Solar to Victron Argofet Connection
I now have a 100amp Victron Argofet to split my alternator output to engine battery and house battery bank.
I also have 300watts of solar with a Victron controller. Would it be considered appropriate to connect the output of the solar controller to the same Argofet input to split charge the batteries?

Regards

Re: Solar to Victron Argofet Connection
Depends on whether your alternator can remotely sense battery voltage.

No. It should go to the battery. A mppt should not be split.
