That answers my question perfectly wildebus, thanks. Sorry I did'nt make the question clear, really I just want to leave the load terminals un-connected.
I had figured that the purpose of the load connection facility was to limit the battery current to 15amps and also, or more importantly, to protect the battery/ies (particularly lead, acid) from over discharge by disconnecting the load when the low voltage disconnect value is reached. The same is incorporated on my Morningstar which I already have connected up. I think it's a great feature in order to save your batteries in the case of accidentally leaving something switched on long term that would normally kill the battery/ies. It has on occasion shut down/disconnected, due to our Eberspacher starting up which can momentarily drawn a huge current but most of the time it's catered for as the Morningstar ignores a momentary high draw. I just did'nt know if the Victron would function if there are no connections on the load terminals.
As the huge panel and the Victron are just to be used.....'sometimes'......I'm planning for it to be clipped on as required and not to have to start a major re-wiring project. Enough of that already squeezing three batteries under the seats and tight fitting wiring.
Thanks to all who contributed, report to follow hopefully !
