ET650 Exide Leisure Battery Solar Charging

[n1nja]

I have the ET650 Exide Leisure Battery

and looking for foldable Solar Charging to place in the windscreen.

 

Not use the van much and the only charge is via a durite (alternator setup)

 

The battery drop to 12.3v

 

So thinking of of one of these to keep it topped up.

 

Dokio 100w

Or

Eco-worthy 120w

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RVG179M/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_fabc_jwA8FbEBQTD50

 

Both have regulator/controllers so it dose not overcharge or damage the battery.

 

Which one is better? Or are there alternatives?

 

Best regards

Vincent

I’m sure you’ve read the buyer reviews on the two Amazon adverts you’ve mentioned - and a GOOGLE-search shows that there are alternatives.

I believe your Exide leisure-battery is mounted towards the rear of your Toyota Hiace camper, so you’ll almost certainly need to extend any ‘dashboard’ solar panel’s cabling.
