I was telling the roommates; "You've got to use caution if your solar panels have normal active d.c. output (when attempting a parallel hookup).
Is that correct ? Raw panels I could see how that would increase the current supplied. But my (several) little solar trickle automobile battery 'keep alive' top off chargers each have active control electronics, or at least an LED, and so might not operate in expected parallel.
Maybe that caution would only apply if my solar panels have an active voltage controlling circuit...Now, I'm not sure, if simple parallel of two trickle chargers is safe, and works, to speed up an update of battery charge. Certainly would be considered a low-power fault in any case, which wouldn't hurt anything ?
Thanks
