Edd,
I assume you have a good controller already (?). If you don’t - get one. Genasun tops the list. That would not get you through a few evenings, but it works wonders to keep the batteries topped up. Mine is 25 W.

I’d like to get bigger, but need it to fit on the sliding companionway hatch. Plus, I only need a trickle charge to keep the batteries topped off. All the best, Edd Edd M.

They are heavy gauge (#10) and have MC4 connectors. You might want to consider a larger panel. 1.5 amps isn't hardly anything compared to our considerable battery banks.

Please see: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/-bgAAOSwHQ9Wbt4x/s-l1600.jpg Question — I see two cables coming off it. I assume one goes to the controller/battery. What is the other for? Chaining more than one together? If so, can that just be cut? And yes, before anyone else says it: Scotty, I need more power! All the best, Edd Edd M.
