Hi all, I have recently fitted two new leisure batteries , the previous ones only lasted just over two years. At the time I fitted the first lot, I also added a 150 watt solar panel , with a Schaudt LR1218 regulator, and the recommended connecting cables to the ELB99 elecktroblock ,Now I’m concerned that the regulator might be the reason for the short life of my earlier batteries, as ,when I check the panel ( IT992 ) it shows the pointer to be on the red area of 15 or more, however when I disconnect the solar panel the pointer goes back immediately to about 14.5. Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
