Hi Surfy,
As I have found many of your posts usefull to me, I thought you may benefit from a little advice.
1) I would not concider anything other than an mppt charger
2) Solar panel must always be connected with correct cable
Polar Wire Products Prebuilt Solar Panel Interconnection Cables
3) Unless you just want to recharge your phone,112W is nowhere near enough power and don't think that 112w panel will give you 112w, more like 25w. 112w quote acheivable under lab conditions only.
4) DO NOT waste your money on cheap chinese brands. They are VERY inefficient and fragile so will not last long on a vehicle. Also, make sure the output voltage of the panel can be input on to the solar controller without exceeding the max controller voltage input. My panel is bolted flat to the roof rack Sanyo panel (read up on flat mountedt efficiency)
Bought from these people ( import for me, just down the road for you) Panasonic / Sanyo 240W HIT PV Panel
Solar Charger (Note the open circuit voltage rating of 75v)
