CARETAKER46 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Just now, james.wilson said: no it needs to be coming out of the panel so meter the leads with the battery disconnected. Waiting till the battery has totally failed will usually kill the panel Thanks James. Noted about the meter lead needs to be coming out of the panel with the battery disconnected. Battery is usually changed every 3 - 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Just checking for stable voltage is only half of it, you need to make sure the panel can charge the battery at a decent enough rate. Measuring the current in and out of the battery with mains on and off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
