Will this work on deep cycle batteries used for solar applications? I would guess those are not high cranking amp type batteries.

It simply applies a load across the battery being tested and measures voltage so it'll work on any 6 or 12 volt lead acid battery as a comparative or trend analysis tool. The "good and bad" scale doesn't have a marking for deep cycle application but I use mine to match and trend some large 1500 short circuit amp batteries. I have a hand held digital voltmeter connected in parallel with this instrument so I don't really use the scale anyway, it's just a handy, cheap switched load.

You get the best indication of battery condition under load. All this tester does is provide a load and measure voltage. I expect it wold work fine for your deep cycle batteries.

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

You would want to use this in conjunction with a deep cycle battery even a marine deep cycle like those sold under the blue "Ever Start" label at walmart even and a 10 amp or greater "Solar Charge controller" and a "ac power inverter" for running things like household AC lights/laptops/small appliances like blenders and coffee grinders and even short uses of a standard 700 watt microwave! Pending your geographical location (I'm in Oregon) I get about 35 to 45 amps of battery charge on a late spring through summer average sunny day.. (6-7 amps per hour) That's enough for me to keep my laptop running 24/7 and 3 or 4 8 watt CFL light bulbs in standard table lamps for 6-8 hours a day! You can add more panel and more batteries to expand your needs and to compensate for lower sun exposure areas.. I highly recommend searching the internet for a basic free "Solar how to and intro" page. and also a search about using and maintaining "Deep cycle batteries" (You never want to drain your batteries lower than 50% between charges) It all sounds overwhelming to a beginner but once you do a quick study you will be hooked! ~ Hope this helps ~ Nick

This device doesn`t support the batterys.Your Charge controller & solar panels determon what charge is in your batterys. The amount of amps drawn from your battery to run this device is determoned by how much power your load is drawing from the inverter.I have 30 deep cycle marine batterys supplying power to my 2500 watt inverter & I run two 1000 watt electric heaters, my frig. and house lights when I have a good supply of sunlight charging my batterys at 14.3 volts from three 40 amp charge controllers.I have at times seen this inverter draw my batterys down on a very cloudy day to 9.6 volts and still put out 115 volts.Any lower battery voltage and the inverter will shut down, but will come back on automatically as soon as the battery voltage gets built back high enough to run the inverter.

Yes. I use mine to keep a deep cycle 12V marine battery charged. 12 volts is just a nominal term for the average target output of a battery used in a 12V system. When fully charged, all batteries exceed their rated voltage.

i use it to charge two deep cycle batteries on our camper. the batteries do not get heavy use but it does the job.

This is not intended for that kind of amperage. This is a low amperage battery intended for powering gps/fish finders and the likes.

Yes this charger works fine for deep cycle marine batteries. I charge my deep cycles all the time with this charger.

I would say YES! This charger is extremely versatile and its charge cycle includes a "rejuvenation" mode that will desulphite cells in lead acid batteries such as typically used for your solar array which is a extremely handy function. Due to its charge modes you should have no problems with ANY Lead Acid battery no matter what size. Using it at night when you are running a generator should significantly increase the lifetime of your main battery bank (one 12 Volt battery at a time and rotating through multiple batteries one at a time) Occasionally, after charging, I like to jostle the battery I just charged to allow any loose scale to fall to the bottom of the battery.

Yes; in full sun one of these 15w panel will produce well over 800 milli amps close to 1 amp. 2 panels like these will double the charge rate and so on. My one panel easily maintains and keeps two 105 amp hour 12v deep cycle flooded batteries fully charge to over 12.6v month after month with about 6-8 hrs of full sun.

yes . i use mine often on all types of lead acid batteries, mostly associated with boating, fishing needs including deep cycle and maintenance free batteries. i purchased this same charger earlier and was so pleased i got another one for a different location. both have always worked very well !

Hello;In response to your question. Yes, the charger will work quite well for the Deep cycle battery. I use it on my Marine trolling batteries that draw down to nothing all the time. It works great! Jim

I do know these are one of the best batteries for cars because they are deep cycle and have a lot of cold cranking amps. I have had mine for about a year and have accidentally let it die a lot by leaving my lights on (because I am forgetful) and it charges back up to 100% flawlessly each time. I am not sure how well it would work with a solar array because I am not educated in solar power but it has been wonderful so far.

Maybe. My only experience is it worked okay on a pair of deep cycle trolling motor batteries.

Yes, this is a deep cycle battery. Also long-lasting at 35 amp-hours of charge. Should be great for an electric trolling motor.

I don't know for sure but I'm thinking its not. I think you would be better off with a Autozone gold series or other deep cycle battery. Though ur pump is only 6.6 amp, where as my home 1/2hp sump pump is 20amps. If ur application is something u need to be reliable and counting on under heavy runs I would look at true deep cycle car or better golf cart battery.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. My best guess is no, reasoning, deep cycle batteries are usually very expensive, this one is not. I use a ups to protect computers and equipment from surges and momentary/ short term outages and for that purpose these things are fine.
