Battery power


Can you use your battery while you've got your solar panels charging them ????

or do you have to disconnect the solar ??

Hi John. Yes you can use them at the same time. Some leave the solar panels connected all the time in their camping spot and use it as necessary.
It was all happening at Greens Lake.
Hope you both are well.

 All panels mounted on roof tops are permantly connected to the batteries so the answer is yes.

In fact the more power you use while on charge (compared with when off charge), the better it will be for your batteries.

Cheers,
