HOW TO CONNECT TWO CHARGE CONTROLLERS IN PARALLEL
  1. First, connect the battery bank to two charge controllers that you want to connect in parallel for expanding charging current (both controllers can be connected to an independent PV array system).
  2. Then, link these two controllers using this RS485 parallel charge connection cable.
  3. Both controllers must be set the same and right battery bank system voltage parameter.

Note:

  • It supports connecting two controllers with different amperage parameters, such as 20A + 40A, 20A+ 60A, or 40A + 60A.
  • Please remember to set the controllers with the same battery charge voltage parameter before connecting the PV arrays to the controllers. Or you will damage the battery bank system.
  • When using parallel charge connection cable, two controllers only can be connected to ONE battery bank system.
