I want to add solar panels
Hi, I have a 2002 Lance 815 truck camper. It came with a factory installed solar panel which is about 1'x4'. I'm a boondocker and I'm constantly draining my one battery. The one panel doesn't seem to do much to recharge the battery. Is there an easy way to add additional panels? I'm not sure exactly how it would work, If I would just connect the new panels to the existing panel or if I would have to upgrade the regulator and run new wires. Any help would be appreciated.3.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Power converter cycling on and off
Ok problem not solved. It went back to cycling on and off. When it's on it's only charging at 12.5v. I believe it's supposed to charge at 13.6v so I think something's wrong with my power converter. I just ordered a progressive dynamics converter/ charger with built in charging wizard. Amazon seemed to have the best price.372Views0likes0CommentsPower converter cycling on and off
I have a 2002 Lance 815 truck camper. I currently have the camper plugged into AC power bc my battery needs to be charged. I can hear the power converter constantly switching on and off. It seems to go on for about 10 sec. then switch off for about 50 sec. When it's on the battery is being charged. I can tell bc the battery monitor shows a full charge but then when the power converter switches off the battery monitor shows a low charge. Is this normal or should the battery be constantly charging? If its not normal what could be the problem?1.4KViews0likes5Comments
