Great video! Appreciate the info. Just got the e1500lfp a few weeks ago and the 500 watt charger today. I have four 100 watt Renogy panels and ready to start exploring soon. Liked and subbed and hoping to see more about the ways you use this baby! Thanks for the time brother!👍✌️
These Pecrons 1500LFP's are so underrated. Just picked mine up 2 weeks ago for some overlanding and camping trips. Its fun playing around with them testing how much solar you can crank into it. I modded one of my diesel heater plugs battery terminal hookups to a xt60 plug so i can tap into that xt60 30A DC output port. Works flawlessly. I've seen some other videos stating to use only one solar intake barrel at a time and not to use both simultaneously with large solar watts coming in because the barrels cant take the heat and it'll burn out the MPPT ports.
Interesting, thx! Keeping voltage high and amps low is always the nest way to get max watts with minimum heat. But I can see that 5521 input getting hot... it's rated 7A only, but at 12V it will flow 8.3A before the 100W limiter, that would get hot. I do show that here, and it's a good point you make on heat.
Yah, this has me thinking, I use that 5521 input to "trickle charge" from a 12v LFP. It gives 99W. The LFP voltage is 13.4, that gives 7.5A. At 13.0V, where LFP is getting pretty much drained, it is 7.6A. So not bad. I haven't noticed that connector hot, but I will try draining whole 1280 Watt-hrs through there, and feel the Pecron and plug, see if it actually has any heat issue. I know the plug doesn't get hot, and doubt the Pecron does, but will feel.
