[QUOTE="condor22, post: 122670, member: 1932"] Redfin I've had a look at the page and the PDF spec sheet. Nowhere does it state what the charging algorithm is. You also haven't stated what kind of Aux 2nd battery you have. The parameters required are; Most panels up to 110W will produce about 6-7 amps max, my concertina panel is fitted with this regulator; [url]http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MP3721&form=CAT2&SUBCATID=1004#12[/url] It is water resistant, but more important it has a configuration wire, so that the correct charging can be applied to different batteries. i.i. AGM, wet cell or Gel. So point one, The regulator needs to be capable of handling the max Amps of the panel array and point 2 it needs to be suitable for the battery type. I have my panel on the van for a test today, I'm pulling more amps than the panel is producing and have a monitor on it to measure AH. I didn't get it up and running till 12 noon, so not a full day. But I'll leave it on until dusk and post the results tonight. [/QUOTE]
