I just remembered to disconnect my battery's for winter. Last year I forgot and drained both battery's when solar panels got covered with snow. First, when the dealer put in my 170 watt solar set up he wired it to the back of the power panel (where all of the 12v circuits are and not directly to the battery's. This was the shortest run as he came down the void by the tanks vents from the roof which is right beside the power panel in the basement. There is a fuse in the solar system wiring in the whall behind the Go Power solar control/monitor panel.
The dealer installed 2- 12V interstate deep cycle battery's in parallel (negative to negative and positive to positive). I got the dual battery's as part of the package. Got best price then asked for them along with a water hose and sewer hose to be thrown in.
So for winter, on the battery closest to the power bar I disconnected and taped the positive cables. One from the first battery and the one to the power bar mounted on the back wall. There is a third smaller positive wire I taped that I believe goes to the front jacks. I also turned the master 12V switch to off (big red one in pass through).
Am I Ok? Nothing in the trailer works and the Go Power monitor panel is dead - no indications.
Thanks Keith
