If you are intending to charge a 12V battery, then yes, that will work.

Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum PV short circuit current which is 35A for this model. If your power supply is less that 35A, then you'll probably be fine.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I want to charge my Lifepo4 in my caravan either with PV 38V 360W or with my 12/24 DC DC converter with 400W output or with my AC DC 230V/35V 400W output power supply.

Is this possible?

At charging end the victron will cut off input?

Or will it short the input, like some charge controller do?

It will short the PV input as some charge controllers do.

So its not possible to use the input with a power supply instead of PV modules to prevent the power supply or the the victron from becoming destroyed?
