[QUOTE="condor22, post: 651607, member: 1932"] The cable I ran to connect external panels has one Anderson plug under the van, so made a couple of patch leads.[ATTACH type="full"]3931[/ATTACH] Just got back from testing them with the results of each. There's a bit of sun out today and in both series and parallel, the panels showed 14.7 amps going in to the batteries. That reading is what the BMS PM300 was showing as input and close to the rated max of 8.33 amps each. Again for this time of year a good result. With my average 40-50 AH daily use, around 4 hours at that input will fill the batteries. Should note the on roof 160W panel was not switched on, so in parallel, I could increase that output a few more amps. At the very worst, the extra panels will extend the time between needing to run the Honda. :) [/QUOTE]
