appreciate the response. Re the input overload, suspect you are right. Re the separate controller, might it be able to reduce the input reaching the battery to something within the acceptable range? is there anything else that can be done to limit the panel output reaching the battery?
Total amateur here so go easy on me. I have a 500WH portable battery (ecoflow river 2 max). I also have a pair of solar panels (specifically these ones). The panels come with a charge controller.
My objective is to use the panels to charge the battery if possible.
The battery solar input spec...
