For a small battery, a panel rated at 5 watts can just barely do the job a moderate sun area. If a dark gloomy area - like many places on the east and west coast - you need more.
Here in New York, I use several - and a 15 watt panel works well, all winter, with no controller.
As you probably aleady know, Volkswagen was giving them away (with new cars) and they plugged into the cigarette lighter. They sell outright for around $50 for a 2 watt model, and $100 for a 6 watt. The larger 6 watt is needed unless you live in a very bright area.
