Could I connect two of these units to the same battery bank to get 2000 watts output?

NO NOT in a SERIES to get a single 2K output.you could connect them in Parallel and have two 1 k outputs but you should think about possibly just buying a bigger unit. I am not a pro Jon and this is just my opinion.

Only to achieve 2x 1000watts. The 120vac side cannot be connected together. The outputs of the ac sinewave will not be synchronized and damage to the units and/or connected equipment would be damaged.

depends on how you disperse the load, but I'd advise you - don't do it. This is not a good product and the manufacturer does not stand behind it.
1513643
No. If you need 2000 watts you will need an inverter that puts out 2000 watts. You could connect two inverters to you batteries but not to each other.

That would be a fuzzy "Yes" these inverts can't be stacked and your "Load" would have to be diverted independently down to the 4 outlets? You'll have to stay on top of you idle time because you'll have X2 depleting your Battery Bank.

Not to power a single 2000 watt load. You cannot connect the outputs. But you can tie two inverters in parallel to the same battery bank to have two separate 1000watt, 120volt sources.

I recommend you stick with same output V as the original equipment. I don't know what you are powering up, but some circuit board items might not be able to handle the added volts.

I don't know why not, then again I am not an expert, just a home user.... I would hook them up to different battery posts though...

Hi, no. I own 2 in one space and both must plug into a power source independently.

I think so but I never tried. I have only one sb910. It says you can power 2 units.

I've heard that the controller that comes in this kit only handles a max of 60 watts. The excess is bled off. But if you get two kits and connect the two panels together, you could attach a higher wattage controller to the system. Then just use your two kit controllers as portable power sources that can be hooked up to any auto battery.

The outputs are completely separate of one-another. It's recommended that you charge each battery independently of one-another. Please let us know if you have any further questions. -ServoCity

You will need to check the max output wattage of each appliance. I run a toaster oven 1150w and a rice cooker 300w at the same time no problem. I would not push it too close to 2000w total however. Also, you may want to upgrade the diameter of the power cables especially since they only give you 3' of #3 wire and you have to connect directly to your battery. I used 8' of 1/0 cable- way overkill but better safe than sorry.

yes you can u can. google a connector that will hook 4 together.4 would only be 60 watts so 1 controller should handle it.Although u should be at least using 2 deep cycle batteries so u can pull a load up to 7 amps.

Yes, but beware, you probably want to charge more than just 1 battery, more like a small bank of batteries. For example, I have mine hooked up to a small bank of 8 SLA 12V batteries giving me about 1500 watts stored to power a 1200 W Inverter for appliances. It's like a solar powered battery pack so that I can work and have phone conversations in the most odd places (no generator noise in the background, just pure silence or nature noises, it's awesome). You'll want a decent charge controller (I bought a 10 Amp controller, which is overkill, but has the better charge-methods and pattern that I wanted). Good Luck!

I'm not sure it would transfer enough power for 2. You would not need 2 of these, as they make a dual unit.

I couldn't get mine to work. In theory, you'd need 2. You also need a power supply for each.

I would install one of these for wind and one for solar then feed the same battery bank

The quick answer is yes! However, chaining them would technically double the voltage while keeping the current (amperage) output the same. As there is only a single connector on each panel, you can only combine their outputs using a Y-adapter similar to what you have suggested. I have done this with other solar panels of this type. While the output voltage would remain the same, it should double the amount of current. I would suggest the use of a charge controller on each panel ahead of the Y-adapter to prevent backfeed and maintain a steady supply of 12V power to the device requiring power.

I'm a little unsure of your question but by "these" if you mean controllers, I would assume you have solar panels exceeding the 40 amp capacity of a single controller. I think you could connect any number of them you wanted to in parallel each controlling its own set of solar panels. At some point I suppose you could reach the limit of your battery bank's ability to accept any more current though.

It all depends on how your wires are getting the electricity from the battery bank. If you only have one battery, or one connection point to a string of batteries, you will not be able to pull the full 4000 watts the inverter is capable of doing (for a sub second). I have 8 batteries, and I connect to the inverter from 3 different points in the array of batteries, This is because each battery is only capable of producing so much power. But you need to be able to get all the batteries to put an even amount of juice to the inverter, or you will overload one or two of your batteries. If you never plan to pull more than a few hundred watts on the inverter, one cable will work fine, but if you want to draw the full 2000 watts, you will need multiple wires, in order to carry that many amps.

Yes, as long as your amperage is correct. So the 2000 W version will run 8 amps.
