What could be added to a setup such as you've described that would ensure the batteries don't get overcharged?

For example, if you were to leave the 3 panels connected to the batteries for a week or perhaps longer.

(I'm new, be gentle with me!)

The main reason I chose an electric model is the ability to charge via solar.

I guess once I get a meter installed to monitor the charge, it's a non issue since I can just look at the gauge.
