BP-500 In Action


 

Hi everyone,

Here's some pictures that I took with my solar panel connected directly to the BP-500 without a charge controller. ?This is so cool!!! ?Notice the charge voltage at 29v. ?Connecting a solar panel directly to a radio with this much voltage would smoke the radio. ?Thanks LAB599 for building in a solar charge controller!!!!!

Excellent pictures and comments, David! Could I particularly ask members in the UK for any recommendations on solar panel models, and of suppliers?
