There is likely a diode on the coach battery socket that only allows electricity to flow one way.

I learned a lot, thank you for a thorough measurement

For the cigarette plug charger to work the plug has to be hot when key is off. If not that means when key is off the plug is disconnected from battery. Just an FYI great video thanks

can we use it while driving 🤔🤔 especially the cigarette socket?

[@trackpackgt877]

@@zzaartttart8093 you can't use it while you're driving because that cigarette lighter plug will have power from the alternator which will be charging the battery and running all the electronics so the juice from the solar panel won't make it to the battery

Thank you for such an informative video. You really did an excellent job. By the way, where is the location of the red rock tunnel at the beginning of your video?

It was on the way to Red Canyon Utah. Glad you liked my video!

Mrs Roadtrek can your friend that is so precise explain why the little chart data do not match with the data on the back when it comes to Voltage and % state of charge? Especially at the lower end is quite different.

Thanks for sharing, very helpful. Need to see if I can get the 10 Watt panel here in Germany as well. BTW: your acent sound similar to when Germans talk English ... do you have German roots?
