It seems odd to me to at least in my eyes to waste 100 watts as a float charger for the chassis battery. . .
Good point. But while it is nominally 100 watts, with the unreasonably long cable run to the front of the coach and back, I seem to be getting only a fraction of that output to the batteries.
I suppose I could move the existing controller back near the batteries to improve these panels’ effectiveness, but that means pulling a second new set of wires. I hate thinking of maybe mixing these old panels on the same controller as new panels. I would probably just buy another new 110 watt panel rather than sort out compatibility questions for a 20 year old panel.
