Hi All
As a follow on from my first question about planning my solar install, my question is about how my van's control panel will work if I "bypass" it by having a solar panel->solar controller->batteries setup.
Currently, the van's control panel shows hab & cab battery voltages when in use off-EHU & charging voltages when on-EHU. This is straightforward for me to know how much power I left have when off-EHU by the voltage/discharge chart, but it just struck me that after I have installed the solar panel, the van's control panel will effectively be showing a charging voltage constantly (well, during the day, anyway)
So, in my situation, how will I be able to tell the state of my batteries charge?
Thanks in advance, again
Steve
