Solar charge controller selection help needed
I am looking to put in a solar system that will produce about 30 amps per day. I choose a semi-flexible 135 watt panel made by Sunpower which meets my capacity needs. My only problem is choosing t...

Thank you for all the replies.
Pianotuna: I think so. I have this battery and it is 50% after 2 days of use.
Westend: Thank you for the calculator. Some converters have a consumption meter and an LVD function that disconnects the battery when it drops below a certain voltage.
Unfortunately the charge controller needs to sit between the battery and the load to do this and has to be sized to the load amperage.
I am assuming that worst case scenario would be 55 amps because that is my panels rated amperage.
