I use a solar panel that puts out up to 22V at times to charge my lead acid battery - will that high voltage affect this battery?

the best way to get an answer to this question is to go to the battery tender site and they will be able to give you a correct answer

Yes it will affect it. Your charger would have to be a 12 Volt DC only. Best charger would be a trickle charger like a Battery Tender or Schumacher or other brand charger but not a 22 Volt charger. Hope that helps.

Hi Miguel.. I don't know why do yo want solar battery charger with so powerful device (65w).. Maybe you know that sun never'll charge fully your wanted device.. I recommend you for this purpose this item: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E36E86Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=I3WDC9N7TJ9U&coliid=I9MHGSUOSV86A It has output voltage as you want (19V and max 3.5A of current).. I think it will helps you..

I assume you're talking about over charging the battery when plugged into your 110VAC. The answer is yes, the built-in charging circuit will give a high bulk charge when you first plug it in. When the battery is about 95% charged it switches to a float charge which slowly brings the battery up to full cheveryonearge (about 13.5 VDC) it then switches to a trickle charge which continually charges the battery. If the voltage of the battery drops more than 1/2 a volt the charger turns on, when it reaches ful voltage it shuts off.

I've seen this question before and found one particular answer/response very helpful- the charging system of the vehicle you are putting it in used to charge a lead acid battery did it not? I use a solar NOCO trickle charger on mine. NOCO Battery Life BLSOLAR5 5 Watt Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer

The float voltage is 13.6v, it will charge higher for short bursts but will settle in at 13.6v when battery is fully charged. Hope this helps.

In short, no. The charge controller is always monitoring and regulating the charge between the battery and the panel. If you properly size your system, the miniscule amount of power leached by this charger should never negatively effect your bottom line battery power.

I'm using this controller to charge a bank of 4 12 volt batteries and my solar panel is rated at 30 watts and 17.5 volts. It seems to be working fine but I don't know if the controller lists any maximum input voltage or not. One would think it would be capable of handling a wide range of voltage just because of the nature of most solar panels but that is simple logic and simple logic doesn't always apply.

You should NOT use a automobile or motorcycle charger that is specific to Lead/Acid batteries! They can cause damage to the batteries because they charge in a different way than a specific Lifepo4 Lithium Charger. They often have a Desulfinate feature or over voltage "Quick Charging" feature... both of which will damage the Antigravity Battery. Lead Acid charges in many case will overcharge a lithium battery ending up in damage which is not covered under warranty.

It charge for 12V Lead-acid batteries.Maximum charge voltage about 14.8V.Maximum charge current is 25A.( Charge current is limited by the voltage(14.8V) and 25A.)

I would say YES! This charger is extremely versatile and its charge cycle includes a "rejuvenation" mode that will desulphite cells in lead acid batteries such as typically used for your solar array which is a extremely handy function. Due to its charge modes you should have no problems with ANY Lead Acid battery no matter what size. Using it at night when you are running a generator should significantly increase the lifetime of your main battery bank (one 12 Volt battery at a time and rotating through multiple batteries one at a time) Occasionally, after charging, I like to jostle the battery I just charged to allow any loose scale to fall to the bottom of the battery.

Yes; in full sun one of these 15w panel will produce well over 800 milli amps close to 1 amp. 2 panels like these will double the charge rate and so on. My one panel easily maintains and keeps two 105 amp hour 12v deep cycle flooded batteries fully charge to over 12.6v month after month with about 6-8 hrs of full sun.

I used a volt meter and it went into float of 14.2V and dropped to 13.2 and went back to 14.2 and again dropped to 13.2V. That seems to be the float cycle. It did charge the battery for awhile with a slow rise before it went into float. I was using a 30W Renogy mono solar panel. I have 2 of these and they both work as described. I would not leave them on once the battery is full, and it goes into float, for too long. Batteries can be overcharged. I hope this helps, I did a review on youtube with the 30 W panel, showing the float.

The answer is Yes as long as the folding-style solar panel is delivering between 15 to 20 V. The folding solar panel that I have develops about 19V at sun and it is able to charge the Mp-s23000. Folding solar panels are equipped with regulator that stops current to go in the reverse way in the case sun is missing and voltage drops under 15 V.

"will this charge sealed lead acid batteries?"Yes, and the charger is low amp and designed to "not boil out" the battery. I liked the 300A so much I also bought the 200A that also charges 6 volt batts quickly at a 4 amp rate-good if you own golf carts!Hope that helpshaXor

That distance is too long for the Renogy folding solar panel. The reason is that on the folding unit, the charge controller is mounted to the panel itself and the voltage loss from the charge controller to the battery over a long cable is too high. Most deep cycle batteries need 14.4 to 14.8 volts to charge properly in the bulk charging phase and the absorption charging phase. The last tenth of a volt is very important for charging. My solution was to remove the charge controller from the solar panel, mount it near my battery, and run a heavy cable from the panel to the charge controller. This reduces line losses because the panel runs at 17 volts on average, compared to 14.4 or 14.8 for the charge controller output. Higher voltage reduces electrical transmission losses..

According to the manufacturer, no because the power output level should not affect the battery. However, the dead panel ended up draining my battery.

The mfg would be able to answer that. We used it for flooded lead acid, the results were of no value. 6 out of 10 times it would fail new batteries .
