Yes to an extent with respect to voltage will be regulated, but not current. What you are talking about is a MPPT Charge Controller where Output Current = Panel Wattage / Battery voltage. So armed with that info you automatically know that Battery Voltage x Current = Wattage. So armed with that info how much panel wattage does it take to generate a C/10 charge current on a 12 volt 225 AH battery? 12 volts x 22.5 amps = 270 watts.
FWIW none of that applies to a PWM Controller because with any PWM controller Input Current = Output Current. So to generate 22.5 amps with a PWM controller we have to use standard Battery Panels which have a Vmp of 18 volts. So 18 volts x 22.5 amps = 405 watts to do what a 270 watt panel using MPPT.
In either case the charge current is determined by panel wattage.

If you have high voltage and low amperage coming from your PV array, won't a charge controller regulate it so that the battery is charged correctly? Assuming that the charge controller is programmed to the correct type of battery.Leave a comment:

Yes you can and you should be charging at about 20-23ALeave a comment:

Charging 6 volt batteries in series
Can I use a 12 volt charger for this application? I will be running 2 Trojan T105 225AH batteries. At what amperage should I charge them at? Thanks!
