I think the solar panel on My Autotrail Commanche isn't working and charging the leisure batteries. I have 2 very low power consumption security devices running boat adding up to about 1.5a/h. The solar panel is 85w and in 15 days the batteries were down to 3.6v. I would very much expect the solar to keep up with that demand given that In Belgium its been pretty bright.
The panel is working at the wires, but from there on the wires go into the ??? power box where without opening it up I lose track of them.
The previous owner said it was working well but since they have had stuff removed and transferred I am wondering if in the process it has bee taken out of circuit.
I know about solar installations using an MPPT as I have done one on my boat with 500w of panels.
So my question is how does the power from the panel get to the batteries via the ????? power box. Does that have a some sort of solar controller in it
Cheers
