What size wire do you have running from the vehicle battery to the charger and what's the approximate circuit length?
If your input wire is too small, you'll have excessive voltage drop and won't be able to pass the rated current through the charger.
That's why I have a 1/0 circuit ran from my...
Made a few more mods.
Replaced our two 100ah Battle Born batteries with two 300ah FSK-300HP's.
Also added a Victron Cerbo GX, a GX Touch 70 remote display and a couple Ruuvi Tag Pro's to monitor outdoor and refrigerator temps.

Ran 1/0 from the truck battery to a set of power posts about 3’ from the charger in the trailer, then 4 AWG to the charger (which is the largest size wire it will accept).
It’s pretty impressive how much more compact and...
Decided to up my fire extinguisher game a little.
Fabricated a bracket out of some scrap material for mounting a 2.5 lb Amerex under the driver's seat and mounted a second in the bed on the Built Right panel. The mount allows for full seat adjustment and is under enough that my feet don't hit...
Since the tailgate and tail lights are a prime target for thieves (two replacement OEM tail lights are approximately $3,500), I decide to mess around in the shop today and do a few things today to hopefully at least piss a thief off and make them work a little extra........
Made a guard out of...
Finally undid a mod that has been bothering me since the day I did it originally......
I wanted additional lights up front, so I purchased a KD Fabworks light pod mounting kit for the front which allowed me to install Diode Dynamics SSC3 Pro and SSC2 Pro LED pods below the factory LED fog...
