Jixipix Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi everyone, the first of many questions, having just paid a deposit on the vehicle I am now writing up my project plan for the conversion. So ..... 1) what leisure battery does everyone recommend? 2) what size solar panel? is there a cunning formula for calculating the need? 3) Do you all have a split relay or is this not necessary or a good idea with solar panels? Thanks so much, all this is taking my mind off a horrible time right now xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThuMentaliss Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 With a split relay charging installation the alternator will produce charging amp's to your leisure battery far more efficiently than a solar panel, you would not gain much by installing a solar panel but if you intend to do a lot of wild camping, i.e. no mains hook up and running devices off 12volt then the solar panel could be a must 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
