We recently had 2x 125 solar panels fitted to our new motorhome . They were fitted by the dealer .
We asked for two panels and the ability to trickle charge the engine battery aswell, which is the set up we had on our previous van and we were very happy with.
The previous van had an MPPT controller so I assumed the new one would aswell.
I’ve just looked at the controller which is sited under the passenger seat.
It seems it’s not MPPT and it will only charge two batteries.
It’s a Victron energy bluesolar Duo .i attach a photo .
Am I correct in thinking this will only control/charge the two leisure batteries and not trickle charge the engine battery as I requested ?
Or am I missing something and it does all three things ?
Be grateful for any expert view before I go back to the dealer and shout at them.....
Many thanks in advance .
