Default Charging parallelled 12v car batteries "in situ"

Take care with solar trickle charging over long periods.


I have seen batteries wrecked by this. Once the batteries


are charged the trickle goes on electrolysing the water (gassing) and eventually the plates get exposed and damaged.

Yes, that's with a proper big solar panel. The little ones (about a foot
by 6") won't do that.
