Hi, instead of buying I put together some solar panels I have at home, this setup works fine and keeps the battery charged (I can improve this). Naturally there is a protection diode to avoid the energy going back to the panel when there is not enough sunlight, BUT I would like to start the car with the panel still connected, I know starting the car will produce a high energy bounce in both voltage and amps, and I don't think a single simple diode will work for protection. Anyone happens to have some advice on this???
- A stronger diode?
- 2 or more diodes in parallel?
- Any ideas?
I'm working from home and rarely use my car, this means battery slowly looses charger naturally, the car alarm and electric doors also drain energy while in waiting mode. Been disconnecting the battery but till I don't use the care so often and the cold makes everything worse.
Thanks in advance.
