Dennis, I have in fact the exact charger you suggested, with the Charge Wizard. The one thing I noticed is that when connected to the battery but no 110 v ac going to the charger I still had the LED on the Wizard illuminated. And you are confirming my suspicion that both the solar controller and the charger can be connected at the same time. Thanks |
