Re: Simple Solar
This will probably be too vague but I finally downloaded the software for my solar controller. Just wondering where I should set my parameters to keep the batteries as fully charged during the day.

We run a refrigerator/freezer which according to specs is 50W and .16kwh/24 hrs
We are also constantly charging a device with a 2A plug in adapter
VHF .55amp standby
Not sure what my small garmin echomap50s pulls but I'd guess 1-2amp.
The VHF and garmin are turned off at the end of the day.

I have one battery at the moment.

The attachment below is the spec sheet for the battery.
