I am installing a Renogy 60A DC-DC charger in my system. There is not good information in the manual on the purpose of the "charge limiting" connection which apparently reduces the maximum capacity by 50%. In surveying some of the DIY youtube contributions, I gather that a lithium battery's capacity can overwhelm the vehicle alternator, especially at low rpms.
I am considering installing the charge limiting connection with a toggle on the dashboard so that the default is 50% of the charger capacity, i.e. 30A. When driving at highway speed, if I need to do a lot of charging I could toggle the charge limiting connection to allow the full 60A.
Anyone have any experience with this charger? Any insights on how to handle the charge limiting connection.
