Question came up, can you combine the output of your solar panel, say a 150W 12v'er, and the output of your converter/charger and input them to the solar controller to get a higher amperage 3 or 4 stage output to the batteries?
Issues?
Yep, I do it often. What happens though is somewhere in time, one of the chargers fools the other into thinking the battery is more charged than it actually is. The 'fooled' charger may change to float stage.
When that happens, you must decide which one you want to carry on.
