I leave my trailer in a rural area where we camp with no hook ups. I have been looking into solar. A friend leaves his batteries hooked up to his solar and the batteries disconnected from the trailer so that they are charged when we come back to the property every 1 to two weeks. Is there any risk to this? Any known mishaps in regards to fire or something I am overlooking? It would be terrible to have something go wrong while I am not around and have it burn the property down.
Thanks.
What is your intent... to maintain the batteries fully charged while in storage?
Disconnect the battery from the trailer in storage, buy a PWM charge controller on ebay for $10, and a 40 w panel for storage.
40w 12v panel Buy a bigger panel if you want to recharge your batteries while camping. Calculate your daily amp usage first, then buy panels. 1 to 1.5 watts per amp you use per day.
Extensive selections of 12v panels.
