Well, we went cruising at the weekend. Prior to leaving home the regulator
was saying batteries over 80% capacity, voltage reading of the batteries was
in the healthy high 13 volts almost 14 volts so things are looking up. Short
cruise up to Bulbourne, overnight stop and then back yesterday. Fridge,
lighting etc all on 12v plus used inverter to power vacuum on Sunday
afternoon before coming home. Charge level dipped back to 60 - 80% but
recovered after cruise home. Was showing 80% plus this morning and panel
still charging battery despite the drizzle. We shall see how things
progress.
