    What is everyone going with for a company on these? I like Renogy but all I see is complaints on Facebook, Instagram all the time. And their eBay page is of nothing but tons of negative reviews. Just looking for a reputable system to keep my second battery in the bed all charged up.

    I've been looking into this and found this youtuber that is pretty transparent and honest about everything Solar. Here's a video of him comparing the top rated ones on Amazon against each other; I think the Rich Solar was the best performing for the money.

    I'm just looking at the Renogy Facebook, Instagram and eBay page. Way to much negative press for me

    also have to take into consideration the number f people buying each vs reviews. 10k people buy renogy say and only 3k buy the other the number of possible reviews is greater regardless. do what is most comfortable for you. just make sure regardless that you connect it correctly i see a lot of people wire them wrong or hook power up in the wrong order and ruin things
