Nice setup man.

Thanks. It's very small, by most standards, but will give me basic power in an emergency. Today, I programmed a user setting for the LiFePO4 bank. People were telling me that the Renogy controller lithium preset was too aggressive. I also added two more breakers to that rail on the wall (one between each battery bank and the charge controller).

That is the fun part slowly building things up but having something useful right away. Keeping the prices down keeps it something manageable and fun. I am adding some of those breakers that Sean mentioned in a video too.

Does the Renogy have user programmable settings to adjust the max voltage down?

The Rover controller can be programmed using the older Renogy BT app with these parameters:
High V Disconnect
Charge Limit V
Equalize Charge V
Boost
Float
Boost Charge Return
Over Charge Disconnect Return
Low V Alarm
Over-Discharge V
Discharge Limit V
Over-Discharge Disconnect Delay
Equalize Charge Time
Equalize Charge Interval
Temperature Compensation

Nice that is handy, I don't have any experience with that one. Good to know Renogy is pretty popular, I try to help out RV folks in my area so if I run into someone that has Renogy good to know that there is a PC app to edit things. Epever has a similar app if you run into one of those.

It's little tricky, because a Renogy app that's newer, called "DC home" doesn't have much functionality. The app you need is older, called "Renogy BT" plus the specific "Rover" line of Renogy controllers.
