Hi all, hope you can help with any information.
First time away for a weekend without electric hook up, we have a solar panel and regulator which I connected direct to the battery terminals.
The voltage on the inboard power unit stated 12.5v rising to 12.7 after a full day then dropping to 12.4 overnight before rising again during the second day.
My questions, does this type of range sound right or is it too low?
I know when I am on electric the volts reading seams more around 13.5.
If that does sound right, next question, which is the best way to couple up to the battery, is it direct to the terminals or is there other ways.
Sorry for being vague but looking to try rallying so want to try and get things right.
The van is a 2009 sterling Europa. The solar panel is a freestanding unit
Thanks
John
