Solar Charge Controller
Looking at solar and seeing different options for controllers. What's the difference between PWM and MPPT?

The 15' cable that comes with the Renogy portables is way too short so I plan to move the controller near the batteries. I really liked someone's idea of having two different length cables with quick connects. I had already replaced the alligator clips with ring/Anderson ends.
I'm debating on the portable or piecing it together. If I piece it together, I will go with some longer cable. The upside of going with the portables is that they will already be hinged together and have a built in stand. The downside is that the controller is mounted on it and thus you don't want to really have the panels too far from the batteries then.
My portable I mounted controller in a box and have a foot away from batteries. Use about 20 feet of cable between panel and controller.
Same idea applied here.
