Hi, does anybody use a Solar battery maintainer to keep the battery topped up over the winter?
I don’t have mains power in the garage and used to connect a car battery to my non electronic GS a couple of days a month but not sure that would work with a 1200R full of electronic add ons.
Been looking at 20-25W panels with a built in charge controller for about £60-80, would this be ok?
Any info/experience would be appreciated.
If the panel has a built in charge controller that keeps voltage in the 13s when the batt is topped up, I'd certainly give it a try. I would double-check what it was putting out with a multimeter, though.
