We have purchased and are waiting for delivery once they get them back in stock. Thanks for your testing and info, we decided on this instead of big bucks for brand name

They work pretty good only complaint is when you’re pumping in solar ( 440w 38v folding Springers panel which produces 470w’s at times ) the unit cuts out when using the 240 sockets whatever you’re drawing when it hits full from solar ! You have to pull out solar turn back on unit and draw down the power and then reconnect the solar to charge again , If unit doesn’t hit full from solar it will happily keep charging and powering shit lol 😂 Just saying other than that the units are fantastic.we use 2400w kettle , toaster, air fryer , electric pans and charge anything else you can think of high use items singular and all else multiples

Thanks for the videos!!!

Nice to hear you wife's honest review

Well... I literally just got home set mine up and its so bad, thanks for making the video so I know it's nothing I'm doing. I'll be requesting a refund. Down right embarrassing at this price point

But does it come even close to the 160watts or more like 70-80watts because I have a Kings 250watt portable and I don’t even get close to 250watts I only get maybe 130-150 maximum and takes forever to charge batteries. Dual 100Ah Lithiums and with 6 hours in the sun it made maybe 21% charge to the battery from 66% to 87% charged

Thank you. Now I want your opinion and what do you recommend. Should I buy( bushwakka 270 or darche 270 )

Just wondering on the super cheap auto it says it a Renogy Rover Li 20A MMPT 4 Stage Solar Charge Controller What’s the MMPT for is it different to a MPPT or am I looking at the wrong one on the website

Thats not rust on copper pipe its corrosion . If the solder flux residues aren't removed, it will cause corrosion. flux residues are acidic and if they aren't cleaned properly, the residues will lead to the corrosion from moisture in the air. Clean off corrosion with water and repaint or silicon spray for protection

Great video! I've got a 2012 turbo Sedition Foz with the auto trans and a little lift - it LOVES SAND 😅

Merry Christmas 🎉

Wouldn’t the sag have a lot to do with where the mounting location is on the car? Are the mounting locations closer to the ends on the wagon?

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year🎄

always love how the misso reacts. not sure how she puts up with you mate lol merry xmas and see ya next year

Ive had 1 of my engel fridges shit a thermostat. Its happens. Ive been running the crx80 in my canopy for 7 years been around aus up cape gibb etc. Never a drama. I do like the new layout in these but

Wish I saw this earlier, received mine and hooked it up yesterday. Unfortunately I have the same issue and am in extremely rural NSW where returning is going to be an absolute nightmare.

Hi! Thanks for your video. I'd love to go snorkelling at Gold Coast. Any chance you could be a bit more detailed about where abouts you were at the Gold Coast Seaway in this video? I am a beginner too so want to start in some calm waters with no dangerous current. Thanks!

Awesome. Have an old MDC-90 and it is horrible. Super power hungry and does not cool in hot weather. Going to exchange it eith the NRX Model

My dream tent.

Thanks

Does it have a low temp charging disconnect? It was getting down to 3 degrees, you said. There's plenty of places that get sub 0 weather in Australia. I can't seem to find anything on the net about it.

EAsun,Anern,POWMR and many others offer the same chinese device for ~24$ so renogy want 140$ for it....a shame this sort of scam. the devices pretty good but for the right prize.

Another review for a supercheap product

They work well. I've had one for a while and am very happy with its performance. I have the temp sensor and the remote blue tooth reader which is an absolute time saver. I use it with a 250 watt solar blanket and consistently make 10 amps which covers my set up easily. Good product, make sure you get the blue tooth remote reader.

80%...Mtae..stop posting bullshit trying to be a youtube hero...

@Renogysolar has some pretty decent gear! We’ve been running their 60amp DCDC charger in the back of the Fourby for about a year now and it’s been so good 👌🏽

VOC for solar?

How long did you run the A/C on the R2500.

Mate, to do a honest review you should really hook the unit up as it's being sold, which is a DC to DC with MPPT controller, this way you can evaluate how it does or does not handle the dual connection, if it doesn't do what you think the marketing information is saying it does then you can report this to your viewers as a negative. IMO there is no point doing a review on a dual input unit if you are hooking up a separate mppt because this is not how the unit is being marketed, you will get a different end result, then you may recommend the unit and it won't work the way you mentioned because you had a separate MPPT to handle the solar input. Also check the temperature of the cabling, my ones got very hot because Renogy always supply bare minimum rated cables on all their product, curious if they have upgraded them (my units are 6 months old) , because they hard wire the connections you cannot upgrade it, like any electrical wiring, as the wires heat up their efficiency drops. Example of typical Renogy cable underspec: I installed a Renogy 3000W inverter (actually very good inverter for the price) they supply two x 100A rated positive and two x 100A negative cables, problem is if you pull 3000W the current is actually 250A !!, yet they only supply 200A of cable. I tested these cables, and even at only 200A load the supplied cables get very hot to touch, so would have most likely melted at 250A, they were the cheap PVC coated Aluminium wires and not the better quality Silicon Aluminium or better still copper wires, if the wires get too hot it just melts the PVC, ie: PVC melting point 100C to 260C, Silicon 537C to 1414C so a big difference. Renogy should have supplied three negative and three positive cables, needless to say I ditched the supplied cables and put some suitably sized Silicon cables that don't even get warm at 3000W,. I'm not trying to bash on Renogy, they do make some nice products, but they also make some products not fit for purpose, or skimp on important parts like cable sizes, I can recommend the 40A DC to DC with the additional bluetooth, as it just works, (would be good if the had a 60A version), then put on a separate mppt and it will do exactly what you need it to do at a good price.

Mate be very careful where you install this unit because it runs Effing HOT, after about 30 minutes of charging you cannot touch the outside casing because it's too bloody hot, I measured it's temp and it was running at 78C, too damn hot IMO not only will this shorten the life of the charger it's dangerous if something touches this unit that's sensitive to high temps,. Also the 50A will only last for about 5 minutes then it will max out at 38A to 40A, you won't see 50A again until it's completely cold, I have even tried force cooling it and it made no difference, it's s con, it's can only reliably deliver 40A not 50A if you really want to use Renogy DC, ditch this one and get the 40A SKU: RBC40D1U-AU for $189 and add the bluetooth dongle to it, it does everything this one will do except MPPT then get a proper MPPT by Victron, you can get these from $90 for 100V/20A to $199 for 100V/50A Victron MPPT crap on this Renogy unit plus it's cheaper. I have ditched these Renogy units for the Victron stuff now in my own mobile applications, the MPPT circuit in this one is poorly designed, by having separate DC and MPPT you can feed both to the battery at the same time increasing your charging capacity, the ONLY thing this unit has going for it is it can work on a 12V or 24V system, other than that it's a floored design, they went for compactness and sacrificed cooling / efficiency. You will see what I mean after you install it, If you try to charge a fairly depleted 200A or in your case a 400A setup, pack some eggs because you can literally cook them on top of the unit, I'm not joking, if you can demonstrate this in your review video of it would be funny, it needs to be in use for about 30 minutes.

Ha ha, spending your hard on 😂 classic, cheers 🍻 mate thanks for the review 👍 great work 🤙

Thanks mate.

Have you visited their assembly area just at the back of their store? It’s worth to visit. By the way, I know they use Ganfeng lithium Grade A cells. Ganfeng has contracts with VW, BMW, LG chemicals and TESLA. Just amongst all other big companies that use lithium batteries of all types. I have used the same 12V 200AH BWB LiFePO4 battery and cooked rice about 4 times during our camping and didn’t run out of power. They do offer lifetime service even if it has expired the 5 years warranty. I have done my due diligence researching for other brands in the market and this is by far the most affordable, not overpriced or course, and very powerful and reliable! A must try product, I must say. ❤

Commenting for the algorithm 🫶🏻

We purchased this cooker a few weeks ago. Took it away last weekend. I also did the hack to get the lower flame. It does burn very hot. Probably too hot. I took two canisters of propane away with us. Went through one in 2 days. I think I will purchase a 1.25 or 2 kilo gas bottle. Take that away and a spare propane just in case.. Nice review by the way

3:11 it's a shame you couldn't test that specification. 🤔🤫🫣🤐

Like watching your KZbin videos can after channel because we have a had a house we just tried to catching up talk back channel

1:42 that's not correct. It means you will get 5000 cycles if you only use 80%. If you use 100% every cycle the cycle life will be lower.

I won't be buying any more Renogy batteries my 200A $1100 premium Smart Lithium is a POS, it's been problematic since new, 2 cells always unbalanced (according to it's own interface) now it won't accept bulk charge from the MPPT switching to float at 70% charge, I contacted them and got the run-around, I have had a various products replaced but it was a painful process, to their credit they did replace them, but just painful, their DC to DC chargers are great, I ended up switching to Li-Time and Victron and couldn't be happier, everything is working exactly as it should be, at $349 you can get the Li-Time for that price when they have a sale which seems to be every week.

We have some @RenogySolar gear in the y62 and love it! 🤙🏽Was thinking of getting some to test in the van as we've found some other top brand not cutting the mustard!

It certainly is a budget battery, I guess only time will tell how good or bad it is.

Renogy warrenty is not worth the paper used in the toilet, if the warrenty is covered and dealt with by super cheap, then maybe it may be worth considering. But I will never buy another Renogy product while my bum faces the ground.

Being able to buy from Super cheap is a big plus! Though renogy is good gear, Dealing with them is difficult if something goes wrong. Also you don't need blu tooth in the battery if you have a shunt with blutooth which is a better way of monitoring in's and outs anyway.

This seems to be a buy-it-for-life product, which is great. Enough cycles to last for years and years, and then it's fully serviceable and not a bunch of waste. Seems like a fantastic concept. I wish the company success, I like their build philosophy.

Nothing sh..s me more than those stupid requests. I bought an overhaul kit for a honda generator and it was missing parts. When I contacted the seller they wanted a photo of, you guessed it, the missing parts.

just watched your review on allpower inverter as well thanks for advice

Interested to see how it goes. We have Renogy in our van

do you still rate the big wie batterys

Interesting review. I have a generation one which is not free standing and can’t fault it. It’s now over six years old and has had zero issues except for the twist lock poles. Over time they tend to lose grip and will need some maintenance. Darche should have done a recall when the issue was first found and then this video wouldn’t have been needed.

Am running a pair of these, agree with your findings, decent units I reckon! Runs 3k inverter and the rest of gear flawless so far
