Using a resettable fuse/circuit breaker. The idea is that if the current goes up past a maximum limit, the circuit breaker activates and stops the charging. You would then have to wait for the batteries to be charged by other means, before connecting the circuit again and hoping the current draw is now within the limit.

6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar panel voltage and current limiting”
What is the difference between power limit and current Lim?
Power Limit – limits the inverter maximum output power. The power limit can be set to any value between 0-100 [% of nominal active power]. Current Lim – Current Limit: limits the inverter's maximum output current (available from inverter CPU version 2.549).
How many volts can a 20W solar panel run?
I have two 20W solar panels (each Voc = 22.3, Isc = 1.22) in series connected directly to an axial fan driven by an EC motor (rated voltage 48V). Here the maximum operating voltage when very sunny has been about 43 V. This configuration has worked well in the past but I need a bit more airflow.
What is a maximum AC current limit on an inverter?
The current limit can be set to any value between 0 and the inverter's max AC current (the LCD will allow setting to a higher value but the inverter will never exceed its maximum AC current). Wakeup Grad – Wakeup Gradient: enables gradual power production when it begins operation after a fault or an inverter reset.
How much power does a solar panel use?
Use of a non-switching regulator, a nominally 3.6V battery (4.2V absolute maximum) and up to 930 mA at 6.6V panel output. Charging the battery at 3.6V mean, 4.2V max will utilise about 55% of the peak PV energy on average and about 60% when the battery is fully charged (but not much energy is required).
What is current Lim – current limit?
Current Lim – Current Limit: limits the inverter's maximum output current (available from inverter CPU version 2.549). The current limit can be set to any value between 0 and the inverter's max AC current (the LCD will allow setting to a higher value but the inverter will never exceed its maximum AC current).
Should I install more 'theoretical' solar power?
Providing these 2 criteria are satisfied, then you can basically install as much 'theoretical' PV power as you want. More PV power is great for overcast days, as you can still have decent solar yield when the solar conditions are unfavorable. Under good conditions the extra power just won't be utilized.
