I have a 12 Volt 7Ah battery in my electric gate motor. I Am charging a 30Ah Battery with a 55 Watt Solar panel.
At night 2 x 600mm LED tube lights are switched on through a 12 Volt day night switch
I want the battery in the gate motor to charge from the solar panel but not feed the lights at night.
Currently I have the batteries connected in Parallel.
If I was to put a suitable diode on the positive going to the 7ah Battery wouldyhe 7 Ah battery still charge from the solar panels and feed fromthe 30Ah Battery but not provide power to the lighting circuit?
Many thanks
Rodney
