Hi, can i recharge this battery pack with solar? Thank you!

Yes, this battery can accept from 12V to 19V DC power for charging. If you have a solar panel with output voltage 12V ~ 19V, you can use it to recharge this battery. The charge port connector size is 5.5x2.1mm. Best regards.

Yes. Two solar chargers would be needed. Please make sure both batteries are fully charged prior to connection. It is also recommended to disconnect the batteries from any possible draws.

YES. WE SELL THEM FOR THAT PURPOSE, HOWEVER IF YOU ARE USING THE BATTERIES FOR ANY PURPOSE, THIS 7 WATTS WILL NOT KEEP UP. SOLAR HOWEVER IS ALWAYS A FUN EXPERIMENT. IF 7 WATTS WON'T KEEP THE BATTERIES CHARGED, ADD MORE WATTS (PANELS) (OR LARGER WATTAGE PANELS). YOU COULD CHECK OUT OUR INFORMATIVE WEB SITE AT www.sites.google.com/site/solardoityourself, or even call me directly at 305-900-09596. thank you

I recommend you read my review. I managed to make this work but DO NOT EXPECT the solar to do anything at all. The panel it comes with is only 1/3 the power required to run the system. It is a 10W panel and you need 30W. They will happily sell you additional panels. The batteries are also worthless. The system has no way to charge them. You actually need to connect them to an external charger to do this. The solar won't charge them. They will also sell you a solar charging module. In the end I removed the solar and the batteries and have it wired to A/C power. Oh and another thing, I have replaced the main control board 3 times since I bought it. The customer service to make this happen as horrible. I am now out of warranty and if the system dies I will simply spend the money and replace it with a higher quality one. Now I am basing this on the kit I purchased 2 years ago. It would be nice if they have changed it but I would not count on it. I hope this helps.

The quick answer is "it depends." Read the label of your "solar" rechargeable battery types. If the label says it is a nickle cadmium (NiCad) or Nickle Metal Hydride (NiMH) the answer is YES, just remember to set the charger's slide switch to the type of battery you wish to recharge. Charging batteries of different types (alkaline, NiCad, NiMH) invites a poor recharge at best, overheating, leakage or damage to the charger. The answer is NO for recharging standard (heavy duty) batteries and for recharging high-end lithium or "Quantum" batteries.

That is a good question. I am inclined to say yes but at half the rate. Based on my experience it would be like using a solar panel at half the wattage, it would only maintain a battery as opposed to charging. good luck.

It is not solar. Solar is the company name. You have to plug it in to 120V.

Yes. You can replace with rechargeable or alkaline batteries easily. Do not try to recharge alkaline batteries. They would only be used to recharge a cell phone or something similar.Rechargeable batteries have many cycles before they have to be replaced. They are environmentally friendly. I did not feel that the solar charge feature worked well. The USB cord plugged into external power, works best.

I do not know I just use it with batteries and the solar system charge the batteries.

Sure, but you will want to make sure that you have the solar panel hooked up through a contoller/regulator to avoid overcharging the battery. This is true with any battery.

I've had mine about 3 years and the solar panel works great as a power source. As for recharging rechargeable batteries, doesn't SEEM as effective.

No, you can get a rechargeable battery and Moultrie has a solar charger for it. I bought my first one with it and it lasted about 2 years. I recommend just a regular battery.

(Addendum to previous answer). Of course, you need to leave it in sunlight to recharge the batteries...forgot to mention that in my previous response.

Good question, I tried to charge mine using solar recently and they did not charge . I have been very busy recently and haven't had a chance to figure out what is wrong

You can, but it's not a true solar charger. The solar and wind charger are just too keep the battery from dropping in between charges. I contacted k3 they told me to charge the batter on this unit by solar from dead would take 180 -200 hours., with the wind charger would take over 400 hours..

no this won't work. there are other solar products designed for charging phones

The short answer is, "Yes." You could connect the output of the solar panel to a 12 volt battery bank. The battery bank will recharge. HOWEVER, if you don't either monitor or regulate this, you will damage the battery bank from overcharging it. Specifically, if you could manually check on the voltage very couple hours, you could disconnect the solar panel when the voltage reaches full charge. or you could get a charge controller that is wired in between the solar panel and the battery bank. This inexpensive device will both optimize the charging current to the battery and will stop the charging when the battery is full.
