“Been using the dcdc charger off my starter battery to charge my LiFeP04 secondary battery and it works great, bought a hardkorr 200w blanket to use when we're parked up for days however even at 22.6v the dcdc charger is throwing solar over VOC errorsm. After a couple minutes it settles down and works fine but when the sun goes behind clouds and back out again the spike trips the over voltage error again, can be fustrating.”
“Alternator to DC works fine however solar input cuts out immediately at 23VDC input as specified. Unfortunately, most quality, modern solar blankets put out about 24V open circuit so charger faults out rendering the solar regulator useless.”

I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.
“Had this mounted under my bonnet for approx 2 years now. I purposely held back a review until some time had passed, cause let's face it, even the cheapy junk will work temporarily, so wanted to be sure I could give an honest opinion. So far, I have not had a single issue with it. Battery is always charged and mounting it was very easy. Would highly recommend this great bit of kit!”
