Battery voltage

[Deleted member 1220]

Just installed a 160w solar panel alongside a 50w. Both leisure batteries are reading 14v. Is this ok?

14 volts is good , once they reach maximum capacity the controller will drop the voltage and trickle charge at about 13.8 v

14.4 is normal,some go a we tad higher 14.7 just before going into float mode witch can drop to 13.7,also depends on sun light and time of day.
My new regulator is pumping easy 14.5 today with some sun and part grey overcast.

Do both your solar panels have the same output voltage?

Great! Thank you Jeff it is doing that.
