Hi Guys,
3 questions. I have the van outside and it has 2 solar panels on top of van so it keeps the batteries charged 100% all the time. One of the panels (140w) is connected to the Setec Unit that came with the van and the other (200w) is connected to a Ctec D250S charger. One solar panel is connected to one battery and one to the other. Both batteries are connected to each other using a large battery cable to make 200ah. The two batteries are 100ah but are different manufactures (done by the previous owner). Both batteries are tired and now don't last very long off the grid (as I found out on the weekend)
So my questions are:
- I looking at getting 2 x Giant Power 130ah AGM Batteries (260ah it total) Any reviews on Giant Power 130ah?
- Should I just put the two solar panels through the Ctek D250s
- Once the batteries are fully charged should I install a battery isolator so nothing is running in the van (including the solar)
What does everyone think?
