Hi. First post.
I bought some land in NH last year and have set up three small solar systems for different purposes. My most recent is to run a DSL modem/WiFi router off a 12v 100Ah battery. Before I got the modem I figured I'd need the typical battery/controller/inverter setup, but since the modem has an AC->DC brick I thought I could leave the inverter out altogether. The output on the brick is 12v/1amp. So my question is can I just cut the cable to the brick and hook it to the load terminals on the charge controller, or should I go through a DC to DC converter/regulator between the controller and modem? I have a RCA AH765R Auto Adapter.
(I will add a vent to the box before connecting the solar panels for charging).
Thanks!
Paul
