+1 on the deep-cycle. I bought mine at Academy, and it works great on my 350. I have MM solar panel...

Did you put in any kind of protection so the battery does not overcharge?

For the smaller chargers say about 5 ~ 15 watts you probably won't need a charge controller as the current isn't that much (15w/13v(recommended)=1.15a) which is basically a tricklecharger. The solar panels have builtin protection to keep from discharging the battery at night. I run a 5w panel for my trailer mounted winch (8500#) with a standard deep cycle battery. Works great. Have another setup on my horse trailer for the living quarters which is 45w through a controller to 2 AGM batteries. No problem with either setup.

Guess I need to google that point. Can you over charge a 12v battery with a solar panel? If so how do you cut it off?

Just get on Amazon and get a solar charge controller...that's what I did and bypassed the RM350 controller.
