The first part .I felt that having separate batteries removes any problems with pairing batteries in parrel I am currently chasing a simple lvd diagram The batteries are n120 800 cca 230ah but are not all the same on different site .The solar panels are normally new 80 watt .

To you... What is the difference if the current draw pulls down both batteries as a paralleled pair versus individual single battery sources switching back and forth? Do you have a low voltage disconnect in either path to the equipment? Are the batteries the same age, size and type? Are the solar panels the same age, size and type? s. > "Kerincom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Two 80 watt panels parallel supplying the two regulators which then charge > the 2 batteries separately .The idea I am working with is not to use the two > batteries in parallel in case one goes flat and takes the second out but to > either with the first part to reduce the current draw on > The batteries by separating the TX and rx power sources or to have a main > and backup battery incase the main goes flat > Thank You, > Ian Wells, > Kerinvale Comaudio, > 361 Camboon Road.Biloela.4715 > Phone 0749922574 or 0409159932 > www.kerinvalecomaudio.com.au > > -------Original Message------- > > From: skipp025 > Date: 2/08/2008 12:18:39 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Dual battery system > > Hi Ian, > > The first questions I would want to ask you are ... > > Are you supplying the charging energy to each charge controller > from the same or different solar arrays? > > Why the two solar chargers versus one solar charger?
