      Thank you. I have done videos since this one but I didn't actually show moving it because my grandmother got really sick and I had to leave the next day. To answer your question I turned everything off and disconnected & removed the batteries before I carried it in. It actually wasn't too heavy just more awkward than anything

      Thank you. I'm assuming you are talking about the DC to DC. This first setup was a test run . I was going to use it to have a backup source of power coming in from my alternator but I ended up bypassing it for now

    My experience is a bad one. I spent over $400 for 2 batteries on Amazon to replace the ones in my camper. I called Renogy and got their opinion first. I then call WCO who makes the WCO 6800 series for my camper and gave me the ok, then I called Cruiser RV and they said it should be fine. When I went to the dealer the tech said no way. They can overheat when plugged up to shore power and you can't turn off the batter disconnect or nothing will work in the camper. I tried to return them to Amazon, unopened. They will not take batteries back.. They refused to take them back They refused to refund the money and they told me to sell them myself. I called Renogy and they basically told me TOO BAD. I wish I had read the Better Business Bureau reviews before I bought them. Do not do business with RENOGY..................................Bad Company......This based on the truth and experience ! The tech department LIED to be or I would have never bought these batteries.

      I am so sorry to hear about that. I totally understand and believe you though. I had issues with Renogy just a week or so after hooking this up. The customer service is crap and not helpful. It was winter when I had issues with my Mppt and I told them about me living full time in the bus. They kept telling me I needed to mail it in, that it would be about 2 weeks. I said I can't because it's winter 🥶 and I need power. Several emails and phone calls later....no solution except that I am going to replace my Renogy products when I have the money.
