    I think I’ll start with a flail mower, I’d like a haybob, and a small square baler eventually. Not sure how I find an old baler that’s cheap but not worn out though - I’ve no idea how they work.

    I may have my complete setup for sale in the not too distant future, disc mower, PZ haybob and New Holland 276 baler.

  2. Thanks for the reply's, the solar panel would be wired through a charge controller, I think what I had forgotten (or never knew in the first place) is that the controller will shut off  if it detects a higher voltage, so whether that is from the alternator or from a 240v charger it should disconnect the solar panel if I'm understanding correctly?

    @FridgeFreezer are those voltage settings on your controllers what they will try to deliver to the battery or is the voltage at which they will disconnect?

     

  3. Hi, quick question for you electrical guru's.

    I have a leisure battery that is charging through a split charge relay, the battery just runs a 40l compressor type fridge, a few lights and USB points but I'm finding that if I'm parked up for more than a few days I'm running out of juice so I would like to add a solar panel to keep things topped up. Occasionally we are on a campsite with EHU so I thought about adding a small smart battery charger as well.

    My question is, would this be ok? Split charge and a solar panel and a 240v battery charger all connected to the leisure battery? Obviously the split charge and battery charger would never be on at the same time but would the solar panel 'argue' with the 240v battery charger when I have EHU?
