Hi, thanks, I literally just picked up on the Renogy from another post :-) I bought this Fogstar
RE the cables -I believe it is 8AWG, not 100% sure without taking seat out though, but happy to upgrade the cables if needed.
Well the foxgstat 105 is a great battery so you're sorted there.
As you say you need to remove that split charge relay.
Any of those charges will work well so it's personal preference.
But I would say go for the Victron unit because you already have a victron mppt and that way they will...
@Stay Frosty I think you just saved me £300. I really like the idea of the Renogy DCC50S unit......MPPT and DC-DC all in one rather than the two Victron units I had in mind. I also like the adaptability of having the two original skts for hooked up and also the Inverter skts for when off grid. I...
I, and lots of people on here, have the DCC50S (big brother to the DCC30S) and it's been great for me. It does have a limitation on the solar panel which makes the max panel size around 200W.
Can't comment on the Ring product, maybe someone else will.
I too have a Leoch Explorer Xtreme 110Ah and that sits underneath my drivers (OEM swivel) seat alongside the night-heater pipe. My DC-DC charger is elsewhere but may just fit beside it
I have the above equipment for sale. Recently bought to upgrade my current Sterling DC to DC charger. I have decided to ditch the upgrade project due to difficulty in running larger cables for the 50 Amp unit.
Item for sale is the same package as attachment. I am looking for £250 if collected...
My Renogy experiences ie. flexible solar panels, DCC50S b2b/mppt, 1000watt inverter and smart shunt battery display have been spot on.
The Roamer battery is a beast but a 100A Renogy version would actually be adequate here as the solar input from two 175 watt panels outstrips the demand from...
Hi Jim, it’s the 50A Renogy DC-DC and it’s the latest version after the original 50A failed.
The new one has a larger heat sink and some other improvements. But because I have it mounted under the front seat with less than optimal cooling I used the Renogy App to dial down the maximum charging...
Fair point, but in those 2 scenarios, you’re adding an isolator to overcome flaws further down the line. Scenario 1 could certainly be eliminated by speccing a decent battery. I’m not sure about scenario 2 as I’m not familiar with the kit, but it sounds like a fudge.
...i can think of where a DC PV isolator may be required.
1- to disable PV in winter time when you have a lithium battery with no Low Temp protection.
2- to disable PV input to combi dc-dc+MPPT chargers ( like the renogy DCC50s ) to get full power from the engine bay and not split 50/50.
.....
FYI . .
the solar VOC max input on the DC50s is 25V ( so you need to connect panels in parallel - up to 330w / 660W )

So far for me - absolutely spot on. Very little charge fall off (appreciate my previous AGM must have been shot) but for the price and that I’ll get twice the usable Ah out of it - can fault it for the price so far. About to go on a trip, so will get its first real world test. Not much of a...
Heya folks.
Another battery size question I’m afraid. I’m looking and putting a Renogy DCC50S 12V 50A DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT, fuse box and bus bars under there too.
Has anyone got any tips on what battery will fit? My next step is to mock up the sizes with cardboard boxes...
The Victron Orion runs very hot and may need forced cooling.
You can program the current limiter on the Renogy dcc50s.... So you can set it at 30A if you wished...
I show the Orion,CTEK, Renogy, Redarc over here...
I'm presuming you have the Roamer Bluetooth app? Is that not showing the Ah numbers ticking up slowly with the engine on idle? 0.01 at a time? Surely a Renogy user lurks in our midst? I'm only familiar with the Victron gear where it is very easy to disable the alternator charging regime without...
...answer your last point about the harvesting advantage of panels in parallel it was more the upper solar voltage input limit of 25V on the DCC50S, with the panels in series I would be getting 40 odd volts so a non starter.
I went by the Renogy figures for the amps output on the panels but then...
...to the solar isolator input side in the wardrobe below.
From the isolator it's back to 6.00mm2 for the run behind the kitchen units to the DCC50S below the drivers seat, I've got a 30A fuse on this run by the B2B charger which I could realistically drop to 20A as the two lots of 8.5A per...
I got the run around from Renogy asking about the specific installation. (They wanted pics and videos of the fitted charger)
They didn't answer about the actual question I asked..... So back to square one.
We need someone to test it out with a fitted unit.
