Hello FJR, Thank you for reaching out and for your technical questions. Please note that the load terminals on the charge controller will be a direct reflection of the battery bank voltage. In other words, if you have a 24-volt battery bank, the charge controller will output 24-volts at the load terminals. Please contact us with any other questions, have a great day.
Hello CB, We would recommend connecting your solar panels in series and the higher voltage would minimize the wire gauge required between the charge controller and the solar panel. We would recommend using 10-AWG wire, please contact us if you have any other questions, have a wonderful day.
Hello, The BT-1 module is not included and must be purchased separately. Please reach out to us if you have any other questions, have a wonderful day.
Hello Braden, We would not recommend using two 40-amp charge controllers on the same battery bank as they cannot communicate with each other and this may result in one of the units reducing charging current prematurely. Please contact us if you have any other questions, have a wonderful day.
Hi, Thank you for reaching out and choosing Renogy. Our Renogy charge controllers do have a blocking diodes that will prevent any kind of back-feed to the solar panels. Please contact us if you have any other questions or concerns, have a wonderful day.
Yes it prevents backflow have had this for about three years now has worked flawless
Hello Nate, Thank you for reaching out to us and choosing Renogy. We see the ACR message on the screen when the charge controller is trying to activate a Lithium battery from the lockout stage. This ACR message may also appear if the charge controller does not detect any voltage or extremely low voltage on the battery terminals. We would recommend reaching out to us and we can assist with troubleshooting your charge controller.
Hello Howie, You will be able to use anything on that load terminal as long as it is the same voltage as the battery and under 20a. The load terminal is essentially a shortcut to the battery terminals but with a 20a limit. Most customers I have talked to use the load terminal attached to a string of lights if their controller needs some lighting or a fan if the fan is under the rated amperage/voltage. The load terminal will regulate based on a timer set by the load mode and if the panels are getting voltage. For example, if the load is set to 0 the load terminal will turn on when the sun goes down and turn off when the sun comes up.
Hello Howie, Thank you for your question and your feedback. Please note the load terminals are completely optional and are available to connect a 12-volt load directly to your charge controller. You may also use the load terminals to run the respective load on a timer. The load terminal is rated at 20-amps Maximum. Please contact us if you have any other questions or concerns, have a wonderful day.
Yes, this cable is included.
Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us and your questions. The Rover charge controller will include the USB to RS-232 Converter Cable, allowing you to communicate with your computer using our monitoring station software. Please contact us if you have any other questions, have a wonderful day/
