Yep PMW. And yes was marketed as mppt. But knew it wasn't.
So basically it's a voltage activated solinode with a shut on each side..

Dirtbike stand and a cylinder honing tool, gonna be doing up my wifes XT225, setting up the suspension on my XR600 in between working on the Maverick over the holiday period.

As a point of interest it annoys crap out of me that almost all the 'tards selling panels on Ebay insist on gluing the bloody Regs to the Panels which is absolutely worst place to mount them

Another question, I am using my panels for both the camper trailer and the dual battery in the troll (I have an Anderson plug out to the bull bar for it) I think the solar30 is a great idea for the trailer, but would it handle under the bonnet? Happy to get two, just want to make sure first... [emoji3]

Don't think so..
They won't handle the heat, or the amperage from the alternator

SOme spotties from Mudski ! Very good light for the price. Although good by airflow to my radiator now LOL.

How many watts of panel?
I assume you want a 'permanent' Reg on the vehicle you just plug the Solar panel lead into?

If it was me... Get a high ambient temp rated reg with no LCD such as http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Morningst...sAAOSwLzdWSbsr
Mount it on the front member, say near the LH Headlamp
Those Morningstars are extremely reliable and rated to 65 deg ambient

Well got another delivery this arvo..
Led dimmer and switch.. Tis awesome..
The graduation is excellent from dim to bright.. flat out draws 4A from the 5m roll and dim doesn't even register on the controller..
Getting excited to finally start fitting it all..
