Hi,
Quick question about solar panels.
What specs do I need for a to keep my batteries charged?
I just need something to keep the batteries from draining when I'm not using the boat, and to replenish it if I use the boat for a weekend, and leave it idle for a week.
I am using a car battery and an AGM 100Ah connected in parallel.
At this point I don't have another way to charge the batteries but my outboard's alternator.
Since I can only sail in weekends, the boat sits idle most of the time and the batteries slowly drain, and likely get damaged. I suspect the AGM is pretty much dead but need a system to keep the charge first, before I get another battery.
Thanks,
