Prob for me is the car can't be parked where i can run a mains lead .


So got a 10 watt solar panel but reckon its either not enough ??? or the controllers duff..


just got another Solar controller with lots of settings if i can fgure out the Chinglish manual and its all set up in my Window test charging the ZR's old Battery and seems to be holding 12.6 v .. with a bit of Sun .


nope its 13 odd volts with no load even after a failed start...

Did you say that the battery voltage when connected to your V8 is 13.0 - 13.5 volts when the ignition key is turned to 'start'?
