does it have directions to connect both solar panel &amp; batteries?

i don't remember but it's really simple.the solar panels connect to a charge controller witch connects to the battery.then the inverter red cables connect to the positive post and the black to the negative.if you are useing more than one battery parallel the batteries connect the red cables to positive on one battery and the black to negative on the oter battery and the same with the solar panels.

Yes it does. It shows the voltage from the panel(s) and also the voltage and amperage going to the batteries. As well as the State of Charge of the batteries. It's well worth the money.

No.It connects to the battery harness with the quick connect that you need to get.This is an excellence addition for usb power.

You Need A Charge Controller. Connect Your Battery And YourSolar Panel(S) To The Charge Controller.The Gauge(Thickness) Of The Wire Depends On The Distance From The Charge Controller To The Solar Panel And The Battery.You Should Be Able To Find Some Images online.

I don't think the solar batteries can be recharged that way but I'm not sure.Maybe contact the battery company and ask them.

Yes, just connect it independently to the batteries(not through the solar charge controller).

Not thru the solar port. But it comes with alligator clips and could probably connect to the red and black jumper terminals. Bryan

Yes the unit comes with its manual, if you buy it just as is you would have to connect it to a electric power source/outlet. if you buy the unit with its solar connection and battery you don't need to connect any power.

Depends if you connect the controller to the panel then you could connect it to each battery but not both at the same time.

You need to connect the panel with solar wire connectors like the MC4. You can connect to several batteries as long as they are connected with the correct voltage ie 12 or 24 volts depending on which way you go with the charge controller. Connecting 12v batteries in parallel will give you 12v. Go in series and you get 24v.

Yes. You just need to ensure that you have a cable to connect from the USB port on the solar panel to your device.

you can hook it up in junction to the battery with the solar panel but not in line or same line of the solar panel output

They are marked. The solar panel is on the left +-, the batter are middle 2 +- and the load are the right 2 +-. The KEY thing is hook up the solar panel last. It has to have batter power supplied before you connect the solar panel or it acts weird and doesn't work correctly.

I don't recall seeing any instructions. You just need to hook it up to a solar controller if you want to charge batteries. The controller will come with instructions.

Yes, gives voltage for solar output, both voltage and amps when battery mode is selected. I have nothing connected to the load terminal.

No but the top/ "solar panel" is entirely inadequate in my opinion. 8 hours in direct sunlight to charge 2 AA batteries doesn't meet my needs.

Don't think so. The negative connection for voltage and current is made at the same point in the meter. However the current from the solar panel is the same as to the battery except for the loss to power the meter which is about 15 to 20 milliampere with the display on. Just hook it across the battery and subtract the 20 milliamperes.
