I have one more question, and it will help me decide which equipment to buy. It's a question I can't find a direct answer to, and I don't want assume:
All other things being equal, When a battery is being charged, will an increase in amperage charge the battery faster? I have been assuming 'yes', which is why I have been looking at the voltages of various solar panels.
It has been my assumption that an MPPT controller will convert the extra voltage of a 24v panel into a higher amperage while charging a 12v battery - thus decreasing charge time.
Is my assumption accurate?
