I need the help of the experts here on the forums. Let's say I have a device (to keep things CPF style, let's call it a light) that has a 12VDC current draw spec'd at 277mA. I'd like to have a solar panel to run it during the day and charge a battery that would be capable of running it at night. It probably won't be used all night, but it needs to be capable.
What would you recommend as far as batteries and electronics to make this happen? I'm assuming the solar panel will need some sort of voltage regulator to keep things on the level - both for battery charging and operation of the "light" during the day.
