Charge Controllers Explained

Solar panels produce DC power but if you want your battery to last that power needs to be the approriate voltage. The charge controller regulates the DC power to the 12V range so your battery can safely and efficiently charge.

DC-DC Chargers Explained

Your alternator produces DC power. It’s important this power is in the right volrage (~12V) so your battery can charge. It’s also important your house battery isn’t pulling too much power, which can burn out your alternator and leave you stranded.
