what a last few days. So debating new options maybe mppt controller instead but then I am reading some places saying that a single 100 watt panel may not be enough to charge a battery as the input voltage would be about the same? There is a lot of mis information and back and forth information wise.
Components in play as of current.
100 watt renogy panel (will attach label)
Ampere time 100ah lipo4 battery
Solar wires 12 gauge dedicated solar lines
So was I reading a page which was wrong information from what I was reading states voltage is more the mppt operation instead of watt reliant. Yet when I look at the back of the renogy panel it’s showing a OPEN voltage of 24.3 and a optimum 20.3. But doesn’t show the short-circuit current voltage like it does for watts.
Again still learning and catching up but as of now I am trying to choose controller type, this last failure controller wise made me realize I need to upgrade to a better controller with USER battery settings.(Maybe also Bluetooth and semi budget friendly, but not wanderer 10a budget. I regret that!)
Here is panel info and battery info.
