Red, when I say direct attachment to 12v panels, I'm thinking of CLA chargers with wall-wart transformers to charge gadgets like cell phones, etc. Their voltage tolerance is pretty broad. In a pinch I like the idea of running directly from the array.
Understood, panel can be directly connected to batt but you will need to be the on/off switch to avoid overcharge/nightly drain.
I hook a 60w panel directly to a 79ah batt to top charge, it doesn't take long in good sun, a full 18ah batt would take way less time!!!
