That's the one lenny has linked to above....And the one techno mentions in his posts on solar..
Only if you fit a dual output regulator or a single output one with a solar split charge relay, which is what I did.If you wire via the EBL it will charge the engine battery without any additional wiring or facilities.

Just to be certain if you haven't already done so... disconnect everything.. panels and battery...Went to Silverstone and the solar was great 6 days no hook up working well, next weekend nothing coming from the solar , checked the fuses etc all ok. Disconnected the panels and tested 21.5volts, check the controller output , no change if the panel was connected or not just battery voltage at the output cables. Disconnected the cables and left the panels connected nothing
Not in the case of the EBL99. The solar connection pin is simply another source of charging current and is offered to the battery sensing circuits along with the rest.Only if you fit a dual output regulator or a single output one with a solar split charge relay, which is what I did.

Don't think so the Schaudt regulators are dual output and the EBL99 has no charging control on solar the solar connections are just straight through to the batteries.Not in the case of the EBL99.

I'm arguing this based on the circuit diagram of the EBL99. You are correct that the output of (whatever) solar regulator goes directly to the hab battery. So does the output of the EBLs built in charger. A sensing circuit determines when the hab battery and hab services are satisfied then allows the starter battery to connect to the hab battery - which is how the starter battery obtains a small, intermittent, charge.Don't think so the Schaudt regulators are dual output and the EBL99 has no charging control on solar the solar connections are just straight through to the batteries.
That happens on the mains side but like I said the solar connections are just a link to the batteries.I'm arguing this based on the circuit diagram of the EBL99.

I can't say I'm absolutely certain because life's too short to work out the detailed operation of the EBL and anyway I don't have information on the operation of its internal module. But I can't see a separate trickle feed within the circuit - hence my description of how it appears to work.
I know they are - but so is the output of the mains charger?That happens on the mains side but like I said the solar connections are just a link to the batteries.

But if you are just using solar stating the obvious there is no output from the mains so it's irrelevant what that side does.I know they are - but so is the output of the mains charger?
