Ray, Timing is everything. I wish they had been around 5 years ago. My golf cart that has been plug in free for 5 years could have used that. Guess I continue with the 3 Sunwize 80 watt panels. I was having trouble finding a good outdoor charge controller until Midnite came out with the BRAT. Just hooking that up now to prevent overcharging.
