Nice setup man, those connectors between your battery / panel and charge controller are called SAE 2 connectors. I have that same charge controller, works pretty good.....The pwm mode helps to condition the battery. I started out with a battery that would hold 12.7 volts (overnight). After the addition of that controller, it holds a little over 13 volts.

Keep up the good work!

Very nice little solar setup young man, keep upgrading and learning as you go along. I got 4 of those same panels, and i believe they are rated at 15 watts each. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
