Thanks, for the response.50w Solar panel and charger install helpHi All, I'm in the process of adding a 50w solar panel and charge controller to my enclosed utility trailer. I currently have a 10amp smart charger to keep my 35ah batter topped off. My question is, when I install my solar panel will there be a conflict between the smart charger and the panel if I'm plugged to shore power and the panel is charging my battery at the same time? I the obvious answer to me is yes... If yes, what do I need to add to my system so this doesn't happen. Thanks, JLRe: Adding two 6v to two 12v? wa8yxm wrote: time2roll wrote: You can spring for a new Class A but putting a matching set of batteries is not feasible? Well I did not afford my Class A by throwing out perfectly good stuff (Wasting money) and I know for a fact that so long as they are in Parallel not series. batteries need only match on one parameter VOLTAGE. Batteries will work out all the other differences. You can parallel a aaa aaaa c and D battery and they will work it out. Same with a Group 24 27. 29 31 and a pair of GC2. they will work it out. 100% guaranteed. I'm not cheap but I'm trying to follow your lead and not throw money away. I've done lots of that in my younger days.Re: Adding two 6v to two 12v? RJsfishin wrote: I don't know what you're expecting to gain from 2 6v over 2 12v, both being deep cycle. And BTW, 12v RV marine / trolling motor batteries are deep cycle batteries, despite what "know it alls" lead you to believe. Buy 2 new 12v batteries same as the existing 2, and you will be happy. You will not notice any difference if you go to 6v, if you discharge to 50% Thanks for the advice, I was leaning this way and decided to do exactly what you're suggesting.Re: Adding two 6v to two 12v? time2roll wrote: You can spring for a new Class A but putting a matching set of batteries is not feasible? If you read the whole post you would have seen that money isn't the issue. I just didn't want toss out two new 12v. I am adding two more batteries so I would have a total of 4. I was trying to figure out if adding two 6 would work with the 12v ok.Re: CO detector beepingSome beep when your house batteries are low.Re: SAFETY WARNING FOR TOADS wildmanbaker wrote: From the picture, that is the Ford frame that has failed, not an extension added by the Thor. I can't say for sure, but it looks like someone used a weight distributing hitch with this setup, that it was not designed for one. More than likely, the factory information packet also says to not use a weight distributing hitch either. How can you tell a WDH was used? I don't see the hitch or the bars.Re: Adding two 6v to two 12v? theoldwizard1 wrote: edbehnke wrote: remeber batteries always go to the weakest battery. heck, just replace them all. Concur ! Limp along on what you have until you have the funds to do them all. It's not about funds. I just don't want to wast 2 new 12v batteries.
