I added a second 12v 100 AmpHr battery in parallel to see how it would charge, and it is doing a good job of charging and maintaining the batteries so far, even in Kentucky's solar average of 4.5 sun hours per day. ... The other way I have it connected, is to a 300watt mini Grid Tie inverter and a watt meter from the charge controllers 12v output. ... "
