Download Your Free Renogy DC to DC MPPT Wiring Diagram
Today we are installing the Renogy DC to DC MPPT Charge Controller (https://amzn.to/3NXDJiJ).
Although I have had troubles with this unit in the past, it is a really cool charge controller and I do recommend it. This charge controller has the capabilities to charge both your house batteries and your starter batter from your solar panel. It also has the built-in DC to DC charger to charge your lithium batteries while you drive as well as from the solar panels. It really is an awesome unit for van life. The only downfall to the unit is it's only capable of inputting 25 volts from your panel. So if your array puts out more than 25 volts this isn't the unit for you.
In this video, I go through a few basic components of the van conversion solar system and also show you how to do a few wiring basics. My camera died while I was wiring the whole system and had no idea so I missed a few key parts of wiring the charge controller. However, I cover everything I missed at the end of the video with a wiring diagram breakdown of the entire system.
I hope in the near future Renogy can develop a DC to DC MPPT Charge Controller that can input more than 25 Volts. Because this really is a pretty awesome all-in-one unit for your van conversion.
