Hey folks,
I've got parmack 12 volt fence chargers and have been just charging old car batteries once every couple of months to power them. Have a couple places that get plenty of sun and solar panels are getting cheaper. If started with a full battery and good fence (no grounds/shorts) how much solar panel would it take to maintain the battery? Would one of the 1.5 or 5 watt battery chargers/maintainers work or would it take something like 15 watts?
Thanks, Dave
