Iflyfish Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I have installed an Inteli-charger in my '87 Sunrader. The inteli-charger pulses 14 amps to the batteries, which keeps them from sulfating the batteries during storage. I lost two Trojan Batteries in my Winnebago View before I installed an inteli-charger. My question is this: If I install solar on my Sunrader will the solar input into the system be pulsed by the inteli-charger or does the solar go directly to the battery without going thru the Inteli-charger?

WME Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Choices.. buy a solar controller that has 3-4 stages. Some mfg call their controller a 3 stage others that do the same thing call theirs a 4 stage. What your looking for is an equalization charge stage. A desulfator as a bit different. This is what I use for a desulfator... https://www.ebay.com/itm/PulseTech-PowerPulse-12-Volt-Battery-Maintenance-System-PP-12-L/183658489068?epid=2254333963&hash=item2ac2e624ec:g:bVYAAOSwaEdcTyhv. It'snn powered from the battery so there is a small constant drain. The solar panel will handle it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate your thinking on this. Iflyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The Pulse-Tech comes in 12,24,36,48v models. The only thing the unit cares about is the voltage. So the 12v unit will work with 2 6v batteries in series (my setup) or with 2 or 3 12v batteries in parallel. If you have some spare time between fishing trips, take a stroll through their web site... https://www.pulsetech.net/ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
