I'm seeing it compared to the ecoflow river 2. The benefit of the bluetti is it's solar charge wattage potential but neither appear to able to dual charge.

Taken from the Renogy website: https://uk.renogy.com/renogy-rover-20-amp-mppt-solar-charge-controller/ 6.How many watts can Renogy Rover 30 amp charge controller handle? The Rover MPPT charge controller can work with standard off-grid 12/24V solar panels with high voltage or multiple panels...

Ok. Well, the LifePo batt is won't be connected until I take the bike and trailer out. That charge controller is exactly the type of second purchase I'll be going for, if not a little on the small side- slightly OT but can I connect panels in 24v mode to charge a 12v battery or does it have to...

Actually, that doesn't quite answer my question. I mean do I need to disconnect the battery charger function of the controller from the battery when the inverter is delivering power?

Thanks. I'm visualising the scenario where the controller is augmenting power delivery from the battery to the inverter and not the inverter 'pulling the controller down' to a point where it might shut down the controller completely. BTW, the controller can be disconnected from all three...

I have this kit: https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/25w-12v-monocrystalline-solar-panel-trickle-charger-kit?variant=40700172304533 It is connected to this battery...

I dont have the luxury of a replacement battery. I get quite nervous thinking about the cost and availability of a replacement when I actually need one.

Sorry for the late response. Yes, there are 'some things' to take away from your replies that, as a noob, I'm not aware of. I have my eye on modular expansion rather than a turnkey system so a grasp of the fundamentals is in my own interest. Regards, all.

Well, as we managed to get about 4 hours uninterrupted sunshine last week it seems to have become a bit clearer. While the controller does seem to be a 'bit off' from it's noted params is does roughly what it's supposed to when there's enough sunlight.

Question: how do you determine when a LiFePo battery is in need of a recharge? If you look at the following Pb acid .V. lifepo DoD graph: https://www.thepilotgroup.co.uk/lithium-ion-battery-vs-lead-acid-battery/ it's reasonably easy to infer when the lead batt could do with a recharge. Do...

I did once fall off a motorbike going backwards.

I have the most basic 12v/10a kit from ecopower/solar or whatever they are called. I have a 600W inverter connected directly to my battery (through a shunt). This will charge my ebike battery which, while not the kits intended purpose, is one of mine. I was advised to totally isolate the charge...

Well my cheapass controller shuts the load off at 11.1v. I can use the inverter direct from the battery and drop it more but I'll still testing the rather poor limits of the controller. As my load is less than 10A I am deliberatley using the controller load out. for now.

We get a lot of sun over here. Maybe a couple of hour a month :( I'm trying to avoid using a charger and would rather rely on the performance of the kit/conditions to dictate. As I appreciate, it's not going very well.

This is the kit: https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/25w-12v-monocrystalline-solar-panel-trickle-charger-kit?variant=40700172304533&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=Facebook+Shopping&fbclid=IwAR382vzj7PlIVNt9qG71UwRBX7TLWJLu8mh_lRH2aMVxyAz00WY9fXBPbno It's set up as intended. The...

I know it is theoretically possible but has anyone actually hooked up a pv system to an electric vehicle?

I meant while it's moving
