dual battery/solar panel wiring query?

G'day mate, There will be absolutely no problem with the system you are talking about.The only thing to make sure of is that you have a regulator between your panel and the batteries, other than that go ahead. I have been selling & dealing with these types of systems for the past 12 years, just to put your mind at ease.

Cheers.

Hi long4513,

As long as you have two sets of cables running to the battery, no problems.
I.e. one set from the vehicle and the other from the panel via the solar regulator.
Mine is set up that way.

Hi long4513

No problem to do this but please feel free to email be directly as I would like to know how you will link the 2nd battery to the FLYER pack and where it is mounted etc.

It is a perfect and foolproof system providing you follow the simple rules and gudelines remembering that each charging system is independent of the other...........

ABR controller manages the alternator charging system...

Solar regulator manages that charge input.

Subject to your solar controller type and level of "intelligence" (by that I mean the solar controllers intelligence not yours) !) you may need to run the alternator charge through a shunt

I have run that set up for years

Derek's reply to you is worth following up as he has good knowledge and is always helpful and spot on with his advice....I use his system for the dual battery / isolater set up

hey lads thanks for your reply's helped me out heaps

cheers long4513
