What gauge wire do you need to hook up 12V marine battery to charge contoller?

It really depends on the length. You can use the gauge calculator on our store website. http://www.renogy-store.com/category-s/1864.htm

I used standard 14 gauge house wire from the panel to the controller and from the controller to the battery. This is ok, because there isn't alot of amps (raw power) being pushed from the panel. With 12v systems, the more raw power (amps) being used, the thicker the wire needed. You can even use regular copper twist wire, just don't go smaller then the wire the panel uses.. which I think is either 14 or 16 gauge.

The boat I use has a 12 volt battery, the outboard motor has an alternator that keeps it charged.

I'm pretty sure it's 10 gauge I ran it front to back on a Lund 20' fisherman to charge my main engine battery.

The 12 volts is only for the light and not required for the temp gauge to operate. However you will have to find a place to screw in the temp sensor which will need to be exposed to the water/coolant....

I bought mine a year ago and have been using a standard 12 Volt battery in my boat. Never had a problem and it does it all. I use it to steer my ipilot troweling motor.

Only use the GP-DC-KIT3 if you are running 24 Volts. A GP-DC-KIT5 would be suitable for 12 Volt applications. Go Power recommends this GP-DC-KIT5 kit, or to use 10 feet or less of 4/0 Cable with a 400 Amp fuse. This kit includes 10 feet large gauge battery cables, tie downs, the appropriate amp inverter fuse and mounting block.

I bought a 12 volt battery for an atv/motorcycle. I bought two small alligator clips( red and black) and attached them to the ends of the wire. Then just clip red to + terminal and black to - terminal. I don't submerge mine in the water so I had to adapt an intake hose. You'll need to suck on the output hose until the water gets through the pump. You'll need a small 12 volt charger for your battery. Not expensive, think mine was about $17. Hooking it up to computer power supply is probably not the best idea.

Since this is not a factory replacement gauge you will have to make the mounting hole and wire it yourself. It's well worth the effort to know your batteries' reserve.

yes 12 volt dc with a positive and negative wire. Great lights for my pontoon boat

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.

Assuming the batteries and your electrical system requires no other changes the than the installation of the battery monitor then all you will need is the 22 gauge wires (8) for the length you need. These are cheap at a hardware store and there should be no need for the wiring kit.

I used a #10 stranded copper wire THHN is good for 30 amps. I ran a red and black from the charge controller out to the battery terminals. The charger will keep a constant and monitoring voltage for your 12 volt battery. You may want to add a Wattsup to give more information and condition of the process.

While it might be awkward, you certainly could use a 12 volt automotive or marine battery. In fact, while I use mine with a lawn tractor, I use a marine battery used for a trolling motor rather than the tractor battery. This is because I was experiencing charging problems with the additional load on the tractor battery. I just strap the battery on the mower deck.

panel to controller I use 10 gauge stranded, insulated, controller to battery I use 4 gauge insulated, stranded, battery to load depends on the load.

Yep, you should be able to hook them up to two 12 volt batteries permanently as the wires are set that way. I didn't have room to mount the charger in the boat so I bought some battery clamps for the end of the wires that hook to the batteries and charge them that way. When the batteries are fully charged, I pull the clamps, unplug the charger, and store the charger away. I like this better as I can see when the batteries are fully charged and not have the charger continuing to trickle charge the battery. Although, they say that is ok. So far, this charge works great!!

Try 4 Marine batterys the biggest you can get ahold of locally (avoid shipping)

If you're conecting it to a 12volt marine battery directly- you will need 10-12 size connections. The ones that come with motor are very small that will not fit over connections - you'll have to cut off the small ones and replace w/10-12 size. Also, with foot control you might want to buy a mount for pedal. It tends to move. I have both and prefer hand control 45 for that reason. Hope this helps
