[QUOTE="bicter, post: 520399, member: 1240"] No question is dumb. The answer is that it shouldnt cause a failure and the controller will only deliver its rated current maximum. One thing that will assist you is to get an inline wattmeter same as that Nightjar has purchased(discussed in another thread, [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=31974&p=9[/url] ). This will enable you to determine the amphours being provided into the battery, and also to measure power used by fridge, to determine if your system is sized correctly. One thing that you may have missed in your calculation is the number of sun hours available in your location. Also check that your solar panel isnt being shaded by a branch or from an aerial on roof.
