Question
Cobber
Morning, All!
Really looking forward to tapping into some knowledge here as I'm sure there are a few out that can help, especially due to the fact that I currently have zero experience with solar, and am not great with voltages, chargers, battery differences, etc.-
I have a Sunforce 100w crystalline Solar Panel that I picked up on a huge discount a few months ago for my upcoming fish house. I now recently bought a house, and I installed two (2) AGM batteries and I hooked them in series to double capacity.
I'd like to install that solar panel to the house batteries in just a low-voltage maintaining charge for the most part so as it sits in my yard or on a lake I can typically be able to pick-and-go, without worrying about maintaining.
My questions are many from this point, but mainly- where do I even start here? I know I need a charge controller but what one? What is the best option? (Secondly- Is there one available that I can set to 'trickle charge' when it's parked, and when we are actually using it, I can crank the flow up to more quickly recharge?)
Any help would be great!
