I'm upgrading my 5th wheel I use for for boondocking. No inverter included in the build at this time. Two 100Ah Li Time batteries on the way. I'm picking through bits and pieces now, trying to get the rest of the core elements. If you have any preferences or advice on the below needs (I think I am shifting away from Renogy products due to some negative reviews).
Please chime in. I'm not sure which items to get for the rest of the build :
1) Which shunt / system monitor? I want to watch SoC for the system, and would like to have an in-cabin wall display, along with the ability to monitor via bluetooth on my phone.
2) Whose onboard converter / charger? I've looked at WFCO and Progressive Dynamics. The existing onboard box is a WFCO WF-9855. I read that Progressive has a more optimized charge profile. WFCO-AD boxes have auto detect between lead and LFP. Or other manuf? I think I would prefer to stay with one that uses a 15A 120VAC input as opposed to 20A input requirement.
3) What about a MPPT solar charger? I will be starting with a single 200W panel but may eventually add another 200W, so the ability to handle the voltage output of two panels in series would be a good thing. 50A capability is way more than enough.
Does anybody make a one box solution for solar charging and SoC / shunt? With a remote panel and bluetooth?
Thanks...
