I have several panels=360watts GOING INTO ONE REGULATOR, that supplies one battery into one inverter....and works fine.
I have now included another battery and regulator but entirely separate to the other, no connections whatever.
I have connected the second regulator to the panels but find that theres a drain from one battery to another. So my guess is fit a couple of BLOCKING DIODES to the pane outputs, the system I know will give same panel output but halved between the 2 batteries.
My question is what make of diodes shud I purchase and what voltage and amperage.
The system is 12 volts.
From each battery I run THEIR POS AND NEG cables thru 2 separate isolators so no drain TO EITHER BATTERY OCCURS THERE as both outputs go to the same INVERTER...if I wanted to use the 2 batts I simply open up both inverters.
The panels supply 15amps, TAKE IT THATS 15X12=180WATTS.
QUESTION IS what diodes do I ask for?
Thanx for any help.
