    Bluetti EB70 solar panel/s to get closest to full 200w charging??

    I think you can put more than 200w into EB70 according to Bluetti technical as long as it doesn't go over the 28Voc. That is what they are telling me, they say I can use 300w panels as long as I don't exceed Voc.

    Hello from newbie, solar splitting/sharing question, experts please.

    If I disconnected the 12v out of Victron would this be OK, as disconnecting mc4 every time would be a pain. I do have a 80w 12v folding panel. Only downside is this needs doing up whilst stationery. Is there a way to charge EB150 from engine?
