OOYCYOO asked me to check out their off grid solar charge controller. This thing is a 12v / 24v powerhouse. Supplying up to 100 Amps to your battery bank with up to 1250w of solar at 12v or 2500w of solar panels for a 24v system!

Set evening four 23 and move on to int set to 23 then move on to dawn set to 23 and your charge will last a lot longer. If you set evening four 24 u can't set the other case. Let it cycle for 48 hours you will see the difference

I would of liked to see a higher PV voltage to lower the amps in the cables coming in.

@OffGridBasement Жыл бұрын

I believe the 12v - 48v system they sell allows for that, but I'm not sure. It would be nice to see the max voltage of 150 - 200. Thanks for the comment.

I sure can't find one and the manual doesn't state anything about grounding. Bummer.

I wonder if you can open the remote display and flip the LCD 180. I guess it depends how it's connected but it might be doable.

@OffGridBasement Жыл бұрын

My guess would be extensive rewiring and / or soldering. If you like doing that sort of thing it might be worth it. Thanks for the comment.

@@OffGridBasement I based the comment on tear down findings that displays in these sort of devices are often tethered only by a ribbon cable. It could also be the way you described, but you'd have to look to know.

I bought one of these in the 12/24/48 configuration and the menu seems to be exactly the same. I have a 15 cell 48 volt lifepo4 battery which is supposed to be charged at 56.6 volts. Do I just need to set the PV off voltage to 56.6 and it is ready to go

@markmcshane61 2 ай бұрын

sorry I meant 54.6 volts for charging

@OffGridBasement 2 ай бұрын

Yes. That is correct. Just set the charge voltage and make sure the float voltage is correct as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for the quick response. I guess I didn't see the float voltage option which one is that on the controller?

Do you have the charge voltage set correctly for your battery chemistry?

@josephfallas2686 2 ай бұрын

Yes it's 24v.... it was working ok keeping the battery at %100 then two days ago I heard the low voltage alarm I noticed the load off when I tried to turn it back on after I full charge the battery it wouldn't turn on

@Steve-Goff Жыл бұрын

Do you have to use the remote or can you make the same changes directly from the charge controller? The cable is only 7 feet long so I’d just as soon not even use it

@OffGridBasement Жыл бұрын

Everything can be done from the controller or the remote. You don't need to have the remote connected at all.

Did you figure out the efficiency of it?

@OffGridBasement Жыл бұрын

The website states the CC is 99% efficient, but I haven't verified that.

@Sylvan_dB Жыл бұрын

100 amps should be bigger wire than #6. Code says 2ga and that's what I'd prefer, but 4ga might be okay if the wire has high temperature insulation and same for the ends.

@OffGridBasement Жыл бұрын

You're correct. For a full 100 amps you would need a minimum of 4 awg. You can fit 2 awg, but it's a tight squeeze. Thanks for the comment.

If only the Victron controller cable terminals would allow for 4AWG cable because my panels as 100' from my charge controller. That's the only reason I didn't get those.

The argument can be so you don't put all your eggs in one basket. One thing fails and everything could go down for good. Just my thoughts. Thanks for the comment.

@hayzersolar Жыл бұрын

love your channel ok do you realize the 1250w number has nothing to do with the pv input. if you take the 12.5v charging voltage multiply by 100a then you get 1250w.the only thing from your solar input that matters is the volts. this is a dc/dc buck converter. your solar watts has nothing to do with anything at all. your controller needs are volts from the pv. hope you can see what i am trying to say if not that's fine.

@OffGridBasement Жыл бұрын

Yes. For a 12v system, the most you are going to push to the battery is 1250w. You can have 3000w worth of solar panels as long as the voltage does exceed 96v. But if you have 3k in solar panels, the most you're going to convert is 1250w to the battery.
