It's very small, by most standards, but will give me basic power in an emergency. Today, I programmed a user setting for the LiFePO4 bank. People were telling me that the Renogy controller lithium preset was too aggressive. I also added two more breakers to that rail on the wall (one between each battery bank and the charge controller).

I am adding some of those breakers that Sean mentioned in a video too. 14 hours ago, RobertM said: Renogy controller lithium preset was too aggressive Does the Renogy have user programmable settings to adjust the max voltage down?

The Rover controller can be programmed using the older Renogy BT app with these parameters: High V Disconnect Charge Limit V Equalize Charge V Boost Float Boost Charge Return Over Charge Disconnect Return Low V Alarm Over-Discharge V Discharge Limit V Over-Discharge Disconnect Delay Equalize Charge Time Equalize Charge Interval Temperature Compensation Edited August 13, 2022 by RobertM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know Renogy is pretty popular, I try to help out RV folks in my area so if I run into someone that has Renogy good to know that there is a PC app to edit things. Epever has a similar app if you run into one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epever has a similar app if you run into one of those. It's little tricky, because a Renogy app that's newer, called "DC home" doesn't have much functionality. The app you need is older, called "Renogy BT" plus the specific "Rover" line of Renogy controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
