...it up to spec for off grid solar etc as currently it only has a poxy 75ah lead battery. I've bought a 150ah lifepo4 along with the Renogy DCC50S for decent DC charging. Due to the leisure battery location I will be running 5 metres of 35mm pos/neg cables from the starter location to the...
Ordered another Renogy DCC50S as this one appears to have karked.:cry:
Solar, alternator and ignition trigger all there but no lights for their inputs just the blue led for lithium and slow flashing red led.
Too thick to get the Renogy app installed let alone operate via the Bluetooth module but...
I'll be honest using the Renogy DCC50S as the battery to battery charger with the additional panels on the roof I've only used my Victron IP22 30/12 once to put the initial charge into the seat battery.
I reckon doing the same thing after junking the Durite will see you in the same boat as the...
Can anyone explain why the DCC50S is charging my LiFePO4 battery at 14.4 volts, all day, when it's already fully charged.
It starts charging in Bulk mode when the sun comes up then, mid-morning, switches to Boost mode and charges for the rest of the day at 14.4v (0.5 - 0.7A)
The van's just...
...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...
...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...
...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...
...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 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...
