I am looking to expand my use of the Charger 2 by adding a 12v LiFePO4 to my current setup that is using a ac200max. The 12v LiFePO4 mainly is to power a 12v rooftop aircon.
A few ?s:
- Can the Charger 2 charge the ac200max while also using shore power and its AC charger?
- Can the Charger 2 charge the 12v LiFePO4 while also using shore power and its AC charger?
- If not, do I need a disconnect for the 12v LiFePO4 while charging from the Charger 2?
- Am I correct that the CHG port to 12v LiFePO4 will be slow charging with a max of 288w?
- Can the ac200max be assigned to ‘reverse charge’ ie charge the 12v LiFePO4?
- Keeping in mind conversion loss, while not on shore power, can I get faster charging by plugging the 12v LiFePO4 AC charger into the ac200max while using alternator charging?
My use cases are:
- Use solar while parked to top off both the ac200max and the 12v LiFePO4
- Alternator charging and some solar to charge / top off both the ac200max and the 12v LiFePO4
- Use shore power to charge the 12v LiFePO4 for running the aircon while boondocking
- In a pinch, use alternator idling charging to top both the ac200max and the 12v LiFePO4.
