150 watts, portable, PWM controller, aimed at the sun two to three times a day, set at 14.4 V, 13.8V showing at the terminals, started up at 10:30 AM on Friday, showing 8.3 amps charge rate, aimed at the sun, Plomosa campground, Quartzsite, AZ. One 150 amp hour Telecom AGM battery, down perhaps 30-35 amps from full charge.
I've no idea when it stops charging, I do know that I got a full charge, even with all the high clouds all day on Saturday. By 9pm at night, Saturday night, I was showing 12.74V, down from 12.84V when fully charged.
Now that I am home again, I will top charge it again for about 3 to 4 hours at 14.40V for storage purposes and to prevent sulfation.
I've seen 8.9 amps out of it in mid June, along the Madison River, Raynolds Pass Road, MT, 8 miles from the Continental Divide there, laid flat on astroturf, battery in same state of charge and plugged in at 11 AM in the morning to start charging.
