  • Post in thread: Two solar panels in series produce NOTHING

    I tested with the cigarette adapter and it works just fine. The second 100W Renogy arrives tomorrow - will report results soon. Thanks!
  • Post in thread: Minimalist Solar Package but with DC to DC

    This setup is perfect for my needs https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/the-minimalist-great-for-small-vans-and-cars.html but I think I want to switch the MPPT for one that also does the DC TO DC - probably the...
  • Post in thread: The Very Budget MPPT Controller (a manual switch) for Xt60?

    Hello, You all were so helpful with my last post. Thank you! I have an Ecoflow River Pro - I charge it with a solar panel on the roof of my van or via the cars cigarette lighter. Right now I manually plug in the source that will have the most power (give the most charge) so when i am driving...

    I believe I tried that - bought two "Y" connectors and attached it all - zero input then too. What does that say/mean?
  • Post in thread: Two solar panels in series produce NOTHING

    Each panel works when connected to my EcoFlow Pro via the solar/car input. One is a Renogy 100W the other is an EcoFlow 160w foldable panel. When I connect in series with the 100W Renogy positive is connected to the EcoFlow negative and the Renongy negative is connected to the battery and the...
  • Post in thread: PowerQueen 100Ah Minis are $280 Shipped on eBay Through PowerQueen EU (Ship from California)

    As someone that is slowly gathering parts for a van build - these seem like an incredible deal when compared to BattleBorn or other more popular brands. They seem directly comparable unless I am missing something. Thanks!

    Thanks for all the answers. It is the River Pro and I don't have a volt meter- I think as several of you suggested it is above the max input accepted by the EcoFlow model. I am going to get another Renogy 100W. Thanks!

    Thanks! Appreciate the thoughts. It does seem like the Battleborn might also offer freeze protection and I don't see that listed for these?
  • Post in thread: Miniboard for Minivan

    This is very similar to the setup I am moving to. I have a smaller Ecoflow battery in my minivan and I want to add some capacity. When I bought the van a couple of years ago I had a local garage run a line from the battery into the back of the van and they did add a fuse at the battery. I have...
  • Post in thread: Use my 100W Solar to Trickle Charge the Car Battery?

    I have a 100W panel on the roof of my minivan that charges an EcoFlow River Pro battery through one of those XT60i connectors. I travel internationally and am sometimes away from my van for weeks. I would love to use the solar panel to trickle charge the van (Honda Odyssey) battery. Based on my...
