I have the same (?) setup. Morning Star has a MPPT version, as well. Mine is the old style (it is over 10 yo). I like the remote (wired) monitor. It also has temperature probe option, which might be useful for some. One issue with my monitor is that one of the buttons stopped working

I am in the process of figuring out adding solar to my two bank setup (start battery + house batteries) and have been looking at this one: https://www.renogy.com/dcc50s-12v-50a-dc-dc-on-board-battery-charger-with-mppt/ as a possibility. However, it is relatively expensive and doesn't include

I am looking for feedback on dual output controllers. I want to add a battery bank to my existing setup, but I have a single controller now. It’s a Renogy Rover 20A and has worked fine; however, they don’t offer a dual output controller currently. Thanks in advance for your help! Pete W.

I'd highly recommend trying to leave the new hose either out in the sun or use a heat gun to get it as playable as you can without exceeding the rated temperature You can use soap and water on the exterior but doesn't usually help as much and contra to what the heat will help with. Same goes

Thank you all for the suggestions. Using a coupler is a great idea, and have sourced one locally from HD, at an exorbitant price, $10. None of the local Lowes, WM or marine stores had any in stock and this project will be attempted tomorrow, so no time for shipping. Will try to run a

You're only going to get one shot if you tape it. If the tape comes loose, you're cooked. Get a barb coupling to attach old and new. Here's one for $4.
