    DC to DC charger installation issue

    Hmmm I thought they were AGM - I'll look into it and see if the charging profile should be changed, thanks for pointing it out! I know it's inefficient, but I have other reasons to have the 400W inverter, it just happens that the thing I use it for most is charging/running my power hungry gaming...

    DC to DC charger installation issue

    gapper2 you're a god send! I unplugged everything, "shorted" the input by running a wire between the two input terminals, put it all back together and BOOM! POWER! Thank you so much for the advice =D Possibly coincidence and putting everything back together and re-tightening everything was all...

    DC to DC charger installation issue

    The 12.5% is another optional input signal which I did not connect. I double-checked to make sure the input went to D+ not "LC" - you can barely see it in the photo - the green wire. I think the "blue light" is actually the green light. With the engine running, input is 14.2, output is 11.3...

    DC to DC charger installation issue

    Thanks for the replies - Engine battery voltage is 12.94 idle, 14.20 running. Ignition relay is connected, getting 13.8 volts. The charger is on, it has power. Perhaps it's an issue with the DIP switches... From what I read, the batteries warrant all switches being in the ON position...

    DC to DC charger installation issue

    Ok... So it seems as though the charger isn't actually charging my batteries. Wires are secure, D+ is connected to the ACC fuse via fuse tap. Green and red light are on on the charger (I think red means low voltage?). Something is up... Getting 14.1V on input and output shows 11.3, been running...

    DC to DC charger installation issue

    I have a 20a Renogy DC to DC charger connected to two 12v 35aH AGM batteries which connect to a 400W inverter set up in my 16 Honda Pilot. I mostly use it to charge my laptop. Last night, while the car was running I noticed my laptop battery died while plugged in. I checked the house battery...
