MPPT technology rules.
I charged the optima battery up last night, drove to work with no alternator and one 10 watt panel installed turned off the suburban about the time the sun was coming up.
Worried that I might have a weak battery after work since its dark when I get out of work. I put the key in and it fired up stronger than ever.
I am starting to think 14 of these might be over doing it a tiny bit.
