Which meant that you were just charging one battery. Follow proper setup of your Renogy after disconnecting it entirely by PV first than battery. Reconnect your wires and than connect the SCC before connecting PV.
Ahh you are correct, that aint gonna work!
Thanks to all that have responded trying to help. So I did try doing just that and the renogy battery display started flashing so I am completely confused at this point
Also a single 200w panel with voc of 23v will never charge a 28v system
Good catch. Might explain the latest problem now that OP is having.
For what I was charging and powering I didn't think I needed 2 of them. Funny thing is I had bought 2 to begin with and returned it thinking that it was too much! I may also only be fine with 1 battery you think????
Also looks like the wanderer with display is 12v only. The 24v version doesn't have a display?
Ill go check. I'm not sure.
Your inverter is 24vDC. All your components must be sized to meet this. 1 battery of 24vDC is actually better when is LiFePO4 because two 12v ones will become imbalanced with their separate BMS's.
Ok. Well I guess I need to go battery shopping again. Thank you for the info.
Just checked . It does do both. Thank you. Now trying to figure out if I wired it correctly. I am baffled because of the 2 battery jumps together. I tried connecting the positive of the renogy to the non jumped terminal and its flashing with an error.
So even with minimal items running the battery will never charge to capacity??
At this point you are set up for a small 12v system, just wrong inverter.
Correct, that panel wont get volts high enough for a 24v system that needs to charge at 28+
I think that a larger battery would be more inexpensive that buying another inverter?? I am kind of stuck with this one.
Do I need to attach anything to the load line with a bulb pic on it? I left it with nothing
I guess you just answered my question of if I can keep this inverter.
Are there any one piece solar panels that will be sufficient to charge it? Looking for the most cost effective route here.
No
Your batteries can be hooked up PARALLEL for 12v at 100ah. I think you could find a small 12v inverter for around $100-150.
For 24v, a single solar panel would need a Vmpp of 34v and up, otherwise you can series another panel like you have.
Would this work?? Not sure what vmpp means
Voc is open circuit max going to charge controller. This is important to not exceed limits on the cc.
I'm sorry for not understanding the lingo, but based on what I suggested, would this panel work?? Here is more info.
