hello guys this is my first post, i hope I am posting this one on the right section. aamseee
I am looking for some advise.
i have bought a Motorhome which has a solar panel (100w) and a leisure battery 110ah i am thinking of upgrade the solar panel by adding 1 or 2 two 100 Watts panels, my current solar charger is kemo m174 16 amps ( 8 amps each battery, i only have one connected ).
As i am living on it having it done by a caravan service center is going to be really expensive also in terms of accommodation.
the options i though of are:
1) connect the new solar panels in parallel and then to the existing charger ( 14 v x 8 amps ) without adding an extra leisure battery.
2) options 1 adding an extra leisure battery in parallel.
3) buy two extra solar panels and a separate charger feeding the same battery.
my doubts are :
Will the system be able to deal with extra amperage from the new leisure batteries / solar panels?
will the charger be able to deal with extra power coming from the added solar panels?
what are your thoughts on this ideas.
thanks for taking the time to read this and please excuse my poor English
best regards
