I picked up a 15w solar panel from harbor freight and 2 cmp12 charge controllers off of ebay.
One solar panel two batteries.
2 2kw suntech mono classic 200 new trace sw4024.
The parallel connection of two identical batteries allows to get twice the capacity of the individual batteries keeping the same rated voltage.
The most common question i get asked on a daily basis is.
I have connected the solar panel to both controllers.
We figured out a way to connect two solar.
Would it be possible to to connect the two terminals of the solar panel to 12v and 12v terminals.
Following this example where there are two 12v 200ah batteries connected in parallel we will therefore have a voltage of 12v volts and a total capacity of 400ah ampere hour.
Can i connect two solar panels with separate regulators to my one battery bank a lot of people when they first start out with their caravan or motor home mount solar panels on to their roof almost by default.
The low discharge feature is ideal in solar installations as it helps retain power for more extended periods for later use.

The two banks are charge separately using the same controller and solar panels.
Any solar system whether small or large grid tied or off grid lithium batteries are ideal for all.
However i m using it to separately get 12v supply and 12v supply.
You can easily start with one battery and add a second bank later.
I have two pieces of battery operated equipment that i keep in my cargo trailer one uses a 12v 10ah sealed lead acid battery the other a 12v 2 5ah sealed lead acid battery.
Connecting two solar regulators.
Morningstar makes a dual battery charge controller called the sunsaver duo.
Notice the two discrete battery connection points on both sides of the solar array connection on the back of the above controller.
I have a 24v rated solar panel and was wondering if it s possible to charge the two batteries while in operation.
You will need more panel to do any worthwhile charging as 50 watts isn t going to go to far in charging one battery let alone two.
It s a 25 amp controller.

We have a wedgetail camper with a redarc manager30 and a 100ah revolution power lithium battery.
