Cable sizing for this example

Use the diagram as a starting point for your installation. Replace the example equipment and cable lengths with your own, and check the connections against your exact model's instructions.

3 m one way

12 V system

Wire
4 mm² · 11 AWG
Example fuse
15 A
Design current
10 A
Voltage drop
2.2%

Sized against ABYC E-11. The design current is the unit's rated output. The length is one way; voltage drop includes an equal-length return.

Run-length and manufacturer assumptions

The editable example uses 3.048 m (10 ft) runs unless a shorter run is stated. Metric overviews round these to 3 m. Adapt the parts and lengths to your installation before choosing cable and protection.

Supporting parts

  1. 6.1 m total of 4 mm² (11 AWG) marine cable
  2. Terminations for 4 mm² cable, matched to the equipment's screw terminals, leads or studs
  3. 15 A fuse and holder on the positive run
  4. Heat-shrink, strain relief and terminal boots sized to the cable

Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.

Which Voyager is covered?

These notes cover the new-edition RCC10VOYP / VOYP10, the waterproof 10 A PWM controller shown in Renogy’s 10/20 A Version 1.0 manual. It supports 12/24 V batteries and lists 130 W at 12 V / 260 W at 24 V. An earlier Voyager with different controls requires its own manual.

PV voltage depends on battery-system voltage: the specification table gives 25 V maximum Voc for a 12 V bank, and 55 V for a 24 V bank. Crimp’s single PV ceiling field cannot express the bank-dependent rating. Apply the 25 V ceiling when planning a 12 V system, including the panel’s cold-weather voltage rise.

How do the terminals and grounding work?

The four power connections map to PV + / PV − and BATT + / BATT −. The separate temperature-sensor connector is omitted. There is no LOAD output or monitoring-bus connector in the reviewed diagram.

The mechanical table identifies positive grounding. Do not assume the solar negative and battery negative can be bonded together as on a common-negative controller. Keep the PV circuit connected through its labeled controller terminals, and check the grounding arrangement of the complete installation before combining this controller with a negative-ground vehicle or boat system.

Connect the battery first, then the solar panel. The back-view wiring diagram reverses the apparent left/right order relative to a front view, so follow terminal symbols rather than copying a visual orientation.

What cable and protection information is given?

The wiring example specifies a 10 A battery fuse for the 10 A Voyager. Its solar fuse is an example tied to the illustrated array; choose actual PV protection from the panel and string ratings. Terminals accept 20–6 AWG conductors. The generic distance table is not a substitute for checking ampacity and voltage drop at 10 A, and the manual gives no numeric tightening torque.

Although the enclosure is rated IP67, the installation instructions still call for a vertical, ventilated position protected from direct sunlight, heat and water, with 150 mm above and below. The rating does not protect unfinished cable connections or authorize a sealed flooded-battery compartment.

What must be set before charging lithium?

Select Li with the battery-type button, then manually choose 12 V or 24 V and the appropriate boost voltage. The manual lists 14.2 V as the 12 V lithium default, adjustable in 0.2 V steps, with no lithium float or equalization. In 24 V Li mode, the screen still shows charging-voltage settings as 12 V values; the actual voltage is twice the displayed value. Temperature compensation excludes lithium. Verify the battery/BMS charging limits and temperature permission separately; waterproof construction does not establish low-temperature charging protection.

The catalog uses 25 V as a conservative PV ceiling because its single voltage-limit field cannot represent the bank-dependent rating. The manual permits 55 V only with a confirmed 24 V battery bank; a higher-voltage design needs that model-specific review.

Fit check

Connect it to the rest of your system.

Describe your setup to draft a system with Voyager 10A connected. Review the selected parts and cable lengths, then edit the diagram in Crimp.

The model only picks parts and draws the connections. Every wire size and fuse rating still comes from Crimp's own sizing, never from the model.

Sources and sizing method

Equipment specifications. Model details, ratings and terminal roles come from the catalog. Check your unit’s label and current manufacturer documentation for its exact revision.

Example sizing. Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. Results use the example current and run length shown above. Set your actual equipment, lengths and installation conditions in Crimp before choosing hardware.
