For all you solar and electrical engineers out there.
I have a IceCo JP50 fridge in my Hawk Shell that I run off a Bluetti EB70s. I still have the original (now 2 yrs) AGM 79 AH battery for lights etc, which will get replaced with lithium when it fully dies. I have 200 watts of solar on the roof for charging. I can charge the Bluetti via the 12v outlet but it takes FOREVER. The Bluetti did come with connectors to plug into a solar panel and has its own Mppt
So here is my question, can I tie the connectors into the wires coming into my Victron Mppt from the panel on the roof? I would only plug it in when the Bluetti needed charging and when solar allows and the house battery was full. Would this freak out the controller or would it just think it wasn’t getting as much juice. Do y’all see any other problems or issues?
Thanks!
