Yes I have a similar issue, it sometimes won't charge the battery until i select battery priority after i have plugged in.

Not on the 3000 or 2000 watt version BUT the REGO 12V 3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger w/ LCD Display has bluetooth, but only available in USA I think..

@@mowgliadventures5773 so why can’t I use it in Australia you know all I need to do is step down our 240 Volts to 120 Volts on the input and on the output step up the 120 Volts to 240 Volts will that work?

@@corkystephan5073 yes it would, if you can get Renogy to sell you one. Of course stepping up and down voltages will introduce a loss of energy.

Ok when you pull up at a caravan park and plug in your motor home then it will be earthed hahahaa you get it

And there’s nothing stopping you from bashing in an earth stake and earthing your motor home when you stop somewhere because by some freek situation that you just might cop a direct strike from a lightning bolt an earth stake will determine you live or die via a direct strike from a direct hit does that make any sense to you

Thanks for your support. It is because Renogy have put these kits on sale. sorry

Stay tuned for our new campervan electrics design service launch.

there are control buttons on the front to select multiple battery types including a user defined parameter.

The maths are very simple.... 2000w / the base VAC. For example, USA 2000w/110vac = 18a. the rest of the world 2000w/240vac = 8.3a.

Let’s say you hook up 120 volt generator powering at on 15 amp. How will the invert handle it?

If the inverter-charger is set for the AC output will come from the battery bank and the generator will be used to "charge" the battery. If The unit is set to , the generator will supply the Unit AC output and any spare energy will go to charging the battery.@@KODIAKJAYMZ

I tend to agree that the core one and renogy 1 is lacking full integration with the renogy products. I asked Renogy for Zigbee product recommendation for level, temps etc. But nothing yet. The downside of going cerbo is upgrading to all Victron. Have you had a look at Simarine?I

You only use renogy's batteries that have a bluetooth function. it possible I believe to use zigbee coms but I don't know how to yet.

Thanks we are looking at iways to mprove our videos.

I have not tested that function. I have used it in both Utility and Battery priority. I prefer utility priority as it seems to work and charge the battery better.

The current output/input from this unit is max 60a. 8 AWG is the max wire size for a P75 connector, and over longer distances ( +6m), you might lose 10% of energy for the period that 60 amps is flowing. Using an anderson connector is an easier installation.

I am not sure there are any setting for SOC,

I am not sure I understand you question?

@@mowgliadventures5773 the app for this charger allows the user to adjust how much current the charger delivers. I wanted to know more about this feature, but I've now found the manual. You can set the current from 10-60A, in 10A increments.

thank you for your kind words. I am so glad your system works well for you.

Yes, I know, lithium batteries don't like cold temperatures. The heater kicks in at 5*c until the battery reaches 10*C. In cold weather like now, I also need to put a heater in the van to warm the battery and take charge, even though it is inside the main living area. It is a limitation we have to work around. If you travel to extreme locations regularly, as I have previously, you should return to GEL-type batteries.

great news, thanks

Sorry will try to fix it.

That's good news, at least if you only have 1x 200Ah Core Battery you can connect it to Core One . As of today US, CA and UK have it , Sold out AU and not on posted on the EU site. Let's hope they release a bigger Amp bluetooth shunt

I don't know which 12v battery you mean. I know if a Renogy 12v over-discharges, it shuts down, and when a charger is put on, it usually powers up. There is a Renogy Hotline number if the over-discharge function has operated and it doesn't kick in. It is not a sponsored video. Renogy gave me this to review.

@@mowgliadventures5773 surely if they gave you the battery it's a sponsored video

It is not a sponsored video. Its just my review of their battery. @@sun-sea-solar

I agree, 'hang it vertically or horizontally, but NOT FLAT' at 5:42. Yes it helps with heat dispersion, but to also try and provide a little more water splash or condensation protection from any drips not resting on the front of the unit and display screen. Good luck with the new set up, the (Voc): 23.9V on those will allow both panels to be wired in series if you want to.

This controller will detect the 24v battery and charge that from the panels. If you then want to run a 12v system you will need to install a 24-12v step down transformer. It will cause some energy losses though.

@@mowgliadventures5773 so I would have to use a 12 volt battery then for a 12 volt load or a 24 volt battery for a 24 volt load

That's the most energy efficient way, @@jah6269

@@mowgliadventures5773 thanks for your response

What power are you getting? Do you know the Voc and Isc. How are they wired? Series or parallel or mixed? Let’s see what the maths say before need to spend ££

Or subscribe to the email on this post to get a free solar design tool that will tell you recommended wire sizes per config. It’s half way down the post mowgli-adventures.com/rv-solar-calculator/

@mowgliadventures5773 so right now my 6 12v 100w have produced a max of 360-370w all wired in parallel. And that's in full sunlight in July. I would assume being a 12v 600w system in full sunlight I would at least see 500w entering the charge controller. But even the smallest things like battery chargers and 12v lights seem to start pulling from my battery bank during full sun

So it might be wires sizes from the joined array to the Mppt, they will restrict the energy flow. I reckon 25mm2 (4awg) for a 4m run to Mppt & circa 50a fuse. From the mppt to the battery 16mm2 (6awg) at 1 meter length with 60amp fuse. @@brandonshepherd3317

@@brandonshepherd3317try wiring the panels in series. Higher voltage and less current on your wires. In parallel your pushing to low of voltage and to many amps through your wires. It’s also possible you have a bad panel.

300w per day? or consumption per hour? it should be fine especially if you are using a battery.

​@@mowgliadventures5773 I use my Summer Room as an office, it has a small server that doesn't use more than 180W, during the day so I was thinking of buying a cheap solar kit to just keep the server and some other small devices running. Would be also an experience to later install a bigger one on the house roof (or, at least, understand how it's done)

Should be fine if you have good weather. You might want to consider a small battery to act as a UPS? @@zedtrek

I am not sure what you mean. Low L load cut-off from the battery to the load circuits would be a separate unit. If you mean, the house battery is low and the starter battery is low. It only operates once either battery has reached a prescribed voltage. Only then will it operate to supply the other battery as long as the supplying battery has sufficient voltage.

@@mowgliadventures5773 traditionally this is done by the solar controller, so this should be pointed out as its easily missed that they left this circuit and output terminals out of this design, to save money and because its maybe less needed with people direct wiring their inverters to the battery and li batteries having a low voltage bms cutout. but if you are running lead, and small loads, or want a configurable LVD than this charger doesnt do that.

I am sorry for my confusion. I thought we were talking about something else.🥴🥴 This MPPT controller has Built-in Bluetooth, which allows you to monitor the REGO charge controller on your smartphone with the Renogy DC Home App and on the Renogy One M1 display unit if fitted. Correct, it does not have a Load connection, like many other Mppt controllers, but I have said in many videos on solar controllers I do not see a sensible use for this function. You may have a use. This unit does have multiple battery type selections, and the user a configurable setting, too. Battery low voltage cut off is by the Renogy LI battery BMS. AS for other battery types, you will need to buy a separate unit. Victron have one, and I don't think Renogy does.

@kimmer6 wow thats great to hear the improvement on your array.

Looking at using these to charge our 48 volt Absolyte GX battery bank. I would be interested in seeing how you set up your 24 volt system and what type of equipment (panels, inverter) you are operating on! We are starting with an Conext SW4048 prewired system with Outback Controller. I would like to push as much power into the battery bank (2,000 amp hour) that we are able. We are located in Northern Nevada and hope to use very limited generator power (fully off grid).

@@rongray4118 Mine is a home made system. It has a dozen Chins 300 amp hour batteries in a cabinet/console that has several inverters on its top shelf. 3600 amp hours currently. The main inverter is a Sungoldpower 6000 watt split phase heavy duty low frequency unit. There are 2 other 3000 watt WZRELB high frequency inverters to run low load circuits running chest freezers 24/7. These have low parasitic loss compared to the 6000 watt inverter charger's 86 constant watt draw. The 2 Renogy 60 amp MPPT's are on 2 separate solar strings with the lightning arrestors and fuses up by the roof and a pair of 100 amp switches that can disconnect either or both of the inputs to the solar chargers on the console. There are times when the battery pack is at 100% and I shut down one or both charge controllers until the system gets down to 70%, then maybe turn one back on. The loads are all over the map and as the seasons change, there are times that all solar input is appreciated...November through February. The 2 panel face the sun at different times and having 2 charge control units maximizes the input from each. These are dual face panels somewhere around 400 watts, new, left over from a friend's project that never got built. Less than ideal for me, but these happen to be just at the very edge of the Renogy input specs for June/July sun without overpaneling the charge controllers. There are also a pair of Aims 24 volt battery chargers on the panel that can be powered up by 120 volt generators for 70 amps total output. The Sungoldpower 6000 watt can be used as a charger but needs the 240 volt output of the Onan diesel generator as a source, loud and stinky, used as a last resort if needed. I think it charges at 90 amps. I built a bunch of smaller systems for family, friends for their RV's and my camper van. The Renogy MPPT charge controllers, inverters, DC-DC chargers, and battery meters have been really reliable in the last few years for me. Another thing that was cheap to do and is a surprisingly good tool was to add an Amazon $50 ''pet camera'' to the console that is aimed at the Renogy shunt battery meter. This means that I can see everything displayed on that meter from my cell phone instantly from many miles away. It has audio and I can hear if cooling fans are running. The higher dollar Victron Bluetooth smart shunt unit can't even read from just outside my shop 20 feet away. This panel uses the Eye4 pet cam but 2 other separate battery/inverter ststems have Reolink pet cams. Both good. And the advantage of having the Renogy battery meter is that you have all of the info on one screen at the same time without having to be there and scroll thru menus. I build units to be flexible and have components on hand in case something fails. I hope this helps.

@@rongray4118 Something wrong with YT posting here this morning. 2 long replies from me to you did not go through, disappeared. Will try later!

Mine...3600ah, 6000w split phase inverter charger with 90 amp charge, two 3000 watt high frequency inverters, 2 Aims 120 volt battery chargers for 70 amp charge, two 60 amp Renogy MPPT units fed by 2 strings of panels that get different sunlight at different times of day. The 6000 inverter charger needs the 240 volt generator to function. sounds like you have a nice system.

I am not sure it does, this rRgo unit is 12v only, The Rover line is 12, 24 and some larger units even 48vs so hopefully Rover will get back in stock soon. 🙂

Great news on out side mounting? Is the module waterproof?

yes it is ok , i have it mounted upright, just make sure you have good ventilation.

14.3v and 13.7v 'ish
