Solar Panel Connections
The two cables leading from the solar panes are at the upper left corner of the photo.
The powerpole junction block the solar panel leads are connected too, allows the 7 Ah charge controller to monitor and control the charge from both solar panels on the input side of the charge controller.
The regulated charge leaving the charge controller on the output side connects up to the power can holding the gel cell batteries.
The power can that I built from a 30 caliber ammo can is quite unique in the fact that it has a charge controller of its own built in to it.
I pulled the charge controller out of a commercial jump start unit that had defective batteries, and the batteries were no longer available to repair it.
