* //Editors Note:// Quality/support issues aside, I am a huge fan of the [[https://www.renogy.com/dcc50s-12v-50a-dc-dc-on-board-battery-charger-with-mppt/|Renogy DCC50S]]. It combines a 50 amp DC-to-DC charger along with a highly efficient 50 amp [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|MPPT solar charge controller]] in a single unit. This can take a lot of the complexity out of an electrical system design, and does it for an //extremely// good price. | * //Editors Note:// Quality/support issues aside, I am a huge fan of the [[https://www.renogy.com/dcc50s-12v-50a-dc-dc-on-board-battery-charger-with-mppt/|Renogy DCC50S]].

* Weird "gotcha" that isn't documented in any of the manuals; the "Trickle Charge" function that allows the solar panels to charge the vehicle battery //does not// work if the house battery type is Lithium. | * Weird "gotcha" that isn't documented in any of the manuals; the "Trickle Charge" function that allows the solar panels to charge the vehicle battery //does not// work if the house battery type is Lithium. |
* IMO, this one device can probably supply the needs of 90% of most van electrical system builds. | * IMO, this one device can probably supply the needs of 90% of most van electrical system builds. |
* They also sell a smaller 30 amp version, which is good for smaller vans/cars that might not need as much capacity | * They also sell a smaller 30 amp version, which is good for smaller vans/cars that might not need as much capacity |
