There is probably a thread dedicated to this question, but I'll ask it here:
If I do get a 10-20W 12V solar panel, how do I hook it up to the battery? Just '+' to '+' and '-' to '-'? Do I need any extra fancy electronics, like diodes (to me, 'fancy electronics' is anything as complicated as a resistor)? The battery needs a voltage of 14-16V to charge, right? Will the solar panel give enough?
