The title is a bit ambiguous so let me explain my situation. I have a complete system set up in a Land Rover LR3 for off-grid adventures: a starter lithium-ion battery (antigravity 80ah with jump start) and a house battery (renogy 50ah lithium ion) connected to a renogy dc2dc charger with a solar MPPT connection. I have a hood-mounted 100watt lensun solar panel that works very well with an open voltage of ~26v. That open voltage is my current problem - because the renogy dc2dc maxes out at 25v, I am getting over-voltage errors when the panel is in max sunlight. Rather than messing with voltage converts and or replacing a very well-installed charger, I was wondering if it is possible to use a secondary MPPT charger supplied by the panel manufacturer that can handle the solar open input voltage and connect the output (12 v) to the solar connection of the renogy... I might lose some power from the panel... but it would be way more consistent - I just don't know if you can go MPPT to MPPT like that? Any help here would be appreciated. I am a bit of a newbie to this.
