    Hi @OP, good price, but I'd really like a screen (not just BT) to see what is going on, much like https://enerdrive.com.au/product/12v-40a-dc2dc-battery-charg…
    Do you have something similar?

  • Bullion78 on 11/03/2022 - 20:06

    Hi Rep, any promo prices on Renogy lifepo4's or just this product?

    No issues with my 30A one of these, only thing negative I've heard about Renogy is customer service can be hit and miss, products good quality.

      Hi,
      We have been expanding our customer service team.
      Hope to give our customers a better online shopping experience in the future.

  • ReqelinOz on 11/03/2022 - 20:38

    I've got the 50A version with solar. Very good DC-DC charger. Highly recommend

    Edit: only downside is it is a large unit. Not really suitable for under bonnet installations.

    • AssociatedJudy Yan @ Renogy on 11/03/2022 - 20:41

      Hi,
      We will give some advice to our product team. Hope that our products will be better and better to meet the needs of the market.

    • bamzero on 11/03/2022 - 20:54

      Pity only 25V solar input though.

      • syngen on 11/03/2022 - 20:59

        Yeah. That sucks. I just ordered the Rover LI this morning as my combined VOC was 40+
        Was waiting for an offer for the DCDC. Still unsure to get this 50A with MPPT or the 60A stand-alone.

        • MasterScythe on 12/03/2022 - 01:18

          Yep, needs to be at least 35v; since 33V panels are so common.

          More is better, but 25v limits you to a much smaller range.

          No scoring cheap panels from someone upgrading their house.

          • syngen on 12/03/2022 - 06:50

            @MasterScythe: Took the plunge and bought the 50A DCDC with MPPT. The Rover Li will handle the larger fixed house panels on the roof.
            Will wire the DCDC MPPT up for the mobile blanket (for when I’m parked in the shade or to boost solar charging).

            Besides, I read that if you use the MPPT on the DCDC while it’s charging from the alternator it limits it to only 25A. So, would be better not to use the MPPT while driving/charging.

            I went the 50A over the 60A because there’s at least some form of monitoring via BT.

            • ReqelinOz on 15/03/2022 - 12:28

              @syngen: Just be aware that the DC DC charger will automatically split the input off the alternator if it detects solar.

              Ie, you are in a tunnel and it will pull 50A.
              You drive out of the runner and your 250W solar panel starts outputting 10A. Therefore the DC-DC charger will cut the alternator charging to 25A. Meaning you get a total of 35A out of a 50A charger.

              Naturally this only occurs if you have a permanently mounted panel.

              I got around this by putting the PV system input into a relay that is triggered by the ignition source.

              • syngen on 15/03/2022 - 19:11

                @ReqelinOz: Yep.. Read about that too. I'm reserving the MPPT on the DCDC as input for a Solar Blanket (for when I'm parked in the shade).
                The fixed panels on the roof will be wired into Renogy Rover Li solar charge controllers.

  • syngen on 11/03/2022 - 20:44

    Hi. Any promo on the 60A DCDC charger?
    Also, can the BT-1 or BT-2 monitoring be used with the 60A DCDC charger?

    • AssociatedJudy Yan @ Renogy on 11/03/2022 - 20:51

      Here is the lsiting of 60A DCDC charger：https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07XSCRT81?ref=myi_title_dp. And we'll be doing a $5 coupon. Maybe you can order this product later. thank you!
      BT-1 or BT-2 monitoring can't be used with the 60A DCDC charger.

      • syngen on 11/03/2022 - 20:57

        Hrmmm thanks.

        Still deciding between the 50A with MPPT (more expensive) or pure 60A but no monitoring. Grrr. 😅

          If it is going in a caravan, I prefer having them separate. I travel during the daytime and it would be annoying to miss out on all of the solar while you are driving as the combined ones will only charge from your tug when it is available. In a 4wd or van or bus, the same would apply if you have fixed panels, but if you only have a portable panel or one that is only going to be used when you are stationary, the joint ones are more convenient IMO.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2022 - 21:00

    If I use it with non-Renogy Lithium battery, can I see charge level in % or Ah, charging current in Renogy DCHome app?

    • syngen on 11/03/2022 - 21:03

      My guess is that you’d probably need a smart shunt to do that.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2022 - 21:04

        like this? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333140454916

        • XeKToReX on 11/03/2022 - 21:18

          You can use the Renogy battery monitor which is around $100 or if you want Bluetooth etc then you can go a victron smart shunt.

          You need a shunt to get a good indicator of state of charge as lithium batteries have a much flatter voltage curve so it's not as easy to tell the state of charge purely by voltage.

            @XeKToReX: victron smart shunt is the way, thanks! I just thought its included in DCDC charger itself

            • syngen on 11/03/2022 - 21:35

              @[Deactivated]: I took a punt on a diff type of shunt. Graphical display with a BT app. Hope to get it soon. Starting my van build beginning April 😁

              • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2022 - 21:40

                @syngen: which one?

                  @[Deactivated]: Mind you. Bought from AliExpress. Not sure how well it works. But so far I’ve had more hits than misses when getting stuff from Ali.

          • jamesorion on 11/03/2022 - 21:44

            @XeKToReX: The battery monitor Renogy sells works well. I have one that is exactly the same but cheaper off ebay and it is very accurate. I can't imagine needing bluetooth. I have it on my Victron 240v charger but I never bother checking it. If you want it for the solar, get a controller with bluetooth.

            • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2022 - 21:59

              @jamesorion: hey guys. Do battery monitor or smart shunt consume power themselves? So if all load is disconnected from aux battery, the monitor/shunt will still discharge it slowly?

              • jamesorion on 12/03/2022 - 07:38
                +1

                @[Deactivated]: They do consume power, albeit a very small amount that isn't really noticeable to me. If you plan on leaving your system unused for weeks or months at a time you could always put a switch on the positive wire going to the monitor.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2022 - 21:25

    nice timing, im installing Redarc BCDC1240 tomorrow into my Prado lol

    • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2022 - 22:26

      This is not waterproof btw. You cannot install this under the hood, you’ll need Redarc for this.

  • timochy on 11/03/2022 - 21:35

    I have 4x 100ah wired in parallel in my van
    Would this charge 400ah bank?
    I have a feeling my ctek 250 doesnt like it

  • Roemac on 12/03/2022 - 11:30

    Hello rep - Maximum charge current says 50A: Is this a combined charge current of 25A max from the alternator/house battery and 25A max from Solar?

    EDIT: Will it only charge a maximum of 25A if I only have solar connected to it?

    • Wolfy on 12/03/2022 - 19:53
      +1

      From the product specs:
      Alternator Input Voltage : Traditional Alternator: 13.2-16VDC Smart Alternator (Euro 6): 12-16VDC Maximum Alternator Input Power : 660W
      From the Amazon listing:
      Maximum Solar Input Power 660W Max. Solar Input Voltage 25V

      So it appears that you'll get 50A from both inputs.

    • ReqelinOz on 15/03/2022 - 12:31

      Yes. It splits the charge equally.

      No PV: 50A off alternator
      PV: 25A off alternator, remaining off PV.

      The thing is, if your PV is feeding 10A, it won't up the alternator to ensure you have 50A. You will have a maximum of 35A.

      I got around this by putting the PV on a relay that opens when ignition is turned on. With an override of course.

  • Nico3 on 13/03/2022 - 01:41
