Battery Voltage Regulation for Prop2 Supply

[Rover]

Ok now that I have the prop tied in with the Clock and the Relays soldered and tested, I have one concern.

My intention is to power the prop with my battery bank of 4 parallel 12  Volt Deep Cell batteries that are charged by my wind generator and solar.

Because of charging methods ... the power off the batteries can fluctuate wildely between 12 and as much 15 volt ( cloud passes then goes away, wind picks up etc)

Even though my charging sources are regulated,  output voltage variances are normal for this type of installation.  My other conected equipment ( 2 x 4 channel RF remotes (key fob) , inverter,  pumps and LED lighting (lots of LEDs -- 100s ) does fine..

Should I be concerned about the prop-2 power supply and provide some form of other voltage regulation for it? I'm pretty sure the onboard clock will be ok because of the prop2 regulation.. but the prop2 itself?

The Prop-2 power input will tolerate up to 29 volts before the regulator shuts down.  As there could be fluctuation's and noise, you might want to add a bit of external LC filtering -- get one of those LC filters for car radios (the kind that are designed to filter noises caused by the car's electrical system) and put it inline with the power input to the Prop-2.

Good idea and cheap.. I like cheap
