Question:

I have two 6V battery set up in series. I am looking to maintain my batteries safely while ii storage under hot AZ sun for 6 -8 moths at a time. Does the solar charger on the battery box have a charge controller to prevent overcharging while storing the trailer?

If you take a look at the instructions I have linked for TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7708RS it explains that if you are using 2 batteries you will not need to use a regulator to avoid overcharging the batteries. One battery could be overcharged without using the regulator but 2 batteries is fine.
