I would have expected you to say that the panel behaves as a constant current charger.

COLVERT - this is shameful given your attention to detail and in particular detail concerning choice of words!
Clipped. Not understood by me.--Clipped is what happens to our two shih-tzus
when the dog lady comes around.

I see it as a very slight increase in surface voltage and thus reducing any potential damage to any of the cars delicate electronic bits by over-pressurising them by too high a circuit voltage.

I'll stick to my own description but thanks all the same after asking the opinion of a couple of family members.---Clipped was meaningless to them. All I got was a shrug and a negative shake of the head.

I have heard of clippies on buses and even a clip joint but never to do with batteries after more the 65 years of messing about with them.-- Get your tickets clipped over here.---Lol.




PS.
My choice of words has severely deteriorated since the word PARAGON disappeared off my T-Shirt in the weekly wash.
