Default Solar recharger

Thank you muchly sir!! Rich could I ask you another unrelated question to
the charger Q? You know those low voltage garden lights that have a
transformer? (120 v down to 12 v) My question is; what is the difference
of burning a 20 watt halogen
12 volt light bulb as compared to burning a 20 watt 120 volt light bulb?

a 15 watt solar charger


If you used the battery you're charging to run a clock radio or something,
it might be enough. For a trolling motor battery, a 15 watt charger is a
joke. A typical 10 amp charger uses about 200 watts on the input side to
produce about 150 on the output side.
