[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 320008, member: 3820"] Cheers bazxa and thanks for the input. I didn't want to make it too technical so just wanted to know about the blue floating wire, I'd only used the camper with solar panel twice and since the regulator on the panel died now understand the AGM needing 14.5v to charge it which is why I went for the SR 1212-2, when at home I put the camper battery on the Matson 10amp 3 stage charger for 1 week every month. The new issue I thought I had was the deep cycle in my ute being a wet battery so the regulator should be wired up different to the AGM but it appears this wet battery can take 14.4v charge. The simple question is do I still need to put a switch in? The 3 batteries I have are what came with the vehicle & camper when I bought them so when they need replacing I'll look into a proper battery choice for my needs, until then these 3 batteries work just fine with the way it's setup.
