Hi,
After the moment i have one solar panel, connected to a solar controller attached to a deep cycle 12V battery and a device connected to the Controller Output to a 12V to USB converter connected to a 5V device running 24/7 for about 4 days and then the charge controller stops output when battery is low.
I want to increase the duration by adding another battery (different brand and Ah)
Here's the idea:
Purchase another Solar Controller. Output from Solar Panel split to go into two Charge Controllers. (so both batteries are getting charged seperately). Then combine both outputs of the two Charge Controllers into One Output (same voltage, but presumably the combined Ah of both batteries) and connect to 12V to 5V converter to my 5V device = longer run time?
Is this correct and the safest way... Safest as in the two batteries are different and i don't want to connect them in parallel to cause any problems whilst being charged...
Will this work?
Thanks
