I have just got a 4wd supercentre 160 w solar set up. In today's heat it was reading about 18 v at the end of the lead. Is this too much for the battery? Isn't the solar controller supposed to reduce this? It came with alligator clamps for the battery with an anderson plug on the end to plug the lead from the solar into. If I take a reading here on the clamps it is back to 13.4-13.5 v. Is this correct? Can I just plug the solar panel lead into the anderson plug which goes to the camper battery [via circuit breaker] and do away with the clamps? Ditto the anderson plug at the back of the car to charge the second battery in the Prado?
The vague instructions say there should be a light to show the system is working. I can't see it but the system certainly gave the AGM battery in the camper a charge.
