Hello everybody, Can I use victron all PWM charge controller in Paralell?
Yes, you can have several charge controllers connected in parallel to the battery.
I can not see a reason against it. What are you concerned of?
my concern is that :
1) if the two PWM doesn't give the same current, something will happen or not during charging the same battery ?
2) I want to be sure if the two regulator will manage to charge the same battery cause tension can be different. Exemple during float how the current will be limit.
Sorry for my bad english I am a friend native
Thanks
1.) both chargers will provide the maximum output they are able to provide, when the load is accordingly big enough. When there is little load drawn, it is basically like the charger providing the higher Voltage, will take the load.
2.) it is making everything a little bit more complicated having 2 chargers, and if you can avoid it, you should. You are in better control of the charging voltage with just 1 charger. But if you can't avoid it for some reason, it would work, but you have to set up both chargers with reasonable values.
I can understand you perfectly. ;o)
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
