solar charging the vehicle battery

Post by The Burchies on Mon 18 Mar 2013 - 12:15

My solar panel only charges the leisure batteries but not the vehicle one, my question is can I link the vehicle battery up directly to include it into the bank hence charging all of them together?.

If you don't want to spend too much money you could do this
It's a quick solution and it works - I've been using it for years.
Thanks go to Clive Mott Smile

study
Been looking on various help pages to find out how to change the colour of a link in a post, so you (and others) can make the link more identifiable ...

Can't find it, so maybe Ken can help (or anyone else) scratch

All you do is highlight the word(s) you want to highlight then change the format like make it bold or colour it like this , make bold use the B, or the coloured box between the 2 AA-A to change the colour.
