Battery charging with solarpanels and outlet.

Botdocter

Hello everyone,

i have 2x 6V 2ah sealed lead acid batteries.
They come with 2 solarpanel chargers.

Now i wany to put the batteries in serie.
So i have 12V to run my propeller robot controll board.

Now i need the most simple charging system that i can use for both the outlet, aswell as the solarpanels.
The solarpanels are 15V each.

Any ideas?

It would be better to move this to the Sandbox or Robotics threads. You might get more action there.
