Adding a solar charger for the breakaway box

The little 1.5w charger HF sells wold be perfect for this application.

Most of these breakaway batteries are sealed lead acid type so there is no electrolyte maintenance possible.

I like this project. Thanks for posting.
It's overkill, but in a good way. :thumbsup:
Now you can't build a polebarn to store that trailer in.. bummer.

OK, the little 3A controller came in. Cut the line from the panel down stream from the power poles & made the appropriate connections.

The controller just happens to fit nicely down beside the battery. It was probably redundant, but I don't have to worry about it now...
