Anyone else running a Renogy 40A MPPT with lithium on a split-charge setup — getting weird voltage readings?
ColCrane replied: @KarenEvans Had almost exactly this with a Victron MPPT and a LiFePO4 setup — the issue for me turned out to be where the voltage sense wire was picking up its reference point.

Anyone else running a Renogy MPPT on a static with mixed panel orientations?
Hey @BurnGlen, classic mixed orientation headache! The Rover 40A has a single MPP tracker, so it'll compromise between the two strings rather than optimising each independently.

Anyone else running a Victron SmartSolar into a 48V system for EV charging — what MPPT size are you on?
ColCrane | Posts: 412 @KangooBuild Worth checking your actual peak current delivery in VictronConnect — the 100/50 will hard-cap at 50A output regardless of what your panels can theoretically...

Can I run two DC-DC chargers in parallel?
Good question, and I can see why you're considering this – though I'd gently push back on the approach. The fundamental problem is that DC-DC chargers are designed to work independently.
