I'm thinking that for peace of mind I should ensure that my battery charging is up to scratch, so I dont have the worries of nearly killing my leisure batteries, like I did earlier this year. I have a bog standard setup with 1 vehicle battery, 1 solar panel, mppt controller and 2 leisure batteries.
I would like to fit.....have fitted....a B2B....if thats what you call it? I've had a little read up and to be honest, completely confused myself. I understand that the alternator charges the van battery and the solar panel charges the leisure batteries.
Is it possible to have any excess from either charging system distributed to the other system if required?
We dont really need to have the ability to be off grid for days at a time but would like to have the ability for a night or so. I have medical equipment which I need to use overnight, the power consumption is relatively low but if the weather the following day isnt great, I dont want to be stressing about batteries getting charged fully.
Or, am I over thinking this?
Thank you for your patience.
