12V 30A DC to DC Charger with MPPT, On-Board Battery Charger for Gel, AGM, Flooded and Lithium Batteries, Using Multi-Stage Charging, Charger for Solar Panel and Alternator, in RV, Car, Marine

I got this for my van build. The sun doesn't always shine but the wheels keep a-turning! I would highly recommend this thing if you're built right for it. MAKE SURE YOUR ALTERNATOR CAN HANDLE THE EXTRA LOAD!!!! Aftermarket high output alternators highly recommended. This unit reliably pulls 48 to 50 amp and up to 700 w when it's really cranking. BE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FUSES AND OVERSIZED WIRE! If you disregard my warnings you stand the real risk of killing your alt and possibly burning yourself to the ground. It's a lot of juice. Handle it with respect. Do your math and your homework. Also keep in mind that a ton of heat is being generated at the charger. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation to dispell the excess heat and I would advise putting a couple cheap thermostat controlled laptop fans on it. They're like 6 dollars. This will help preserve the charger and prevent excessive heat build up in your cabinet. I actually put a large laptop fan in the air intake opening I put on my cabinet and another to exhaust the heat from the box. Otherwise It's very easy to hook up and required nothing special to hook up and fire up. Worth every cent. Just don't wing it , ok? It's not cheap and messing with this stuff without the right information and prep could cost you dearly.

Installed in a bus conversion to take advantage of the alternator charging my LiFePo4 batteries when the engine is running and being able to trickle charge the starter batteries while parked. Seamless installation, robust connectors and after I ordered and installed the BT-2 hardware, the app provides all the pertinent information in real time. Time will determine the durability of the device, but it's working great thus far. Cheers!

I upgraded my solar panel with the shade tech panel. Then found out I needed to upgrade to this 50amp dc/dc charger from my 30 amp This works well and keeps the batteries top off. If I read the instructions correctly it even charges my automotive start battery if it gets run down.

Super easy to install and charges really well. Renogy make incredibly well build products and I would highly recommend. It allows us to run the fridge when travelling in our trailer on battery power without running down the battery. You do need to ensure you run the correct wire gauge for the length of your run from your vehicle battery to the charger. I would also recommend to get the appropriate circuit breakers for safety.

I've had this wired up in my vehicle for a few months and it's doing a great job. I've regularly seen it pushing over 40A through the battery. 45 minutes driving a day is enough to keep my fridge running 24/7. Knowing how fast I can charge the battery I wish I'd bought a smaller one!
