Protect battery and charge controller from weather

Post by joeh » Sat Nov 02, 2013 9:55 am

I currently have the Harbor Freight 45W solar kit and I want to leave the charge controller connected all the time. I am considering using a storage bin that you can pick up at Walmart to keep the battery and charge controller in to protect from rain and snow. I don't have a shed yet so thought this would be ok for the time being. Any thoughts or better solutions?

Thanks in advance!
