I would be grateful if the members that are electrically competent have a look at my postings on this Technical Chat Thread:

"Vehicle Battery Fuse"

Thanks Richard ( Baggiecamper )

Hi Richard, may I ask why you went down this particular upgrade route? That’s 100% not a criticism by the way, just interested in the background reasons.
You say you have EHU in storage and obviously on site. Isn’t the PX300 up to your needs?
Sorry if I’m coming across a bit confused smile!

Hi Dave
The ambition is to do off grid with limited solar all year round.
So a bigger 200AHr deep cycle battery and a 30 amp B2B is what I have gone for.
I liked the reputation of Victron and that all their devices work off one Smart phone app.
I am also installing a 1500W inverter as occasional light use of the microwave would be advantageous for me.
Since I chose Victron I am beginning to think Renogy combined B2B and MPPT may have been better, although I thought 20 amp B2B may be too small and 40 amp too large.
This was supposed to be a winter project but life's not going to plan at the moment  think_smiley_46

These projects often do turn out a bit more complicated than first anticipated Richard.
Thanks for the info, good luck and I’m sure it will be a great mod when sorted.

I think the renogy  DC-DC Mppt could have possibly caused problems also as reading about them it’s not advisable to use both inputs at the same time
