Keep Your RV Battery Charged When Not Hooked Up | RV SOLAR PANEL

[@mxhess]

Without a charge controller between panel and battery, this configuration is at danger of overcharging the battery and causing a fire or explosion.

[@PanganiTribe]

I don't believe it does.

Matthew, nothing like having a gas can right where sparks can occur!

[@Papa3Boys]

Yes, it would be nice to know the info on this panel....

[@PanganiTribe]

Not too sure. Got it from Academy and threw the box away. Sorry!

[@billmellinger1134]

I always thought a charge controller was needed for charging a battery with solar panels to stop over charging and damaging battery. But I could be wrong.

[@PanganiTribe]

That would honestly, probably be best practice.

Do you remove it when traveling? I've seen videos about the tank cover's flap top (the part on top held down with screws) coming off if turned the wrong direction (screws closer to tow vehicle) and catching wind.

[@PanganiTribe]

I do!

[@pauladam1659]

Where is the charge controller?

[@PanganiTribe]

I don't have one installed.

[@slopsec2358]

I see a battery explosion waiting to happen.

[@PanganiTribe]

not yet 😬

What panel did you use for this project? Do you have a link?

[@PanganiTribe]

No link sorry. Snagged it from Academy.

[@Clearbrowser]

[@PanganiTribe]

Don't have it sorry :(
