[QUOTE="condor22, post: 180724, member: 1932"] Pedro, The dimensions indicate a 200W panel, which should max at about 10.7amps. It appears to be Mono Crystalline. They normally, when connected, put out 18.7V and open circuit at about 22.5V. Unfortunately the only way to check the panel is to remove it. If you still get bugger all volts at output, it's stuffed and probably beyond repair. A new one would be cheaper. The isolator between Bat 1 & Bat 2 appears to be a can type solenoid, IGN controlled. So is only connected to Bat 1 and charging, when engine running Bat 3 is an 100AH AGM - I tried to find info on the Projecta 8000 and couldn't, as near as I can say, this is a maintenance charger, not sure of output, it's designed for a wet cell cold cranker (I believe). If so, you will eventually destroy the AGM. You need an Intelli charge smart charger, about 16A for that size battery, it's what I use on my 120AH in my caravan. [/QUOTE]
