Solar Panel Help
Last year I purchased and installed a 1 watt solar panel charger/maintainer. it's adout a foot wide and 3' long. It would bring my trolling motor battery back up to almost full charge in a week between trips. The battery is a series 31or32 ??? 12V deep cycle marine battery, and about 2 yrs old. I just checked and put very little water in it to top it off and brought it to the house to charge. 84 percent of bat life remaining after @6hrs continuise use today. Now for the question how do I check the solar panel to see how much of a charge its giving the battery? Where on a meter do I set the dile to see how much it's putting out?

1Watt? That’s about 68 milliamps max. A 9V battery could put out that much power for 8 hours.
