Re: solar chargeing batterys
Its its a low wattage panel you just connect it directly to the battery or isolator switch.
If its a higher power solar panel you need a regulator... what do the instructions suggest?

Re: solar chargeing batterys
I have a couple of 1.5W panels in parallel keeping the battery topped up while the boat is parked behind the house. Connectors are straight onto the battery posts, there's a cut-out circuit inside the panels that shuts them off if you get the polarity wrong, so its all straight forward.
