By the same other components I meant the PD charger mostly...as Ken B also observed, there is something about the on/off voltages of my combo with a Yandina that ends up cycling more often than I would like. Part of why I mentioned the used batteries I typically use is realizing that the voltage drop off in them may be a bit more up and down, and just a few tenths of a volt could be causing the cycling.
I think what I will do is order one of the Victrons noted in the other thread, and REPLACE the yandina with the victron. Then put the Yandina in the 75 coach which currently has no combiner. This will generate multiple comparative scenarios to see if the Victron eliminates the short cycling in the 78, and if the Yandina continues to short cycle in the 75.
Any tricks or things to be mindful of if I add a cheap solar charger to the mix are appreciated...
