power from a solar panel for a satellite system (1 Viewer)

[xjrchris]

Hi i have bought myself a glomex discovery s460s satellite system as a xmas treat,
to power it up i was wondering if i could tap into the 12v feed from the control box that goes to the battery from the solar panel or do i need to run a new feed to the battery ?
as the feed is runing to the battery would it harm the satellite system if i connected it to this ?
Thanks Chris

If you tap off BEFORE the battery then what happens at night ??? You have no power....

Yes you can connect to the battery output of the regulator, the voltage is the same as the battery terminals all the time.

I would just ensure there is a fuse in the feed to the satellite system. About 5A should suffice but see what the destructions suggest.
