So recently I cobbled together a box to basically utilize a Victron 100 | 50 MPPT Solar Charger.
Why 🤷♂️? ,,, Well the first 100|50 worked very well until one day when about to hook up the alligator clamps, I stood “red 2 red” & “black 2 black” & while pondering the tiny spark I was...
So @HarryN asked me to post a bit about my Rolls AGM experience.

I consider the combiner box a choice for future upgrades, but...
