G'day, I have a CTEK D250S. I have connected a solar panel (110w in size, which ideally should be able to output around 6amps in good light, I have bypassed the inbuilt regulator on the panel so I'm not connecting a regulator to a regulator {CTEK}) and the solar input light comes on (on the ctek) as does the charge light to complete the circuit (on the ctek).

I am not gaining any higher voltage on the output of the ctek to indicate my battery is charging. The voltage on the output of the ctek may read 12.40v (which is the current battery voltage) but when the solar panel is connected this does not increase.
When I turn my engine on this does increase the voltage to 14.4v. I have tested my solar panel on a seperate battery with its original regulator (not connected through the ctek) and it works fine.

Hope some one can help

Regards
Chris
