No not disregarding at all. Just have a 3 day boondock coming up soon and don't have big cash to spend on a nice solar system yet.
So.....you are going to waste cash now because you can't afford to do it right ??
To upgrade later, you will pretty much have to replace the whole system. When you replace the panels and controller, the only thing left is a few wires.
It sounds to me like you are in over your head, budget wise and maybe you can't afford to run your fridge on a trip like that right now.
It is possible to camp for 3 days without a fridge.
But......if you insist on doing it anyway, for making the connection at the battery you find the cables LEAVING the battery bank and connect there. Under no circumstances, with 4-6 volt batteries, would you connect both charging leads to the same battery.
I don't understand why people ask for advice and then ignore what comes back. Why bother ??
P.S. Can someone provide a link to the 12 V tutorial ? I didn't save it. You NEED TO READ THAT. And get an inexpensive multi-meter.
Just because you know little to nothing about batteries now doesn't mean that it needs to stay that way.
Remaining ignorant can be disastrous.
