First post, and I'm using the DCC50S in my first system build. I've got everything installed and working, but I have questions on the best 'User' settings for my scenario.
I have the DCC50S in the back of my truck camper with a single 100Ah Renogy battery, a BT2 bluetooth module, and Renogy's 500A shunt with monitor screen. I'm only using a portable 100w solar panel at the moment, so nothing installed on the roof. I drive my truck almost daily, but only need the aux battery intermittently. Given that the DCC's Li profile will keep the battery at 14.4V, and in my use at a 100% SOC, I'm trying to understand how best to set up the 'User' profile to prevent anything beyond an 80-85% SOC. I know something like this was mentioned a few times in the thread (I skimmed through the whole thing), but I'm not sure I got the answer to my question. What Boost and Float voltages should I set in the User profile to achieve this?
For what it's worth, I wired the signal wire into a switch I have in the dash, hoping I could just turn the charger on and off manually, but this isn't how the DCC works. It will always charge if above 13.2V from the starter battery, and the signal wire only tells it to keep charging if the voltage drops below that. Worst case scenario I could install a battery isolator solenoid, but I'm trying to avoid any additional wiring/hardware if possible.
