[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 289774, member: 3775"] Cool, I am waiting for a 60 Amp MTTP Charge controller to turn up because I am going to run 3 x 100 watt Panels Quoted @ 5 amps each panel on rainy days and 70 Amps per day each in the summer, Also I will be ordering 3 or 4 180 Amp Deep Cycle Batteries and have them split in to 2 banks of Two so I can switch over from one to the other so as not to drain either bank too far to help the battery Life, I have heaps of Solar AA battery chargers and a back up panel for the truck but because the instructions showed you how to hook it up just with Croc Clips that damn thing killed 2 sets of truck Batteries in less than a year because the Voltage was unregulated and putting out 21v+, and then the Blocking Diode broke so now I have to fix that because some fool fitted it the wrong way round on the panel So at night it was draining my Batteries.
