I actually just bought one of these myself for my RV. I noticed that they sold two different parts one with the Anderson extension cable to lugs and one without. Strangely, in my case, the one with the extension cable was cheaper so I bought it. Now I can just connect that to my bus bars and keep the Anderson connector

Thanks for the review. Do you get a yellow flashing warning light when the battery gets to full charge? I have two REGO's in my system and the warning light comes on every time it gets to %100 charge. Just wondering if that is normal.

@madetoexplore 2 ай бұрын

I don’t think that happens for me but I do get a yellow light when there isn’t enough solar power for the internal heater to turn on when the battery’s cold.

@illuzionz14 5 ай бұрын

Great video .. was wondering if anl fuse should be added between battery and bus bar for added protection? Thoughts?

@madetoexplore 5 ай бұрын

It’s completely up to you but I don’t think it’s required. Fuses are meant to protect the wire first and the electrical component second. If you have a long run of wire, it would be a good idea. The BMS should also protect the battery from over current and automatically shut down.

@illuzionz14 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback.. in your current setup are you using the 600a blue sea bus bar?

@chrisluehmann3094 4 ай бұрын

Hey, great review. I have one of these REGO 400ah batteries too. I'm curious why you're using a shunt if you have battery monitoring built into the battery itself?

@madetoexplore 4 ай бұрын

Thanks! I had the monitor installed prior to getting this new Rego battery. I also use to test out other batteries that don’t have Bluetooth.

Honestly, i would think about going 24 or 48v - That's huuuge!!

@madetoexplore 3 ай бұрын

I have but it doesn’t really make since with my build and I wouldn’t save that much battery storage space

@willamettehops 7 ай бұрын

I'd be concerned that drilling out the Anderson connectors would void the warranty. Hopefully they make something similar in 48 V for the off griders.

@madetoexplore 7 ай бұрын

Yes, it probably does. I would recommend using the Anderson transition cable. I think that was the goal for the CORE series since those are the only Renogy batteries that can be installed in series. Although they aren’t heated and they don’t have Bluetooth.

What about just swapping my 2 lead acid batteries with the regu? I have a Rockwood with 200 built in solar. I can change the charger to lithium setting. This seems like an easy swap. Would I need anything else?

@madetoexplore 4 ай бұрын

Yeah as long as your chargers are compatible with lithium it should be pretty easy!

@robmills7453 7 ай бұрын

two questions; do you still need a battery switch since this battery has a power button? And can it be mounted on it's side?

I really need your help. I bought the Rego battery and the Rego MPPT charger, 3 200 W solar panels and I am waiting for the inverter but there’s a missing part and it’s the combiner box that puts everything together, but unfortunately renogy is out of stock and the company has said that they have stopped the productions I’m currently living in the Sierra Nevada in California with record snowfall and it gets pretty cold in here, what alternatives can I use to bond it all together, I really appreciate any help. Thanks

@madetoexplore 5 ай бұрын

Wow that’s unfortunate! If the combiner box isn’t available then you’ll have to cut and crimp each wire and install a positive and negative busbar

I have read that it can be more beneficial to have 2x 200 Ah batteries than one 400 Ah battery, or 4x100 Wh batteries. Is there any truth to this?

@madetoexplore 3 ай бұрын

You can expand as you can afford more would be one benefit. Some people think more components increase the possibility of something going wrong. Some people think having more is a good because you’ll have a backup if one breaks. Personally, I like to keep things as simple as possible. I’d prefer to have this 400ah battery rather than 2 or 4 smaller ones.
