    Hi, thank you for the review ! i have a question . . i have a problem with my anker powerhouse 757 if there is not enough solar power coming in my anker powerhouse 757 goes tilt mode and turn off all output ports for my cool box and chargers connected to my anker powerhouse . if i put this device between the solar panel and the anker powerhouse you think this will work to turn off my anker powerhouse before it goes tilt mode ?

  • @shalamigri
    @shalamigri 2 месяца назад

    Trying to figure out if something like this would work for me. I'm currently running a dual battery setup with an H6 Optima Yellow Top as a house battery which is isolated from the main battery with an automatic isolator. Charging voltage is usually anywhere from 14V to 14.8V, but seems to charge closer to 14V most of the time. My Bluetooth battery monitor started showing signs that the battery wasn't holding a decent towards the end of December. I finally had to the pull the house battery and put it on an Optima 400 charger/maintainer this weekend. I'm sure that sulfation occurred because I had to charge and drain it multiple times before it would hold a good charge. It seems to be OK now, but I was wondering if a DC to DC charger would work better. This is on a 2017 Chevy Silverado. DC to DC charger would be installed in the engine compartment (if that's ok). The H6 Yellow Top is a 72 AH AGM battery. Recommend charging current: Alternator: 13.65 to 15.0 volts, no amperage limit. Battery Charger: 13.8 to 15.0 volts, 10 amps maximum, for approximately six to twelve hours. Cyclic Applications: 14.7 volts, no current limit as long as battery temperature remains below 125°F (51.7°C). When current falls below one amp, finish with two-amp constant current for one hour. Rapid Recharge: Maximum voltage 15.6 volts (regulated), no current limit as long as battery temperature remains below 125°F (51.7°C). Charge until current drops below one amp. Float Charge: 13.2 to 13.8 volts, one amp maximum current, time indefinite (at lower voltage). Strictly adhere to all limits. Trying to decide if one of these DC to DC chargers would be better for me and if so, which one would work best for me.

    Good explnatory video but PLEASE delete the heavy metal music that serves as an irritating distraction. It adds nothing to the video and frankly reallly spoils it. Music accompaniment is completely unneccessary to any instructional video. If a viewer wishes to listen to music whilst watching instructional videos then they are of course able to put on music of their choice at any time.

  • @MJ-om1qm

    The Orion Tr Smart gets to hot without a fan as it has only 88% efficiency. So it reduces charge current just after 15 min driving. Probably it has the lowest efficiency out there. I would recommend to go for a fan cooled dc-dc charger instead, if maximum charge current is important.

  • @curranhouse
    @curranhouse 5 месяцев назад

    This is a great video. If you have a Victron mppt and panel going to main battery can this be used to take the 2nd output from the mppt to the Orion? The 2nd battery is charged when the vw bus is running via the ecu as it's a factory 2nd battery. This is to divert solar power from the mppt to the 2nd battery when the bus is stood up and intention off? 😁👍🏼

I would like to replace the PDU with separate units, one of them being this charger. How does this work when the engine is running, does this charge unit stop charging and let the engine take care of it? Also when I plug into a hookup and the engine is off, do I charge both the leisure and vehicle batteries with this?

    I remain confused in regards to Isolated & Non Isolated to charge our 400ah LifePo4 batteries ********We have a trailer that is electrically connected: 1) via the 7 pin plug so that signals, brake and running lights work with voltage input from the vehicle, a bonded GROUND needs to be maintained for use. 2) I assume the negative entering the trailer from the 7 pin connector is grounded to the trailer frame. 3) also the ground is connected by way of metal to metal physical connection at the hitch. 4) the 7 pin connector also has a small conductor (12vdc) used for house battery charging. ******* We know we will be disconnecting the 12vdc charge wire to the trailer and running #6 awg. from engine compartment to the B2B Victron 12/12-30 installed in the battery compartment in the trailer. ****************************The Question************************ Which Version of 2B do we need Isolated or Non Isolated?
