The Redarc also has an MPPT controller. I'm planning to add 600 watts of solar. I upgraded to LiFePo to charge the big batteries on our E-mtbs. Between the driving and solar I think we'll be fine.
I am going to add a second dedicated alternator and plan to have three of the 50 amp Redarc, two on the truck for two 280ah LifeP04 and one in the truck camper to charge one 280ah LifeP04. I talked to Redarc and they said you could parallel up to four.
why would use 2 280ah for the truck portion?
