can i use this to charge and maintain my battery bank 2 6volt 220ah deep cycle batts wired in series ( 12v total )

2 6volt batteries is still 6 volts. I don't think this charger will work for you, there are some dual 6/12 volt chargers, but I think this charger is just 12 volt.

Two 6V wired in series is 12V not 6V, and yes it will. "Per Customer Service Baccus Global, LLC the unit will operate at 12V with two 6V batteries with the same capacity."

Yes of course, that is exactly what the 12v output is for. However, it is only 4 amps so it would take a while. Also, it has no smart limit or anything so it will be able to overcharge the battery bank.I would recommend using a standard 120v AC charger plugged into the normal AC outlet of the generator. It will charge faster and safer.That said, the answer is yes.

Yes,if you hook up two 6 volt batteries in series you will double the voltage to 12 volts and keep the amperage the same. + to - and -to +. Connecting the same batteries in parallel + to + and - to - gives you 6 volts but doubles the amperage. So if you connect them in series the 12 volts will be charged with any 12 volt charger. Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I wanted it to be clear. Good luck.

You would have to put 4 batteries in series and all would have to be in about the same condition--not an optimal method. you would be better off putting two 6 volt batteries in series on a 12V charger

It is not recommended to daisy chain deep cycle batteries when charging. It is my understanding that if one of the batteries fails it will draw down the others.

I don't think that will work. I charge the batteries with a standard outlet. Hope that helps.

I have charged 3 12 volt batteries hooked up in series with this. It works fine. It is best if you make sure that the charge is balanced across the 3 batteries to start with.

Yes. You will need a 12 volt charge control box also. You shouldn't wire directly to the battery/batteries

Don't connect the BM to a battery bank that is wired in series to produce 48V. Your options are to separate the batteries from each other and charge them individually with the BM or disconnect them from the system and then wire them in parallel for charging with the BM. Both of these options might be a lot of work to accomplish the proper charging of your battery bank.

if you have 12v batteries in series your adding to the voltage therefore your batteries together are 24v not 12 anymore. if they are in parallel then you will still have 12v just double your amp hours. this charger says its for 12v only i wouldn't recommend it.

You will need about 300Ah worth of batteries with a 400w system asuming 50% Depth of Discharge. So if this is for a 12v system you can use 2 x 6v, 300Ah batteries in series.

This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long. I use this with a bank of 4 marine batteries at 220ah each in my bus and it is good enough for about 12 hours using lights, TV, Radio, and mini fridge. Most people use 6v golf cart batteries. You can wire 2 together in series to make 12v, and then you can wire sets of 2 in parralell to increase amp hours (how long they last. The other thing to consider is a means of charging the battery when not in use. If you are using a single battery, a 6 amp "smart" multi-stage charger should be fine. I use a 45amp-maxx 4 stage smart charger from Go Power. Works great! This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long.

Yes, you can. But you need to be aware of problems that may arise from overcharging your car battery. This is designed more for short term charging where you won't leave the panel/kit connected for more than 24 hours. Ideally one should not charge a battery for more than 12 hours. It is safe for a 10 amp charge for that time frame on vehicle batteries. Smaller batteries like atv or motorcycle batteries should get 2 amp for 1-2 hours. Make sure your water levels are up before charging. Also, if you are storing a battery for extended periods of time, charge it every 3 months. Once the charge is less than 12.6 on a 12 volt battery, they start to degrade. This reduces the life of the battery as well as the true cranking power. The safest bet for long-term charging is to use a charge controller which will monitor the voltage of the battery and maintain the proper levels. Something like this would work great: http://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Controller-12-Volt-Battery-Monitor/dp/B000P696QS

not a matter as you will need extra charger of 5v and 1A output and 220V or 110v is the charger input matter not the power bankbut please be informed that the mentioned power banck is not 20000mA it's actual 6000mA and it's not as described and 20000mA is falseI don't recommend this product to you.

Should work.But i suggest to find 24v DC - AC inverter and hook it directly to your batteries. Converting from 24V to 12V and then to AC voltage is not efficient at all.

Yes you can use a converter 12 v.I have a bank of batteries and a converter 12 v., 1200 wat and works perfectly. Consumes about 300 wat

Yes it will work. I'm using two 100 watt panels wired in series to get 24 volts running to the charge controller and then to my 12 volt battery bank. works great. You'll have have less resistance from the panel to the controller in 24 volts as well.
