah. Is this an issue that the DC to DC charger with MPPT isn’t detecting both batteries? Or is there something I’m doing wrong in setting up the battery monitor?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
