Compatible chargers

These chargers are here because the published figures line up, not because anyone has said they go together — that is our reading of two documents that never mention each other, not a claim by either maker and not a test by us. Even where every figure agrees, these are not established:

Which charge profile the charger is actually set to — several publish four or more, and only one of them is this pack’s chemistry
What it holds the pack at once bulk charging ends, which is a different figure from the one it boosts to, and which some profiles do not apply at all
The charge current the pack will accept, against what the charger delivers into it
Whether the charger can restart a pack its own BMS has already disconnected
The wiring in between — where a converter feeds a distribution panel, the pack is one load on a circuit rather than a device on the end of a lead

Worth confirming with the charger's manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

DCC50S 12V 50A DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPTSKU DCC50S12V output50AFigures comparedView charger: DCC50S 12V 50A DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT →
TWO TENTHS OF A VOLT SHORT, AND BOTH FIGURES ARE RENOGY'S. This pack's datasheet gives a charge voltage of 14.6 V. The DCC50S's Li (LFP) profile boosts to 14.4 V. The pack charges — 14.4 V is well inside its 10.8 V to 14.6 V window and it is the right chemistry profile — but it is not held at the figure its own maker prints for it, and the two products come from the same company. Neither number is preferred here and neither is adjusted. The charger's user-defined profile can be set anywhere from 9.0 V to 17.0 V, which is the route to 14.6 V if a reader wants it; Renogy warn that an incorrect parameter setting voids the warranty. The lithium profile also applies no float stage and no boost timer, so the pack is not held at any voltage once charging ends.

Devices documented to run on this

The figures below line up. Neither manufacturer states that this pack runs this device — that is our reading of what each of them published separately, not a claim by either of them or a test by us. Even where every stated figure agrees, these can still decide it:

The device’s published draw is usually a peak, not the load it holds — the two numbers are not the same kind of quantity
A maker’s amp-hour minimum and their reserve-capacity minimum can give different answers about the same battery
Conditions attached to the chemistry, such as a speed limit for running on lithium
Whether the pack may be wired in series at all, where the device needs 24 or 36 volts
The charger, which both makers put conditions on and neither supplies
Case size, hold-down and terminal type — fitting the space is not being secured in it

Worth confirming with the device's manufacturer or a dealer before buying.

Three of these, identical to each other, wired in series for 36 V.

Only at 36 volts, and on published figures — neither maker has named the other and nobody has tested this pairing — check yours before buying.

The motor's maker asks for 100 Ah minimum for a lead-acid or AGM battery, and 50 Ah to 100 Ah where the battery is lithium, and the battery must be able to supply 60 A of continuous current. This pack is rated 100 Ah and 150 A continuous. The pack's maker permits the series wiring this needs: "Series & Parallel (4S4P)".

The motor's maker asks for 100 Ah minimum for a lead-acid or AGM battery, and 50 Ah to 100 Ah where the battery is lithium, and a 40 A continuous draw, which the circuit breaker is specified against. This pack is rated 100 Ah and 150 A continuous. The pack's maker permits the series wiring this needs: "Series & Parallel (4S4P)".

Two of these, wired in series for 24 V.
Renogy permit 4S4P, so two in series is inside their limit. 25.6 V and 100 Ah at the bottom of Minn Kota's band, and 150 A continuous per pack against a 56 A draw — the largest current margin of the 12 V pairs here. Minn Kota's installation manual states their motors are designed for lead acid, that lithium holds a higher voltage for longer, and that running above 85% speed for a prolonged period could cause permanent damage to the motor.

Renogy rate this pack at 150 A continuous — their datasheet reads "150A" — against the PD1610's published max current at max load of 100 A, leaving 50 A in hand at the inverter's full 1000 W. Neither company names the other and nobody has tested the pairing. Compared on continuous figures only: nothing here is about surge.

Devices whose figures this pack does not meet

Neither maker names the other. These devices publish a draw this pack’s own maker does not rate it to deliver continuously. That is a comparison of two documents and not a manufacturer’s refusal — check both against your own equipment before deciding anything.

Neither company names the other, and this is a comparison of two documents rather than anybody's refusal.

Compared on continuous figures only: nothing here is about surge.

Minn Kota ask for “at least a 105 amp-hour rating”, in a paragraph about lead-acid: “The motor will operate with any lead acid, deep cycle marine 12-volt battery/batteries.

For best results, use a deep cycle, marine battery with at least a 105 amp-hour rating.” This pack is LiFePO4.

This pack is rated 100 Ah and 150 A continuous.

Renogy rate this pack at 150 A continuous — their datasheet reads "150A" — and the PD1620 draws up to 200 A at full load by Progressive Dynamics' own figure. The pack is not rated to deliver that continuously, short by 50 A.

Renogy rate this pack at 150 A continuous — their datasheet reads "150A" — and the PD1618 draws up to 180 A at full load by Progressive Dynamics' own figure. The pack is not rated to deliver that continuously, short by 30 A.

For a lithium pack the same maker's thrust-to-capacity table names a different figure for this motor: “112 lb Lithium 125–150Ah 1.5–2.5 hours Heavy-duty” Those are two of Minn Kota's own numbers for two different chemistries, and an amp-hour rating does not carry from one to the other, so they are set out here rather than compared. The pack's maker permits the series wiring this needs: "Series & Parallel (4S4P)".
