would this charge a 12v Rv battery and could we run a tv off of this??What else would i need to accomplish this???

If the wind is strong enough for long enough. If you have a 12v TV, you could attach it directly to your battery. If you have a 120v TV you will need an inverter rated a little higher than you TV. You will need to do some math to determine your battery size and the length of time it will take to charge the batter. So, assuming your TV takes 150W of power and you want to watch it for 1 hour, you need a 150WH battery. The turbine will take about 15 hours of continuous wind to store that much energy in your battery (150WH/10W). If you use an inverter assume about 10-15% loss to the inverter. This means about 55 minutes of watching instead of an hour. If the wind is strong enough for long enough. If you have a 12v TV, you could attach it directly to your battery.

It will charge 12V battery and it will depend on the size of the battery if it will be able to power tv. Thanks.

This coverter WILL NOT WORK for a 110- 120 volt TV.If the TV is designed to run on 12 volts, or 9 volts anddraws less than 2 amps, then yes.( it should do the Job)

No, you provide a 12v battery source. It would probably run for a long time on this battery, and you can get a cheap trickle charger to charge it: UPG UB1280I Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

you can akk the company that sells it and they will answer you. i would think it should work as long as the amps are correct, and i don't remember what the amps are. i use it to turn on/off a single 12volt light in a camping trailer

most RV's have a built in converter that converts AC to 12 volt,so hooked to shore power or not it works.

Yes. Whether buying the complete unit or the power supply insert and installing the insert, the completed unit has the capability to both charge the RV battery automatically and provide 12 volt power to RV accessories. I assume the original power supply was set up by the RV manufacturer to do both.

Sorry, I can't see how that could possibly work as this device charges AA and AAA sized batteries from a standard 125VAC outlet/power source. I have no idea what would happen if you connected and 12VDC battery or solar panel to it, but I'd bet that it wouldn't be good. A better idea would be to find a small 12VDC to 125VAC inverter to connect your solar panel to, and plug this charger into the inverter. Yet another idea, see if Duracell, Energizer, or any aftermarket manufacturer actually make an automotive/12VDC charger. Good luck.

Probably not. Your battery pack is giving you 10 watts peak, Your charger needs 9.6 watts. This requires the converter to be 96% efficient. It probably can't make this. Do you know if your 12v device really does need a full 0.8A? Is is that just the max rating of the charger you are trying to replace?

The problem is this power supply output needs to be at least two volts higher than the input. If are charging the battery your voltage is 14.4 volts. This TV should work direct connected.

I think so...I hooked it to a video display monitor in my RV. It just uses RCA connections to hook up so if you have a yellow AUX Video Input you should be fine. You'll still need to power the camera too.

I don't understand the reason why so many people are so concerned about having to purchase a device that will hold throw-away alkaline batteries. From what I understand this TV will work when plugged into a car cig. lighter socket (or D.C. plug). If this is the case, getting a 12 v car battery and hooking up a power plug to it via alligator clamps will power the TV for an extended time...possibly for days ! The car battery can also be recharged simply by running the engine.

I'm going to assume it's a standard 120v television, so you will have to power an inverter to get the 12v DC up to 120v AC. You have some loss in that process. The basic math is battery voltage x battery Ah so 12x35=420 wh. watt hours. That will run 420 watts for 1 hour, 210 watts for 2 hours etc. In theory. But you never want to drain your batteries below a certain point. I've been warned not to discharge batteries more than 50%. Plus the loss from the inverter, lines etc. You would be looking at 6 batteries just for this simple math not even taking into account the discharge factor. If I'm wrong on any of this someone please point it out.

sure. why not? you just need a 12 volt power supply for it, and the right sized cutout in the roof. make sure you can seal it well with roof sealant from an RV supplier.

If you have a 12V outlet (like in your RV or car), you can certainly connect this to the 12V supply. I think everything is pointing out that your electrical outlet inside your house is 120V AC. And you can't plug this directly into that socket, but I think you already know that.

I would recommend getting a electrical charger. This one is more for something that you don't drive very often like a atv or a lawnmower. This only being 2.4 watts, isn't powerful enough to charge a car battery. It's really just for maintaining. I bet it would take a long time to fully charge a car battery.

Should work if you wire it properly see the following web page on how to wire two 6 volt batteries to equal a 12 volt battery. As the Panel is strictly for charging 12 volt Batteries. you have to make it think the two 6 volts are a 12 volt battery. http://www.solarrvpanels.com/index.php/wiring-rv-batteries-properly/
