Mine is a vanner converter equalizer that was basically gifted to me. Victron makes a nice 70A, orion 24-12 that would be my choice as it is small enough to fit in under the power panel, or down behind the kickpanel. Did videos on utube under username Rronmar...
Dammit Keith! :) The solar is probably keeping the batts in a good place, so your alt has nothing better to do as soon as you start up, so the added load is probably not a big deal.
unfortunately alternators don’t work like that... they are a constant voltage power supply and dont know nothing about battery float voltage. Being a constant voltage supply, all they know is to make rated voltage until the load is so great they are unable to maintain that. I have actually...
10-40V… then the signal off of K11 pin 87A should work fine as engine sense.
yes you can use surplus alt power when the service batteries are fully charged, but thats the problem, knowing the batts are full, and if you are still running four of the 6T batts, that can take quite a while to...
How many truck batteries are you running? If you have 4, all the output of the 100A alt is spoken for. they really screwed up putting 4 large batts with this dual volt 100A alt(basically two 50A alts in series). The lighting load is half of your available 12v output and any 12v load...
Yea there is no discrete contact closure, K11 would give you 24V. You could use that drive a second relay as well,as enable the alternator to get a dry contact closure. You could also get a voltage sense module to monitor system voltage. When it goes over 13.8V it could provide the control...
