    Solar charging D4 battery

    Hi there - if we're off grid for a few days with the rear doors open (tailgate tent) the battery needs trickle charge - currently have CTek MX10 charger for mains power, but may need to go solar.

    Battery (replaced Dec 2020) is Delkor AGM LN5 900CCA 95Ah

    Any ideas, recommendations appreciated, thanks

    External panel with Reg.
    Lead made up to plug into 12S (White) socket.

    There are connections in there for direct power to main battery and Negative.

    I've got 160w on the roof and a cheap fridge that never gets unplugged. I usually only plug into the wall at home if it's been raining or overcast and I do that every 3 days if it's bad. Never if it's good. I drive half hour to work 5 days a week.. Simple traxide system with SSB batteries.

    My reg is on my roof rack and it's permanent.

    Solar camping.

    Do you have an auxilliary battery with solar charging. I use an ARKPAK 730 with a 120ah lifepo4 in it with a 100/30 Victron mppt and a 200w solar blanket that lays over the windscreen. I modified a cable that goes Anderson to 12s pins 3 earth and 4 positive. There are 3 fuses in line but the lowest is 15amp.
