around .5 amps (it's more like a dynamo)
2 watts
i was looking for a boost converter, although when i started the thread, i didn't know of the exsistance.
there is also the fact that i am using this to power a PWM motor controller, which has rheostatic braking (if i remember correctly, it will also put power back in)
i found this, same as the other one, but with float function: **broken link removed**
i i use this, then it will enable me to use a 'shore supply' (a disconnect-able transformer unit powered by mains supply, when there is no sun or not in use due to rain or other reasons).
