Any solar panel that is rated 12 watts or higher requires the use of a charge controller. Nature Power
Solar panels and charge controllers come equipped with easy j-plug adapters. The
Amp Charge
controller is designed to protect your 12 Volt batteries from being overcharge by high voltage surges and
prevents discharging of the battery overnight. LED lights display battery "Charged" or battery "Charging".
Never deeply discharge your battery; never let your battery voltage pass below 11.0 volts. It will cause
permanent damage to the battery. Use a DMM Digital Multi-Meter to measure your battery's voltage.
When connecting and during operation it is normal for both lights to flicker for a short time.
