Two Battery System
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2021 10:29 am
Ok folks, I have no power at my slip and would like to maintain a bait tank battery and trolling motor battery with a small 5w solar panel. I am not a heavy user of either battery. One battery has some age on the other, so I'm assuming I shouldn't run them parallel.
So I have in my possession.

a small controller https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Energise-Wat ... 5HMWEGYJJE
I even have a switch if I need one. https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Battery-Sm ... 099&sr=8-5
How can I set my system up? Would it be overkill to use the isolator and Solar controller for just 5 watts?
