Lake solar charging station for trolling batteries and power tool batteries for $200
#1
I was looking for an outdoor charging setup for my trolling batteries for my little bass boat and also to charge my power tool batteries.  I had extra lumber from projects and wanted a little extra covered storage under deck as well.  So I built this little enclosure and setup the solar station.  Below the pictures you will see the itemized list of things I purchased for this.  You can easily get the price down to $150 or so if you watch for sales or choose a different solar panel.  I just happened to be at a Harbor Freight store near the lake and just grabbed what they had.  I will also do a quick video later once things thaw out up there to show the exact setup.  I charge my Lifep04 batteries as well as big lead acid batteries and it only takes a minute or two to change the settings back and forth on the solar charge controller based on which battery type.
