...the clarification.
So EHU to Victron Charger which could be permanently rigged to starter battery which then sends a charge via the Renogy DCC50S to the Leisure battery?
Is this an unusual set-up then?
Seems like a useful one or is it that the starter battery would rarely need a top-up on...
The Renogy DCC50S is a good call, I have one. There are plenty of photos and build descriptions on here for you to look at.
I have an ABB female socket under my bonnet with an inline RCB which runs through the scuttle behind the veh battery and through an existing rubber grommet which brings...
Thanks for the info, I think the Renogy DCC50S is the one I want to go for and looked at getting the BT sensor too, I'm thinking of doing an under the drivers seat install, just looking at batteries, solar panels and ac chargers now.
I am happy with doing the 240v hookup part, it is everything...
...which we don't either side of Christmas for a couple of month plus, then I turn off the leisure battery isolator and the solar panel isolator meaning no chance of alternator or solar input via the Renogy DCC50S.
Waeco fridge door is left on the ventilate catch and the van gets used as a...
...the EHU hookup charger to the starter battery, which would charge both LB and SB, LB being charged indirectly via the SB charger.
In short:
DCC50S only ever charges LB
Victron 240v charger only ever charges SB
DCC50S is activated by the increased SB voltage, either when the SB is being...
...at 100% with still over 200A available first thing in the morning leaving me to turn off the panels and recently throttle back the Renogy DCC50S app to 30A rather than 50A and stop blowing the 60A glass tube AGU type fuses I've installed... must change these to something like maxi fuses.
The...
...the auxiliary battery over to the drivers seat. Should save me feeding any wire between the seats as it's already there.
That's ideal if the DCC50S has low temp cutoff, I hadn't realised that!
Yup, got a wiring diagram from Vunked, though it wasn't exactly to my requirements, but that's...
I installed my Fogstar 230Ah LiFePO battery and Renogy DCC50S. I connected the Renogy app via Bluetooth and watched the setup hauling a full 50 amps from the alternator on tickover. Very happy with that.
Now I just need to rewire the electric hook up, all of the lights and USB charge sockets...
Sorry - mixed up my replies.
So I might've totally misunderstood what I think was a Dellmassive post about charging both the starter and leisure battery off the renogy dcc50s.
...I've been doing a lot of reading but seem to come across different answers, I'm trying to work out which size cable to use from starter to dcc50s to lithium to fuse and also to earth?
Some say 16mm2 others 25mm2, any electric gurus or people with this setup able to advise?
Thank you very...
...talking about it and then doing nothing. Main reason is I want a diesel heater in the next few months.
Anyway, I’m going to opt for a Renogy DCC50S and limit the charging current to 30A. I was eying up a 105Ah Fogstar lithium battery but they’re now out of stock. How do they measure up to...
...slices:thumbsup:
Get your Dymo labeller going and label the living shizzle out of the various conductors plus and minus, by now you should have a fag packet type wiring diagram idea of your system too and an idea of what's wrong if or when a component fails like my Renogy DCC50S did last weekend.
...up BM2 and it looks to be a blue tooth battery state of charge indicator so I'm guessing a shunt.
My problem with blue tooth info from my DCC50S or my Roamer battery is that I'm 65 and went to school in Victorian times so struggle to understand what's going on especially as with my Roamer...
Well that's sorted after getting another DCC50S from Renogy, £229 on offer for the basic unit as I've got the Bluetooth module already... but not the app... yes, I know, I'm a knuckle dragger.
Anyway we're charging from the solar and alternator so a happy bunny again, thought I'd include a...
I like your logic there and hadn't thought of starting on the curtains and pillowcases first.
I've got a Renogy DCC50S handling solar and alternator inputs with the stock VW 70A fuse on the alternator and a 30A glass tube type on the solar input, can't see either blowing really let alone both...
