If I don't have a 24 volt battery, can i put 2 12 volt batteries in series to make 24 volts?

yes that is correct. If you connect two 12v batteries in series end result will be one battery bank of 24v. When charging batteries - use of a charge controller is highly recommended.

for sure. or you can use a controller that changes it back to 12 volt. controller is key either way

Yes if you wire them correctly u can do that. There are different ways to connect the batteries. But are you using 24v. Most low voltage is 12v. Im no expert or electrician. Just based on experience

Depends on the voltage that you want to set up your battery for. A 12VDC battery, you can get away with 2 safely, 3 pushing it. For a 24VDC battery, you can handle 5 panels. You need to include all information in the question for a definate answer, but this is what you wanted.

Do not hook up to 24 volts, it's For 12v to 13.5 dc volt . You can find good one inverter 24 volt @http://www.theinverterstore.com/2500-watt-power-inverter-24-volt.html

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

Nope. It will probably regulate close to 28 volts, so you would have to arrange your batteries in a 24 volt configuration.

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.

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.

It will not work with 24 volts. I don't recommend this unit to anyone as mine stopped working after 6 months and I had to replace the unit! I am not a happy camper with Amazon!!!

Go with two high current 12 volt deep cycle batteries. Wire them in paralell; not series. You only want 12 volts; not 24. Use the same brand/capacity and type. Don't mix brands or current ratings. THE HIGHER THE CURRENT RATING;THE MORE TIME YOU'LL GET ON THE BATTERIES. I've seen systems with more than two batteries however, you'll need additional equipment to pull it off safely. You could also use a marine A/B Battery transfer switch and draw from bat A bat B BOTH of OFF. Don't forget to use fuses at key points. Amazon also has some pretty good books on the subject.

If you don't have one from the two you're replacing, Make your own with some wire & bolts. Connect in series to make 24V.

I don't believe it is a 24 volt charger per se but depending on which charger you have it can charge one or two 12 volt batteries at a timeSo one 24 volt battery noBut if two 12 set up for 24 volt yes

I believe you will need two panels connected in a series for a 24 V system. My panel puts out 18.99 volts max, not enough for a 24 volt battery. hope this helps.

Sure, you can use more than one 12v battery, but the multiple batteries must be wired in parallel, NOT series. "Parallel" means like terminals (+/-) must be wired together. You should consult an electrician if you aren't sure how to do this. I'm not sure about charging capacity - I suspect it will take longer to re-charge multiple batteries. You may want to ask Tripp Lite about that.

I use this solar panel to charge two 12V batteries connected in series to produce 24V. my boat has two 12V batteries, but they are connected in parallel which is likely the case for your boat. Also, I believe that you should be looking for a 12V Solar panel, not 24V. Hope this helps.

yes but you need to wire the batteries together the proper way, check the internet for 12 volt to 24 volt dc wiring diagrams you will want to maintain 12 volts not 24, this will extend your draw down time on your batteries

Yes, but... Needs a 12 volt supply of current. 24 volt vehicles usually have two 12 volt batteries. So you would need to use the aligator clip power supply to isolate to 12 volts.

The answer to the second question (780 watts @ 24 volts into a 12 volt battery bank) is yes. That's what I do (600 watts 24 volt into a 12 volt battery bank.)
