#grownostr #solar is a car battery considered a flooded battery with a solar charger? How do you ensure you don’t drain the battery too much? Voltage level? I have a battery Bluetooth that will tell me the charge levels. Just replaced my van battery and am using that for the battery bank solar.

Any other considerations that I should know? Thanks!

I run my gate opener with a single solar panel, car battery, and a solar charge controller. This is the one I have and it has done just fine keeping the battery from discharging too far even in the middle of winter.

OK so it’s just built into the controller when to stop using it?

Pretty sure most controllers have it built in.
