Thanks for the input! The point here is to be able to utilize the solar panel directly for small tasks. I actually have...

Right! I am assuming the battery controller doesn't actually know what's drawing power, whether it's a drained battery or a thirsty electric blanket.

Yes. I realize the power isn't going to a battery but directly to a device, wondering if the power would still be controlled / damped down.

Do you think a cheap battery controller between the solar input and the 12V output would fix the issue?

it says maximum power voltage 22V, maximum power current 5.91A, open circuit voltage 26.4V, short circuit current 6.35A, max fuse rating 10A, maximum system voltage 6 00VDC.

I have a portable 130W solar panel with an SAE plug at the far end. What I want to do is plug this into a 12V car throw blanket (enabling me to use the blanket while the car is not running). The blanket draws about 45W. If I were to just use an SAE-female 12V wire like the one below to...

Thank you. I'm sort of confused about series and parallel. What I've got is one cable (1+ and 1- wire in one cable) coming out of the charge controller, out the side of the van and ending at an SAE connector at the panel. My thought was to basically just splice a second SAE connector into...

Hey! I have a van I use as a retreat space in my yard, and sometimes take on the road, which has a "house" battery I charge with an 85W, max 22V panel (typical polycrystalline metal frame panel). Someone has just gifted me a 130W, max 22V portable /foldable panel - so cool and tiny! This...
