small portable solar panel

should a small portable panel be alligator clipped direct to the house battery or will it feet too much voltage and cook the battery? I don't think they have any logic or controller.

  • For twenty bucks WindyNation sells a weather resistant PWM battery controller. I use it for a small panel to keep the batteries charged between trips when the TT is covered. It has lasted two years and is going strong.
