Question:

I already have a Bright Way Solar Battery Charger - 7.5 Watt Solar Panel Item # BRW54FR wired to the battery. Would wiring BRW77fr to the battery at the same time cause any issues?

The problem to watch out for, is not the voltage, it's the current (cfm). If your battery recommends 30a max charge current and both of your chargers are rated at 15a, you're good to use them both at the same time. If your chargers are both 30a units, then you could damage your battery. Since both the Solar # BRW54FR and wall charger # BRW77FR are 7.5 Watts I don't see there being an issue. The wall charger has a cut off when the batter is fully charged and the solar will maintain the the batteries charge too. Since they are so low of an output I don't see there being an issue.
