That’s why I wanted to better understand how it’s wired. If there is no connection of the camper negative bus bar to the camper battery...

Set aside the details of the running light wiring for now. Can you describe the 12 volt negative wiring arrangement between the truck...

Well if it’s the non-isolated charger my theory above about why your running lights are behaving the way they are is not correct. Let me...

I’m curious how you have the camper anchored to the truck with it shifted that far back.

I’m guessing that you have the isolated version of the dc to dc charger and your electrical guy did not positively connect the ground of...

The problem I experience is that, when I turn on the Iota with my LiFePO4 battery at a mid battery charge level, the Iota senses the...

1) open circuit voltage is the highest voltage the panel will generate in full sun with nothing connected to it other than a volt meter...

Just another comment on batteries touching being OK: lots of residential solar setups in the past had large banks of automotive style...

Forgot to use “reply” on my first post to cause you to get a notification.

Which camper do you have? I have a Grandby slide-in. The full size campers probably go lowest because they are bigger and the same Reico...

I have 400 watts of solar panel. It definitely is overkill (at least twice what I need) in sunny conditions in the warm half of the year...

Based on what you wrote in your last paragraph, it sounds like your Iota is connected the same way mine is. Mine has its positive DC...

Agreed. My Iota DLS-30/IQ4 in my 2021 Grandby won’t effectively charge my lithium battery, but it still works great as a DC converter if...

In my 2021 Grandby the Iota 12 vdc positive is not connected directly to the battery. It is instead connected to the bus bar of the dc...
