Using Radio Shack 1.8Watt Solar Panel to Maintain Battery

[Neil P]

Was thinking of using the 1.8 watt, 125 mA solar charger to maintain a
115 ah deep cycle battery. Is this practical? Since the current is so
low I figure I don't need a regulator. I am just looking for a low cost
method of maintaining the batteries. System is set up to feed an
inverter for occasional power outages.

Thanks,
Neil
