I?m upgrading a battery in my camper van from a 75ahr flooded battery to a 84ahr AGM which was gifted to me. Here is the configuration it will be going into;
Progressive Dynamics PD4645 converter/charger (upgraded from original Magnatek 6300?).
Renogy 100w panels x2 w/ Rover 20amp MPPT controller
Charging also via auto alternator
AGM 84ahr battery
I can customize the solar panel controller to use any voltage between 9-17v for the various charge cycles (see chart attached).
Can anyone provide an further details or suggestions on how I should program the Rover MPPT controller to work well with the PD4656 and vehicle alternator charging? Should I match the parameters to the PD4645? Change the PD4656? Use one or the other? Not sure what is the best route to take on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, my understanding is that with flooded cells, you should not use more than 50% of its capacity for long life. With AGM, the word seems to be not more than 80%. Is this correct?
First attachment is the Renogy Rover 20amp MTTP solar controller
Second and third are from the BestConverters.com website for the PD4645 converter/charger
