Hi,
I just installed and set up the Charger 2 + DC Hub on my camper van.
The Charger 2 is connected to the van’s battery, my PV (4x Ecoflow 100w in series), DC Hub, and my AC200L
After setting everything up, everything looks good. I can see all the components in the app, all devices can see each other. Great!
I also have a D40 DC-DC charger that I was hoping to replace with the DC Hub (30A max vs 50A max and a single cable to the AC200L for all the DC stuff.
Then I decided to test the reverse charging. I enable trickle charging, and the DC Hub turns off. Ok, not ideal, but it’s not the end of the world. The problem is that once the van battery was topped of, the reverse charging didn’t just stop, it switched to disabled. I switched the ignition to accessor, turned on a few things to discharge the van battery below 12.6V (that’s what the app says that will trigger the trickle charging), and nothing. Even though the battery was well below 12.6V, the Reverse Charging stayed off.
I tried this multiple times, turn RC on, top up the battery, RC switches itself to disabled, discharge the van battery below 12.6V, nothing. It never switched back to reverse charging.
On top of that, the DC Hub never turned the output back on, even though I had the “System Switch Recovery” option enabled in both, the Charger 2 and the DC Hub.
The DC Hub being turned off when reverse charging is enabled, is annoying, but I can keep the D40 for critical stuff (i.e., router, fridge, etc.), But having to manually turn it on every time is a major pain.
And the reverse charging disabling itself, especially when I wanted it to trickle charge the battery when I’m not using the van, that kind of defeats the whole point of having that feature. Imaging having to remember each day to re-enable to prevent the van battery getting discharged.
Anyone else having any of these issues?
