Right, so like other guys said, sunlight should be enough to produce the needed current for the converter to do its job.
I figure I could have a meter after the panel, to know when to turn on the set up, if having the controller permanently connected causes any damage. So, question: Does leaving the converter permanently connected, with or without attached load on the output, reset/damage the controller or burn/damage something?
BTW. I'm reading all these comments, and a used cheap car battery seems like the way to go given the extremely low loads I have to supply. That and a charge controller, of course. But I still appreciate all the info you guys can provide on these little DC-DC converters. Thanks.
