Adam F Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I have 2 batts fitted to my boat, thorugh an isolation swtich. I also have a removable solar charger that plugs into the ciggie thingy. Question? - In which position should I set my switch when I have the solar panle plugged in and charging? obviosuly it will not be 1 or 2. But should it be OFF or BOTH????????? I appreciate this will only give a very small charge, but it is to keep them topped up more than anything, and as it is fitted into the Tonneau cover, I soon as well use it when Im not out in the boat!

Paul D Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Adam, Almost certainly wont be OFF, since this will isolate the "ciggie thingy" from the batteries. In BOTH you will trickle chagre both batteries together. I leave mine switched to BOTH when going out and then switch to 1 battery whilst out, leaving the other for starting if needed ( Never have needed the other ). Once started I then swicth back to BOTH to charge both batteries on way back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
