Watt Solar Panel
September 22nd, 2007
Using 5 watt solar panel for my FM200 Mighty Mule opener, what size battery do I use?
I am going to use a 5 watt solar panel for my Mighty Mule FM200 gate opener, the instructions read that I can use a car, lawn etc battery but it neglects to read what size battery to use. What is the best size to use for this install. I saw a 750 CCA in a video online but that seems overkill for a 5 watt solar panel.
750 cold cranking amps may be just a 100 amp-hour battery. And even so, you would not want to draw the charge down below 80% during the day of heaviest activity. So a car battery is about right.
If you live in Arizona, maybe you can go smaller, 50 AH sealed lead-acid.
