Can i use this kit to hook to my Toyota Corolla 99 battery directly? To prevent my car battery from discharging when i am not driving it often.

I believe it would work just fine and it comes with voltage regulator. An inexpensive battery charger would work also if you keep the car near an electrical outlet.
1988783
Yes. I use it to charge/maintain a car battery everyday. It might recharge a battery but it would take a long time if it was discharged.
1988784
I use a heavy duty car battery with my 12v power inverter and so far it has keep the battery charged.I am very happy with mine.
1988785
Yes you can... I would place the panel on the dash and install a cigarette lighter adapter to the charge controller.
1988786
Yes, I have a motorcycle battery, it is always fully charged. Just clips onto terminals. It is hooked up to a meter and works right up till sun sets.

I'm using it for that purpose on my old Subaru. It comes with a small charge regulator to properly charge 12 volt batteries.

The Deltran trickle charger comes with battery clips. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me to just connect a small battery to your car battery without some kind of regulator in between. You can get trickle chargers from many places.

Yes you can. We have included alligator clips that will attach directly to your cars battery for just this reason.

Your car has to be able to charge the battery that way so i'd check your owners manual just to be safe if you havent already. but we had a Toyota Prius and the ignition battery died so bought this and a quick jump kit. we jumped it from the cig lighter anytime the car wouldn't start. we never left it plugged in longer than to start the car. hope this helps!

The system comes set up to plug into the cigarette lighter, you can hook straight to the battery with the adapter which comes with the set. Remember this is a slow trickle charge system. It will not keep up with normal draw on a system in use.

Yes, you can hook the 2 6v batteries in series to the inverter, that's what I did. The solar kit is going to be independent as long as it comes with a 12v charge controller. *Note you should only run your batteries down more than 50% in an emergency, that will shorten their life span of the batteries. A 1500 watt inverter maybe a little over kill matched a 95 watt solar kit. You need a bigger solar kit, or just buy and second one. I started with 2 (100) watt panels and plan to add to them.

The wattage of this unit is too low to charge a completely dead battery. It will only maintain a battery that is already charge,preventing your battery from getting drained even when parked for sometime.

It would matter what fuse you hook it up if it would stay on with the car off. Mine is hook up to the same circut as the cigarette lighter. It uses so little power it would take week for it would take weeks to kill the battery.

Physically connect yes. Logically no. Concern would be the fuse amperage overload (in series) and if your ciggy lighter is always closed so your battery receives a charge when ignition is turned off. It looks good physically but logics meant it likely won't work out a DA boxette.

If you hook it up right it will work fine. I am very happy with the one I installed in my Toyota. It charges both batteries when the engine is running and automatically seperates them when you turn the engine off. If you do not set it up to that way and you forget to turn off the solinoid, you can ruin both batteries.

Sure is, several ways you can do this basically i'd grab one of these http://goo.gl/s3luSY with this u can use cigarette lighter plug .. or cut the cig lighter plug part off, shore the wires and use either alligator clips or an extended piece of wire if necessary and connect directly to your battery just dont get the + and - wrong. Hope this helps somewhat. - Steve

No, it wouldnt suppot that kind of draw. You need it to be in loop to the tracker but fused from the car side so if it is per say stolen and positive grounds to negative that fuse (car side) will short out and not the (gps tracker side fuse) this way it will still provide powet to the GPS tracker. The battery must be directly connected to GPS tracker but also follow the diagram so the battery will remain charged from the cars charging system.

You can hook direct off battery if that is easier for you, the small amp draw would be no drain on battery. Make sure you have a on/ off switch. It would be recommended to install a fusible link in the live wire, you can buy these links anywhere automotive acc are sold. Just a length of wire wirh a spot to insert say a 15 amp square fuse.

You can hook up kore than 1 battery. You can also use car batterries but the performance will be significantly better with deep cycle batteries.

That is what we purchased it for, however I'm not sure if it every car works that way, you should check your manual. We have a Prius and the ignition battery died so we used this and a jump start rechargable battery kit to start the car.

This battery pack could be used as the "source" for some "jump-start" devices that use the lighter outlet for connecting the cars together. However I'll add a few comments about using those lighter connected "jump-start" devices. First, several such devices like the Wagan Jumper item 9796 will draw more power than they deliver to "pump" the power, thus they waste some of the energy being transfered. Also they only work if you have a good battery in the car that accidentally got drained, so if the car battery won't hold enough of a charge to start the car, you'll never get going from the "trickle charge" they provide. Those also can take 15-30 minutes to give you enough charge to start, so don't be expecting to plug it in and 30 seconds later to be turning the key to start. Speaking of the key, you also need to have the key in the "accessories" position while charging the car so the lighter is connected to the battery in the car, but you're not draining power with the cars engine computer running like while in the "on" position. So with all of those issues, most don't like those lighter "jump-start" devices (look at the reviews of such), but that doesn't mean they don't work for some.
