@ganjafarmer I finally got that new MPPT charge controller today and tested it with that repaired panel on both a 12 volt battery and a 24 volt battery bank. It worked fantastically! The image below is from when I was testing it charging the 24 volt battery bank. Do not be confused by the AC outlet and plugs I use them all the time for DC wiring because they are cheap and easy to find at local hardware stores and they work just fine for my purposes.

Awesome.....!!!!!!
Thanks @annephilbrick! I am glad that you enjoyed it!
Yeah his little setup is pretty cool and for way less than my system. Although I did get my battery in trade...

Sweet. That's awesome. Charge everything and now total power grid.
Next up is more batteries inverter and charging other stuff.
Pretty much every electronic device I got is topped off regularly.
Awesome seeing that. No power issues anymore. Besides getting more batteries. I'm going to expand to the old van battery. Extra wiring and some upgrades are coming for me.
Killer! Off grid living is easy.
Oh and now led lighting is on the list for me too!

I am glad your setup is working out so well @ganjafarmer! I do have a few small inverters but I just do not use them very often. I definitely need to get more and better batteries but I am making do as things are now. Cheers and have a great day!
Well having inverters and something to work with now definitely is worth keeping it around

The inverters are a nice extra but really I try to keep everything DC power for the sake of efficiency. The inverters also tend to be noisy!
