Hi everyone
I have a 40 year old caravan which is only 10 foot long and space is precious and pay load is limited. So I decided to mount 2x 200w panels on the roof rack of my tow van and mount a leisure battery and 2 mppt controllers in a heavy duty storage box. This way I can store all the heavy equipment in the tow vehicle and also unplug the pannels and remove the box should I need to use the van when away..
Anyway... my 2 controllers are connected in parallel to the battery however one of them, after a while, has a flashing battery charge bar. I replaced the controller only to find the new one does it too! What do you think the issues is?
I have attached some pictures. Ignore the second battery, this is not yet connected up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
