I have a 2002 F250 76.3 D truck with 2 batteries will I need 2 of these units to keep the batteries charged?

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.

No, I have two batteries. When one is depleted, I put it in the charger and when charged I store it while I'm using the second battery. I usually don't need the fully charged one until the next weekend and the charge still lasts long enough to do all of my 1500 square feet of wood floors.

It takes two batteries to operate the truck. It comes with two NIMH batteries. Great truck.

No, It comes with 2 connectors. One for the power outlet and one for direct battery connection. I use the battery connector. Since I don't drive my truck much anymore the battery just discharges while sitting. Since I connected this panel the battery is always charged when I need to use it. It is great.

Does not drain my battery & I do not have to have my truck running. Sometimes I may have 2 or 3 devices plugged in.

Yup, you'll need a way to keep the batteries charged if you're parked someplace for awhile.-John

Connect positive side of battery lead to one of the big lugs on the solenoid. Connect the other lug from solenoid to your pack of 3 batteries on the positive side as well. You will need to find a fuse in the panel that is on only when engine is running and run a wire from that to the switching side of the solenoid, (usually the small one on the left if you have the solenoid mounted to the wall). That is how my inverter batteries are tied in to protect running down the truck battery if it is left on. It breaks the circuit when the key is turned off. good luck with it.

Nope. I've gone back to my standard battery; bit of a pain, but I have a separate battery and charger in the truck. I can usually get through the day without swapping batteries.

i am not a mechanic, nor electrical engineer, however, I doubt that the current required to charge this unit will do any harm to the battery. For a more qualified answer, you might check with your mechanic or dealer that sells auto batteries.

I don't have info on your truck. there are 3 things to look at to see if it fits. size- will it fit in the space provided, width length and height? plug- will the plug match yours? volts- is your truck 6 volt? first= if your truck is 6 volt and not 12 volt then the voltage is right. - if the plug doesn't match yours then you could replace the plug with another set. - battery is 4 1/4 inches wide, 2 3/4 inches deep and 5 1/2 inches tall.

One twelve vote battery. Make sure to charge the battery after using. It will take time to work. The battery may need an additional charge. Normal driving should then keep it working good. Make sure there are no bad cells in the battery.

I have always left them installed and hooked up. I use the Battery Minder on my tractor, camper and garden tractor. Hope this helps.

We use a large 12 volt truck battery and it maitains a good shock for 2 months. At the end of the 2 months we put in a fresh battery and recharge the other one.

the battery is 2 Nonstandard Battery batteries required. (included) . does this battery need charge or i need buy new one when this battery ran down?

Just one fuse to the second battery (+) to your unit. My second battery is hooked to two hidden cameras. (Vandals in my block) so the battery runs 24/7. it'll charge as you drive your car. Hope this helped. DP in NY

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.

I don't know what that means. Car battery? Don't think so. I have a F-150 work truck and leave it plugged in when I need it. Sometimes I forget it's plugged in, but hasn't ever killed my truck battery.
