![]() ![]() An additional benefit to the inverter/charger over a standard inverter is that the inverter/charger has an A/C terminal block that you can run wiring to multiple A/C receptacles like you would in a house. And if I do that I would have to upgrade from a regular inverter to an inverter/charger which is a good bit more expensive. How often do any of you who have it, actually use it? The reason its more of a concern for me is because if I do run the shower power, at that point it make sense to set it up to also charge my battery bank. It would be nice to run my 120v a/c power devices, and/or charge my battery bank with shore power but its certainly not necessary for me. I plan on stealth camping and boondocking quite a bit, but certainly cant say I would never be in a park or friends house with power hook up. Second thing I’m debating is hooking up shore power. I know the Renogy product automatically switches between the alternator and solar, but it comes with a price tag I’d prefer not to pay and if I could essentially do the same functions manually by flipping a switch to turn the solar off and isolator/relay on, I’m fine with doing that. I’ve also seen a trick little gadget from Renogy that is an all in one dc-dc charger and Mppt solar controller. I’ve also seen the DC-DC chargers but think those are more of a benefit to people using lithium and/or smart alternators. I know there are options like a smart isolator, but i’ve still seen people running cut off switches with them. I’m wondering to make the switch between the solar panels charging the battery, to the alternator charging, do I need a cut off switch (or rather 2) that would switch the solar panels off and the isolator/relay on, or am I okay with having them both hooked up and on at the same time? I’m guessing running both might create some problems with overheating/overcharging, but not sure. I bought a generic relay that works as the battery isolator (120a) and would like to use it more as a backup supply on gloomy days when driving from point A to B. My first question is regarding running a battery isolator along with solar. I’m running 400watts of solar, 400ah battery bank with AGM batteries and Im at the point of running the rest of my power supply components and have a few questions and looking for advice from some of you all who have actually done it.
