Suitcase Solar Set Up
Has anyone used a Suitcase solar charger for your batteries?
I am currently looking at the Renogy 200 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Foldable Solar Suitcase for my 2 Battleborn 100amp 12v Lithium batteries.
What kind of success have you had?
Thanks in advance.

One advantage with the suit case style is you can easily move it into the sun.

Is your battery a Lithium? How fast will it charge the battery from 50% to full?

If my 2 batteries are connected in parallel, where do you attach the Solar panels Red hot clip and the Black clip to the batteries?
I'm assuming the Red lead is on one battery and the Black lead is on the other.
As you can tell from this dumb question I have never done this before.
Thanks in advance.

The trailer. You have two batteries in parallel. Battery two's positive is connected to battery one's positive, battery one's positive is connected to the coach. The battery two's positive connection is where you want to put the positive side of the charging input (regardless of what it is, charger, solar, generator, etc.).
Same thing on the negative side. Battery two's negative in connected to battery one's negative, battery one's negative is connected to the coach. The battery one's negative connection is where you want to put the negative side of the charging unit.
Make sense?
