z Risk of explosion! Never install the battery charger in a sealed enclosure
with flooded batteries! Do not install in a confined area where battery gases
can accumulate.
z Place the battery charger on a vertical surface protected from direct
sunlight, high temperatures, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
z The battery charger requires at least 6 inches (150mm) of clearance above
and below for proper air flow. Ventilation is highly recommended if mounted in
an enclosure.
z If the Battery Adapter Cable or Solar Panel Extension Cable is not long
enough, you can use more extension cables or reselect the position where the
battery charger needs to be secured.

when tightening the battery bolts to their rated
specification. z Please ensure that the Anderson connectors are fully seated
and/or the ring terminals are
securely connected.
Battery Scenario A: REGO Battery Kit
z Please read the user manual of System Combiner Box carefully before wiring.
z If the devices are connected to the Anderson connectors of the System
Combiner Box, please install a 160A NH fuse in the top NH fuse disconnect
switch.
z If the Anderson PP75 to Ring Terminal Adapter Cable is used to connect with
the System Combiner Box, please refer to the user manual of REGO 12V 60A DC-DC

Input Wiring
The battery charger input terminal can be directly connected to the vehicle’s
starting battery or DC generator. If you want to wire directly to the DC
generator, please refer to the user manual of REGO 12V 60A DC-DC Battery
Charger at renogy.com for more detailed instructions.
z Please check the vehicle’s manual to identify the generator type before
connecting. If you cannot identify the generator type, please refer to the
user manual of battery charger at renogy.com for more detailed instructions.
z The starting voltage of the battery charger input terminal depends on the
generator type. If it is a smart generator, the starting voltage should be
greater than 12.5V; if it is a traditional generator, the starting voltage
should be greater than 13.5V.
z Identify the polarity (positive and negative) on the cables used for the
batteries. A reverse polarity contact may damage the unit.
z Select a suitable wrench or other tool when tightening the battery bolts to
their rated specification.
z Please ensure that the ring terminals are securely connected.

Mounting
z Please make sure that the battery charger is installed firmly to prevent it
from falling off. Place the battery charger against a flat surface and secure
it with included screws.
DC-DC Battery Charger
STEP-5.1
Temperature Sensor
z The temperature sensor can detect the battery’s temperature and update it to
the battery charger for charging voltage calibration. This ensures the battery
charger (with operating temperature range from -20°C to 60°C or -4°F to 140°F)
can charge the battery normally.
z Do not use the temperature sensor on a LiFePO4 (LFP) battery which comes
with a battery management system (BMS).
z Please refer to the user manual of battery charger at renogy.com for more
matters needing attention.

*Voltage Sensor (Optional)
The Battery Voltage Sensor is the perfect solution by providing an accurate
battery voltage to the battery charger and allowing it to adjust the charging
stage precisely resulting in overall extension of your battery life.
z Identify the polarity (positive and negative) on the cables used for the
batteries. A reverse polarity contact may damage the unit.
z The voltage sensor ring terminal is M8 (Approx. 5/16″). If the battery bolt
size is small, please use a gasket to fix it to prevent it from falling off.

Communication
The communication connection is optional. The communication between REGO
products allows safe operation, smart control, and close monitoring.
Depending on the installation condition, the communication connection needs to
be established with backbone or daisy chain topology.
Backbone Topology
If an RV-C bus is pre-installed in the RV, please follow the backbone topology
for the communication connection. Recommended Accessories
LP16 Plug (7-Pin) to Bare Wires Drop Cable
Drop Plug
z Different drop sockets are used on the RV-C bus by different RV
manufacturers. Please select the Drop Plug that matches the drop socket for
the communication connection. If unsure about the Drop Plug selection, please
check with the RV manufacturer. This Quick Guide takes the Mini-Clamp II plug
(4-pin) as an example.
z The length of the Drop Cable shall not exceed 19.6 feet, and the total
length shall not exceed 98.4 feet.
z Different Drop Plugs follow different pinouts. Please crimp the Drop Plug to
the Drop Cable following the correct pinout. If unsure about the Drop Plug
pinout, please check with the RV manufacturer. This Quick Guide takes the
pinout of the Mini-Clamp II plug (4-Pin) as an example.

Communication
4321
STEP-9.1
Insert the bare wires of the Drop Cable (sold separately) all the way into the
wire ports of the Drop Plug (not included) following the Drop Plug pinout. The
red PS+ wire goes to pin 1, the white CAN_H wire goes to pin 2, the blue CAN_L
wire goes to pin 3, and the black PSwire goes to pin 4.
STEP-9.2
Squeeze the crimp area of the Drop Plug with a pair of split joint pliers.
Locate the drop tap (not included) on the RV-C bus (not included) that is the
closest to the battery charger installation location. The drop taps are
usually located above the entry door, in the bathroom, or under the bed in the
RV.
STEP-9.3
Connect either of the CAN Communication Ports of the battery charger to the drop socket on the drop tap with the Drop Cable.
