[QUOTE="bazxa, post: 296826, member: 7154"] Gday Bundyjd Condor22 is very good with electrical, its worth taking the time to understand. I run 120ah deep cycle from solar or the alternator hardwired in the car using a Ctek 250s which has worked for about 4 years, it runs a fridge. Recently the Redarc has had better reviews. My system runs 16mm sq twin core cable from the car battery to the Ctek which is in the boot area to charge the house battery. It needs to be capable of supplying 20 amps to the Ctek with minimum coltage drop. Whatever you choose, buy correctly sized cable or you degrade the entire system. Fit fuses. The 12v cig socket will charge the battery at a slow rate but not to the correct voltage for AGM, nor will it provide a maintenance charge. Your Battery will suffer. Best of luck. Barry [/QUOTE]
