Hi All,
I finally decided to fit a solar panel on top of my van to keep the deep
cycle battery topped up, but looking at the solar panel controllers I have
a bit of a question...
Take this one, not necessarily what i am getting, but it will be something
similar:

It has three connections, the solar panel and the battery ones are self
explanatory, but the load connection has me puzzled.
At the moment I have a dual sensing charging relay so that the vehicle
battery is isolated from the deep cycle battery when not being charged via
the alternator. I would like to add the solar charging to the system on the
deep cycle side, but i don't' really want to change the other circuit I
already have. I run a 1800W inverter, lights, and two pumps on the back.
When they mark the terminals as load what do they actually mean, is this a
dump load for when the batteries can not take any more charge or do you
have to connect the actual loads via these terminals? I am pretty sure it
is for connecting a dump load but the Chinese/English translation is not
great, so looking for some confirmation.
Best Regards
             Luis
