Hi all
A brief introduction. My back ground is in automation mainly PLC’s and basic electronics for signal conditioning for analog inputs. I have recently ventured into battery management systems for off road and RV’s. This is an ancillary battery charging question.
With the advent of variable voltage alternators (Euro 5, Euro 6) in modern vehicles, my VSR systems are all but useless. I have a boost buck with an input voltage of 10V-16V and an output of 19V@15A (285W) connected to the crank battery. I want kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Can I use this power source to replace a solar panel input on a MPPT battery charger?
PS: I have been told no, but don’t under why. Any explanation would help
Regard
Harpo
