Hi gang, I have a question if anyone here can help me with.
I installed a Victron 75WV 15A MPPT solar charge controller in my SUV the other day to connect my 100W foldable solar panel to charge my Odyssey deep cycle AGM car battery that I use as the main starter and for auxiliary to power things like a fridge, and many led lights.
My question is, I purchased a ‘Renogy 12V 10W Solar Charger and Maintainer with built in MPPT Charge Controller’ hoping to keep my battery topped off when parked for a few days (no fridge or any auxiliary things running). This 10 Watt mini panel does have a MPPT charge controller built in. Would it be okay to plug this panel with the MPPT into my Victron MPPT controller? I have the Victron PV input port right in my dash for easy access, and I’d love to plug this 10W mini panel in there if possible. If not, I'd have to run new wires directly to my battery as the 12V port is not hot when car is off.
Thanks in advance.
