@WillyG Hey, were you able to get your ignition wire setup? I think Renogy doesn't supply much info around that because it would take a massive book to cover all that info, plus the liability...
Basically, you're looking for the ignition wire for your vehicle, typically found under the driver dash, in the driver kick, or at the steering column. If you've ever installed a car alarm, you know what I'm talking about. Best option for you is to hit up your local car stereo shop that has a Direct Tech account with Directed where they can print out the wire locations/colors for your exact vehicle. I have a 2013 Highlander, it was a PITA to get to it, but its actually on the fuse box under the driver dash on the back side of it.
To test, you'll want a test light (preferably a multimeter). The wire should read 0 volts when the ignition is off and around 12-12.5 volts when the ignition is on ( to the position that you'd be in when the car is running, not just accessory).
Way easier that trying to find the wire at the alternator, which is may not be anyway.
I've got the DCC50 + the BT2.
DCC50 has been good so far, but I totally drained my battleborn and drove 4 hours already and its still not charged back up... Need to look into it.
The BT2 is finicky, but once working, has stayed working. The renogy app is pretty garbage. Renogy still hasn't responded to my questions from like 6 weeks ago... Luckily I found the info I needed from you wonderful people to get it started in Aug.
I'll post some pics of the build as soon as I figure out where I'm supposed to in the forum lol...
Happy Thursday!
