My batteries were fully recharged around noon after being used most of night for heat. Heater (propane with 12V fan) turned on at 1 AM and ran about 1/2 the time until about 7 AM.
Outside temp got into the 30s.
And would hate to buy something off the internet that would fall short of my situation. Maybe a video would have helped showing deep cycle battery being charged with regular battery charger plugged into the controller or a live demonstration from a salesmen

I'm use to plugging in 2 battery charges

At the same time a 6amp and a 10amp and charging two batteries at once. And don't solar panels use a battery to store power that eventually goes bad.

The devil makes work of idle hands ✋
I'd show you some more pictures of the latest up grades
But getting the security token notice and won't download
In and out at the launching ramp
And a whole lotta fish dinners since 2010

Honestly if you had to send the night 🌙

On the water 💧where would you want to be, excluding a boat 🚢. Sitting in a kayak with a wet butt.
Stting in a kayak with a lawn chair.
Or laying down in a canoe. I used to take after noon naps

The controller goes straight to your battery. No extra charger needed. No gas, no fumes, no neighbors complaining about generator noise.
