I have a 130 watt panel feeding into a Schaudt LR1218 regulator. I fitted an additional 30 amp fuse in the +ve line between panel and regulator, purely for the purposes of isolating the panel: e.g. if I want to switch off the panel to prevent a false 14.3v reading at the battery when using the mains charger (EBL99) or when working on the batteries.
It is a bit of a 'faff' fishing the fuse from under the driver's seat so I am thinking of replacing it with a battery isolator (or 'kill switch'). Any comments on this from the experts - does it sound like a good idea?
