Solar 12v Charger Questions
« on: June 01, 2013, 02:59:38 AM »
So the battery on my stacker trailer drains pretty quickly when using the doors 3700# winch, so im looking into a way to keep it charged when i dont have it plugged into power.

Since i know some people on here are familar with RV solar charging systems, looking to find out how much wattage i need to keep the rv/marine style battery in my trailer topped off.

any input its a regular truck size RV/marine battery 24 series i think 550cca.

im thinking about something better maybe two batterys for a little extra power lifting and dropping the gate/back door

Camping World has a small one on sale now ~ $100;  you might check it out as it comes with a charge controller so it shouldn't overcharge.
