That's my understanding, too. The rated power is an ideal peak output, not an average over some period. Observations by RV owners are consistent with that - no one ever sees the peak output, but the...

As a "battery minder" it is presumably designed for very low power. The small-gauge wires to the panel as chosen for minimum cost, and are adequate because current is low (a "trickle" charge). The...
