The Digital Mermaid | Can I Charge LFP Off An Alternator, Cheaply? - Renogy DC-DC 40A Charger (Ep. 62) @TheDigitalMermaid | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 minutes ago.
I need to charge my LFP house bank from my alternator for the trip home, but I don't want to spend a small fortune on a Wakespeed WS500. Can I use the Renogy DCC1212-40 DC-to-DC Battery Charger?

In this video, I try to figure out how to use the charger. In a future video, we'll install it on the boat and see if it works.

Note: I bought this with my own money, it is not sponsored in any way.
