As it was completely caput I couldn’t test it for being overcharged but was kindly enlightened that over winter it had not received enough charge and calcium (i think educated) build up was the cause of the expansion🥲
My tractor circa 800cca lead acid battery hasn’t faulted for years now with its 20w Jaycar in the most direct sunlight panel position possible on the block but it also has a fairly decent parasitic drain coming from the starter motor diodies too I believe which may negate overcharging possibly?

Yeah, I think pollenface could be right so I bought two 5w Jaycar jobbies for the small capacity batteries and I’ll use the 10w for the bigger batteries.
I’m the same mate, just can’t find the other thread. There was one that chrisso started but that’s all I can find!

We generally leave the panel connected/wedged on a 45 degree angle
on its bullbar
pointing north upon weeks end.

The 45 is looking much better then last time we seen it.
