G,day quick question for the sparkies . got a PX 2012 Ranger with second battery fitted , charging the 2nd battery with the car through a red arc isolator SBI 12 from main battery and also has a solar panel & regulator fitted ( 200w ?) . But no DC DC type charger .
My question is , is this in any way detrimental to the car itself . 2nd part , or the battery if its getting a good charge from the solar when the car is Not running . I normally disconnect the solar when the car is running but is it necessary to disconnect in regards to damaging the vehicle that.
Also with this setup is it possible that for any reason for the second battery to appear not to accept charge from the solar panel at times or would this be a connection problem .
Cheers
Cheers Nick
