[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 144924, member: 4430"] Thanks Condor. My smaller portable Solar panel system comes with a "built in" regulator and I must admit that I haven't bothered to see what type it is. It is used to charge a normal lead acid battery as the second battery in the 4WD. The van though does have a smart regulator (but not MPPT) to manage the 240W solar from the roof. I actually have one "built in" Ctek in the van (temp compensated) to do the 240v charging, but also carry a another Ctek to use for things such as vehicle battery charging (if need be) as the built in unit can't really be used for that purpose. I also have several other chargers with different capabilities for workshop use at home, none Ctek, but cheaper Oz units, so I am not tied to Ctek as they are usually more expensive. Rob [/QUOTE]
