Hello.
I have a Renogy DCC50S charging my AGM leisure battery from both my engine & solar suitcase (for off grid camping). I rarely use the PV but last time I tried it it wasn't charging the battery through the DCC50S. Luckily I always carry the separate croc connectors to the PV output leads...
After watching other peoples setup progressing I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Renogy 100ah Mini LifePo and a DCC50S for my Day-Van conversion. Starting off simple so no solar at this stage (potentially want to add this later and have it switchable from leisure battery and Bluetti) just...
...and had an auto-electrician check things over before I put the fuses in and turned on.
All working fine as far as I can tell (the Renogy DCC50S charged the Renogy lithium battery from 56% that it arrived with to 91% while I was out driving today).
My question is whether any leds should remain...
The Renogy DCC50S which is a combination mppt and b2b charger is under there as are all of the fuses, the Renogy smart shunt and neutral bar, the battery isolator is on a panel across the front of the seat base, it's tight.
This was when swapping out the first v1 DCC50S that failed, the later...
@Badjamin don't get me wrong as my DCC50S is facing the same as your's but with so little space that's the way it went. This is my second DCC50S after the first one conked out and the inability to see the LEDs is a ball ache but thinking logically the fault would or should have shown on the...
...Solar Charge Controller to the battery using croc clips and it charges. I checked the direct connection between the PV to the input of the DCC50S using my multimeter on connectivity and it has no issues. So between the PV and the DCC50S there are no breaks. It must be in input to the DCC50S...
We've got a ghetto DIY 230 Ah Roamer seat base battery, a 2kw inverter, two 175 watt solar panels and a Renogy DCC50S b2b/mppt charger for input charge so as long as there's some sun or we drive occasionally we have 12vdc or 230vac on tap.
With 300Ah you could run a 3kw inverter but with all...
You'll see that the heatsink fins are a lot taller on the latest DCC50S and the solar input goes to an higher input voltage now.
My old one on the mat after being swapped out when it karked...
Senior moment there...
I'm a bit of a Renogy fanboy but their DCC50S will take a starter battery input and a solar input too to act as an MPPT, will provide up to 50A output but if running both inputs will split the inputs to limit total output to 50A... saying that you can dial back the output...
DCC50S 12V 50A DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT + BT-2 Bluetooth Module
model - RBC50D1S-G1-EU V3 version with Bolt terminals and revised cooling.
i had this running in my VAN for a while, Very Good condition 50A DC-DC, (25A + 25A Engine + Solar)
25A PV Solar (VOC 25v max) (660w...
I need to discuss fuses.
80A battery to busbar via 35mm2
60A Renogy DCC50S to busbar via 16mm2
60A from busbar to fuse board via 16mm2 to a 15A
30A at busbar fed by cable from 20A ANL inline fuse fed from AC charger (20A charger for battery)
I'm assuming this isn't an April 1st jobby, but AFAIK the DCC50s isn't a mains charger. By all means, stick 240V into it & let us know what happens:whistle::uh run:
Thanks @Pauly I wasn't sure about the maxi/midi, i don't think I'm bothered about EHU and if I add solar it would come in at the DCC50S so less components to buy 👍
Is it good practice to fuse both ends of the cables then, even on the short run between DCC50S and Leisure Battery (Both will be...
...like you wouldn't drive flat out everywhere just because your car had a shed load of power.
I've possibly got the same B2B/MPPT unit, a Renogy DCC50S and all you need then is a mains to lithium charger and possibly an Able Mail trickle charger from your leisure back to your starter battery...
Or a Renogy DCC50S as they're great value, I'm on my second one so they might not be long term but this one is reined back from the 50A they will produce so may well last longer this time.🤫
A Renogy DCC50S will charge the leisure battery from solar and the vans smart alternator so an MPPT and DC to DC charger in one unit and provide up to 50A charge to the leisure battery which can be lead acid, AGM or Lithium.
It's a cheap enough unit too but probably best to set the charger...
