    Too many
    Practically. When the noco is plugged in, batteries are isolated and solar is disconnected via breaker.

    Gotcha, I went ahead and tried earlier this morning. It’s 100% isolated now and not blowing fuses but now it doesn’t seem like it’s charging at all. IDK, highly frustrated with the entire project.

    Where are you going that you sit so long to need so much power?

    Two batteries and 100W of solar isn't much power. I'd go through that in a day or two running my ICECO in fridge-fridge configuration in 60 - 70 deg F temps along with Starlink for work and my laptop. That would be on a sunny day with the solar charging 2.5 - 3 Amps during daylight hours.

    Must be the Starlink, I run my fridge for a few days on an OEM battery. But I’m not sitting for longer than 3-4 days before I drive off to another place.

    I'm just running a small fridge and some LEDs for a bit at night. It's never sitting for more than a day when I'm on the trails but at home I shut the fridge off and the truck stays parked almost all week. I can't seem to get it to take a charge without the truck running. Could be the actual charger but I doubt it. It just blinks so I reached out to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUF2WxPzC7U
