Edd,
it is a moot point now, but don’t believe in solar charging with no regulator.
I found it one of the sure ways of killing the battery. One summer with 6W
solar charger to a 80 Ah marine battery and it was a toast.
GenSun is the easiest choice (best reviews and good price). Morningstar is
good, as well, especially if you want to have two batteries charged separately
(without EchoCharger).

Bob,
I haven’t, but I want the ability to move up to a stronger panel if I need to.
All the best,

15 watt is so small I wonder if you even need one. Have you measured the
voltage output from the solar panel?

Listers,
I’m looking for a decent charge controller for my 15W solar panel running
to my house bank. There seems to be so many choices out there landing from a
few bucks to over $60.
What should I be looking for? Will this one work well enough?
