Renogy App, can it graph charge history.

[DaveCrampton]

I bought a Renogy DCC50S and fitted it last week. Fitting the ignition signal cable was simple, see my post below.

But operating the app, I was looking at everything to see what it is capable of. It's great, and can show input from bothe Engine and Solar, as well as showing live charging and history.



But I thought I found a graph history of the battery charge, similar to that the Victron charger can provide. I have not been able to find it again. Was I dreaming?

Thanks

Fitting the ignition cable is simple once you know how.

Red lead from the charger, tucked under the carpet into the fuse box under the dash in the centre. I had to lift the carpet starting with the passenger step, then the rubber door surround and then the carpet #. Then I reached in to pull the cable through from the fuse box.

The cable is crimped to a Piggyback mini fuse holder with a 3a fuse. The piggyback is pushed into an empty fuse holder in the centre row. In the past I have seen empty fuse holder WITHOUT spade terminals in empty slots, but VW appear to have been helpful in providing a live down the right hand side of the centre fuse column. Ensure the red lead comes off on the left and crimp it to your ignition cable.

I searched the forum for a concise description but felt it might be useful to have a simple guide here.

No history graph on the Renogy dc charger.

But you can use a BM2 unit to monitor the battery...

Thanks! I have one of those, after I initially read that thread. I have a double USB, a Kiravans battery monitor and a 12v socket. I suppose I could plug my monitor double USB plug into the rear. My problem is teenagers. They don't care what state the battery would be, unless it's not working. Yeah teenagers are binary, working charging, Good. Not working charging Bad!

@Dellmassive this was the original app screen shot (above) the app appears to have been simplified. No nice pictures explaining where the power is coming from. Just simple text. The white background doesn't read as well for me.
