I am leaving on a big camping trip and hope my solar (2 x 100W) works!! 

Just to be sure - when connecting - BATTERY to the controller first? And when disconnecting, PANEL off first? 

Thanks!

    For almost all controllers--That is the correct order (battery first to connect, battery last to disconnect).
