[QUOTE="blisters, post: 302828, member: 4992"] Occasional_panner the 1225D doesn't require the expense and hassle of an external relay to switch between panel/alternator and will charge using both at the same time. It will also charge lithium. The victron with panels will be fine to top off the battery without the engine running, but as with the standard 1225 use a relay off the ignition to isolate the panels when driving and the charging system when not. The alternator will charge it to a level e.g. 80% and the solar is fine to continue. The redarc is more expensive and is the simplest option and over the victron, gives you the added capability of charging to 100% while driving and isolates your batteries. Jon [/QUOTE]
