I'm working on a 24V power system for my RV and need help figuring out the best charging setup for my battery when I have shore power available. I'm looking at the Victron IP22 charger, which delivers 24V at 16A. However, if my battery is low and I need to run several other appliances, I'll require more than 16A. Should I go with two IP22 chargers, or is it safe to use a 24V 15A computer power supply for the appliances while the IP22 charges the battery?

You'll want to think about how to power your 12V gear. A buck converter from your 24V system is a solid choice to get that 12V output needed for your equipment. Just make sure to check the load requirements!
If you're still in the design phase, consider an all-in-one system like the Victron Multiplus, which combines inverter and charger functionalities. It might simplify things a lot! Have you looked into other options like the Growatt 24V system? They can be pretty effective too.
Yeah, I'm still figuring things out. Trying to keep it simple and maybe go without an inverter to power everything with DC.
