Anybody charge their deep cycle batteries using solar power? I've heard that you can use solar power to recharge your electric motor (deep cycle) batteries. Seems that this would be great for those of us who use our trolling motors a lot. Any information about this will be appreciated (how to, where to buy the equipment, that sort of stuff). Thanks

There are now several solar charging sysyems, including a model that can charge at a couple amps even while using the motor. Does anyone have information on models and brands?

I talked to the Reps from Batteries Plus, Inc. at the Madison Fishing Expo, who seemed to have a pretty nice system.
