[Rhodes22-list] Battery Advice

I have an 11 watt solar panel.  When I bought it, the instructions that came with it said it did not need a charge controller because it should never overcharge an appropriate sized battery.  I do not have a charge controller and have had no problems.  I would think if you have two panels or a higher wattage panel, you would need a controller. - rob

Thanks Rummy. I imagine our 10 watt solar charger are well below 7 amps. Does any know?
