I am a new user of a 70w Renogy panel with a 10amp charge controller, which I use to re-charge a 33amp deep cycle marine battery. This is used nightly to power a CPAP breathing machine at our summer house, which has no electricity. So far, even considering the overcast, rainy, Labor Day weekend, the system kept everything charged for 4 nights (battery used to last 3 nights by itself).
Is there a way of displaying how much 'juice' is actually being fed to my battery from the panel, so I will know that it is fully charged? So far, logisitcs have dictated that I unhook the battery in the evening and move it to the bedroom. I would also like to be able to charge a couple of cell phones, but not at the risk of having my battery charged.
Thanks
