[QUOTE="fluffyboxerfan, post: 240785, member: 7277"] Wow thank you everyone, seems like I have a lot of homework to do re charging and chasing down issues I never even contemplated. i.e. reverse discharge and diode faults on the panels. Unfortunately the best I can do for now is get the batteries checked, as I am heading away for work for 10 days and won't be around to do the rest of the trouble shooting. My panels are wired in series and the batteries are in parallel. Definitely something has changed though, just have to find what! Pretty sure the alternator is charging the batteries, but will double check that as well. I shall post and let everyone know how the batteries have tested, hopefully can get the wife to drop them in to Battery World on Wednesday. If anyone has any other ideas as to faults that may have occurred please feel free to share. I will get the wife to check back and keep me informed by phone. You have all been an absolute mountain of knowledge and offered some great scenarios. thanks again, Bill :cool: [/QUOTE]
