Hey everyone,
I recently installed solar and it's working well but I wanted to install a continuous duty solenoid to top off my battery on cloudy days. My house battery is a 100amp deep cycle that states the max charging amps is 30. I'm using 4 guage copper wire and two 150a fuses so it's possible that much more than 30 amps will run through the battery. I was hoping to ask those of you that know much more than I do on electricity if it would be a bad idea to use the alternator to help charge my batery? Thanks in advance!
