A little hint that I picked up. When you want to use your Travel Buddy and you want it's best performance it loses a lot of heat through the door. You can get heat shields they go on the inside of the door and this allows for your Travel Buddy to work efficiently
@@BAWAutomotive I had a Travel Buddy the original one and somebody liked it better than me so they took it. You get a heat shield pretty much from anybody who should sell them for travel buddies
Curious Why there would be a solar reg installed under the bonnet, Surely that gets way hotter than 40c under there even if the car is sitting for hours with no motor been running. Victron MPPT -TEMPERATURE ABOVE 40°C When the solar charger heats up, eventually the output current will derate. When the current is reduced naturally the output power will reduce as well. The controller is operational up to 60°C, with a full rated output up to 40°C. In case the solar charger heats up quicker than expected, pay attention to the way it has been mounted. Mount it in such a way that the generated heat can dissipate. Ideally mount the solar charger on a vertical surface with the terminals facing downwards. If the solar charger is located in a closed enclosure, such as a cabinet, make sure that cold air can enter and hot air can leave the enclosure. Mount vents in the enclosure. For very hot environments consider mechanical air extraction or provide air conditioning.
