Do you have a solar charge controller? ?It doesn’t sound like it. ?15V is bad for the battery. ?It will cook it and will shorten it’s overall life.

I added a small solar panel to my 12v 7ah battery. Under direct sunlight, my battery voltage reads 15v and steadily drops to 13.2-14v in the shade.

My question, is it safe to use the radio under these voltages without a certain mod, ie, bigger heatsink, or am I good to go?
