    RV solar power sys w/ LIPOE4, gen. Auto start, idling charging, & ATS???

    Thanks 4 reply. I'm new to this stuff and $$$ are a key factor why inverters are MSW, but they have been running my 120v (110v) Appliances & main charging has been through alternator idling & driving. As for wanting a Delta 2 pro... yep $$$'s conflict, but at least finishing setup WITH THE...

    Alternator to MPPT PV INPUT???

    That's what I'm saying Mike. The 100a solar controller was able to supply 15.3v as charge voltage. I jumper connected negative of PV & BATTERY forcing PV to SEE battery voltage while discharging, thereby forcing alternator to increase current output... ( does that make sense ) ??? IT WORKED...

    Alternator to MPPT PV INPUT???

    @mikefitz.... Please elaborate.... "amp is to volts" as current is to amps right? So in a PV input.... PV using a higher VOLTAGE RATING OF SAY 165V " current " from sunlight conversion into panels IS IN EFFECT "AMPERAGE" RIGHT???? What am I missing???

    Renogy 50a dc dc mppt charging profile w/engine on

    Help me figure out alternator charging large lipoe4 banks & what device to connect to alternator b+ terminal. It seems using a high amp alternator could charge batteries within a few hours of idling without the noise of a generator for city boondock co Camping

    Alternator to MPPT PV INPUT???

    I have a 170A alternator, that I want to feed amps into my 100A MPPT solar charge controller to recharge my lipoe4 250A bank. By wiring with 1ga ofc wire, will I get a good amp to voltage conversion at the PV INPUT? IS THIS SAFE? I tested it ( I'm really a newbie ) & it worked really well {...
