I use a 30-watt Renogy solar panel and controller to keep my 4 6-volt batteries charged when stored over the winter near Seattle. I connect the charge controller's output directly to the batteries, and use the battery disconnect switch to remove any possible current draws. It works great!
Note: I put the solar panel on the roof in the fall and remove it in the spring.
thank you, the 30 watt renogy kit on amazon would be more cost effective for battery charge maintenance.
im a solar newbie forgive me. i understand the controller's function. how would you wire from controller directly to 2 12v batteries? positive to positive and negative to negative on 1 of the 2 batteries.
my tt has the "factory installed" zamp solar plug. from what i understand its wired with the polarity reversed. it would be convenient to use it with a non zamp controller but wondering if there are adapters available other than splicing and changing wires on zamp plug
