    DCC50S + solar + mains charing

    I contacted Renogy to see if the DCC50S is compatible with a mains battery charger (which I already have installed - looking to add the DCC50S + solar panel) I got this response: The DCC50S won't be able to detect if a battery is also being charged through another source hence we don't...

    Seat Base Electric + EHU + Solar Install + Charger + DC-DC -- How We Done it --

    If you're blazing a trail to energy independence there's bound to be the odd bit of destruction, in the case of the first DCC50S there wasn't any drama or horrendous explosion, it just withdrew it's labour and when I could see the LEDs they were showing the wrong colours. 🤕 If you want proper...

    Lithium LifePo4 12v Batteries - Time For An Upgrade?

    Is that the current version fitted, or not fitted (sat next to the seat base)? The website says it's 96mm deep. The biggest bit of kit I'll need to fit is a 60mm deep Victron 100/20 MPPT.

    Seat Base Electric + EHU + Solar Install + Charger + DC-DC -- How We Done it --

    I haven't seen those chargers until now, looks very compact, built in bluetooth and 50V VOC for the solar, much better than my DCC50S. Good find!

    Bertie Blue Project

    Will the Renogy B2B charger handle a 43volt input from that panel only my first v1 DCC50S could only handle 21 volts of solar input, also two of the Renogy 175 watt flexy panels was the limit on my pop top but cudos on that 560Ah battery, more power!

    [Guide] Renogy IP67 50A DC-DC Charger + MPPT (for leisure battery) -- How We Done It --

    The charging limit of the old DCC50S current wise isn't an issue when driving around as you just isolate the solar input and get your potential 50A from the starter battery. The higher solar input voltage of this and the later DCC50S is a plus as it allows more options with solar panel choice...

    Upgrade DC DC

    If you go for the Renogy DCC50S make sure to get the newer version, it handles solar panels up to 50VOC, the old version does not. The DCC50S will maintain your starter battery from the solar when the leisure battery is full. Not much use in winter though, unless you keep the EHU on. EDIT, I...

    What Have You Bought Today?

    Renogy DCC50S incoming… Will be used as dc-dc only due to my solar panel being incompatible

    Upgrading the Factory Leisure Battery set up (+ additions)!

    Yup, snipped the split charge relay out. Wired the positive cable from it to the DCC50S, along with the Ignition signal. I used the ground stud under the drivers seat (pointed out a few posts back in an image) for the cable to the negative busbar.

    Upgrade DC DC

    i personally decided on the Renogy DCC50S...just waiting for a good deal to come up as I'm in no hurry for it :cool:

    Inverter Location

    ...to fill in some of the gaps as to where you've got space and where you haven't. I've got a Roamer 230Ah under the drivers seat with a Renogy DCC50S B2B charger, assorted fuses, a shunt and the battery isolator on the base front. I'm a shortie so have enough room behind the seat to mount the...

    Folding solar panel connection to van

    ...a number of years but I would like to repurpose this for my recently aquired van. I have been looking at different options and the Renogy DCC50S seems to achieve everything I want. The question is, alongside the DC-DC charging cable to be installed, would it be feasible to run a cable from...

    Seat Base Electric + EHU + Solar Install + Charger + DC-DC -- How We Done it --

    ...and on to the battery negative again in "0" guage. We were in France this year through that 35C plus hot period and the current model Renogy DCC50S with the deeper cooling fins didn't melt despite the whole 4 weeks being off EHU, happy bunny.:geek: @Badjamin take your EHU mains charger to a...

    Renogy 12V Lithium ion battery - Sargent EC160

    ...we get to Glasgow but broadly what you said. On my original Redline version I used the trigger for the split charger to activate the Renogy DCC50S which took care of B2B and MPPT duties. I just pulled the battery charger fuse on the EC160 and used the feed from there to the leisure battery to...

    Power bank charging

    Now that you mention it, I used to sometimes feed 12V/10A power supply into CTEK 250SA solar input and get it to charge leisure battery at about 7.5A. But I didn't ever do it with engine running so not sure if it would have actually combined solar and starter battery feeds.

    Upgrading the Factory Leisure Battery set up (+ additions)!

    ...out for your inverter, and 4x midi fuses for your DC-DC, 12v DC fusebox, MPPT etc. You'll need to set the temperature cut off on your DCC50S as the eco-worthy battery doesn't have that built in. I'd also suggest using a shunt or you'll have no way of telling your battery state of charge -...

    Glad you got it sorted (and that you had a socket set with you)

    Alternator upgrade

    The Renogy DCC50S charges at 50A if there's no solar input and that's plenty for my Roamer seatbase battery.

    Solar PV DC Isolation Switches

    Bringing up this thread again as I am undecided about this. Do the regs for the UK not specify that a solar PV isolator switch should be fitted? @Stay Frosty do you have a link for the switch you are using?

    Another failed flexible solar panel

    ...carried away with solar panel size this is what an average days 200 watts looks like on my shunt display after going through the Renogy DCC50S with two Renogy 175 watt flexi panels on the poptop. Note the fridge was pulling 3.5 Amps out at this point too, if they got anywhere near their...
