Hello,

I posted this on he camping group but I've had no replies. perhaps
they are all on holiday?

or out to lunch ...


I was advised (on uk diy) that a leisure battery might discharge if
left unused for some time and I was told that a solar charger would
top-up the charge and prevent this. What size solar panel would I
need? Does the output of the panel have to be a certain ration of the
capacity of the battery? If so, what's the magic formula?

BTW can you recommend a good make of leisure battery and any good
suppliers?

Just go and buy the one Maplins have on offer at the moment

Solar chargers depend on light falling on the cells - otherwise more or
less known as sunshine

we live in the UK - go figure
