On a related note- I have been wondering how to test that my alternator is correctly regulating charging. I am presuming the test is to measure the voltage at the battery with the engine running. What should you measure for voltage for a fully charged vs. partially discharged battery?
Also, related to Randy’s comments, I have recently taken to leaving my battery switch on and all the panel switches off when I leave the boat. With a 50W solar panel, the batteries are always fully charged when I get to the boat, so I can’t see any reason to touch the main switch.
