I was given a solar panel from a friend of mine with no label, so I don’t have any specifications. I’m using the panel on my hunting blind, so my set up it’s not a critical one. I just want to be able to charge my phone, power a fan, cell phone booster and and few 12 volt lights. I really just need it to keep my battery charged while I’m not there. That being said, I bought a cheap 60 amp solar charge controller that can handle 100 volts, because my solar panel puts out around 40 volts in direct sunlight. I connected everything this weekend and at first, it seemed to be working fine. Then the LCD screen was showing full panel voltage. I’m not sure if this is normal or is there something wrong with the controller or the panel. I’m using a 12 volt AGM battery. I’m posting a video of the controller when I first hooked it up and another one after it was connected for a while. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
