[QUOTE="condor22, post: 513250, member: 1932"] Nice bit of kit. To clarify, you don't need the globe to pull down a full battery to test it. What it does is offset the panels output. In other words, the load needs to be greater than the charge. You then need an Ammeter on the panel to measure its current. Think of it like a bucket of water, if the bucket is full, you can't put any more into it. So the extra water overflows and can't be measured. If the panel = a cup and the globe = a mug (as it's bigger), if you take out a mugs worth of water and put in a cups worth then you can see the difference in the level. Sorry for that analolgy, but it works for those I explain it to with little electrical knowledge. Not referring that to you, lol. [/QUOTE]
