Can I use this to charge a lithium battery via its regulated input or is it only suited to AGM/Deep cell batteries?1 answer
I'm using a Nomad PDU V5 lithium battery pack.

G'day Wes,
It took a bit of digging to get this information, however Dometic specified that the solar regulator on these panels is only compatible with Lead Acid, AGM and Gel batteries. If you're wanting to charge a Lithium Battery you'd need a solar controller compatible with Lithium Battery Packs.

CAN THIS BE OPERATED WITH & WITHOUT THE REGULATOR. VAN HAS A BUILT IN REGULATOR BUT THE SECOND BATTERY IN THE CAR DOES NOT.
TERRY - St George(5 years ago)
G'day Terry,
I've called Dometic to confirm that you can use this panel both with and without the regulator. On the van you can bypass the regulator and connect the short ends of the positive and negative terminals to whichever cable you have as an input for your van. You could then detach this and connect it to your vehicle via the regulator. It's not really set up for plug and play though so that would be something to consider.

Solar regulator1 answer
Where is the regulator attached? Is it David rectory on the back of the panel or attached to the frame?

G'day Wendy,
I've just double checked out display model of the 120W panel and the regulator is attached to the back of the panel. We're confident this is the same on the 180W panel.

does this deliver up to 180 watts. like constantly or over an hour1 answer
does this deliver enough power to keep a fridge running.

G'day Mark,
The Dometic Portable 180W Solar Panel will only deliver 180W in perfect conditions, if its cloudy or there's shade, it won't work to its full capacity. It should be more than enough to run a fridge but keep in mind that you'll need a battery in between the solar panel to maintain proper power to your fridge.
