Is the 300Ma charging current available to each bank, or spreads among all 4 banks?

The 300mA for AA and 150mA for AAA is what this individual cell charger utilizes to charge each cell, whether there is 1,2,3 or 4 batteries place into the charging bays. This is the recommended current by both Sanyo and Panasonic engineers to optimize the life span of the eneloop cells.

Charging current is available to EACH terminal. There are four (4) terminals. You can charge four (4) batteries at once, or you can charge only one (1) or two (2) or three(3) It is a great device. The Eneloop batteries are simply fantastic. You will buy more they are that good. Hope this answers your question.

Charging from multiple sources is done often. There are very few instances where any trouble comes up.

Considering the max current this thing can put out is 750 mA, Having data pins connected for fast charge will not make a difference

If the generator has clean output I see no reason that the BatteryMinder AGM could fail to charge a big AGM battery. A cleaner solution might be to charge the bank direct from the solar cells, as long as the solar array doesn't have enough power to overcharge the AGM bank.

I do not have them on the same circuit. For me, it works but the transfer rate is slower than when they are on the same circuit. I cannot tell you whether that is normal behavior, or just a function of the wiring in my house (some of which is 50+ years old).

There is (or should be) a USB cord that comes with it. At the front of the bank are two slots for the USB -- the one to charge the bank is the smaller. Take the USB and plug the smaller end into this slot and the plug the wide end of the USB into any USB charger or into your computer's USB port.

According to Lifeline the maker of my AGM batteries either the gel or sealed setting will give the right voltage. One thing you might need to know is if the batteries are discharged say down to 50 or 60% you need to bulk charge with enough amps (most say at least 10%of the battery bank's capacity), so a 300 amp system would need at least 30 amps as a minimum and more would be better in order to assure a full charge is achieved. You may want to check with your battery manufacture to get the exact specs to charge with so you can get the longest life from your batteries. I just use the 180 watts of solar panel to keep my already charged batteries at full charge.Have a great dayGary According to Lifeline the maker of my AGM batteries either the gel or sealed setting will give the right voltage.

The kit assumes you are putting all 4 panels in series and close to one another all in a row do that the short cables on each panel connect to each other. If you want to do two banks in series and then parallel, you wil need additional mc4 cables. Also if you are not putting the panels adjacent to one another you will need some mc4 cables to jump the gap. Otherwise you only need a pair of 4awg (or so) wires from the MPPT to your battery bank to charge them up. Then you can also get an inverter to run off your battery bank for AC outlets.

I use the bank to charge multiple devices at once too. I have found no real difference. I suggest you save the money and buy the older (bank) one. I still use mine daily and love it!!!

Try this Battery Tender 022-0148-DL-WH 12-Volt 4-Bank Battery Management System

Yes you can. Although they make different relays specifically for DC current as David Said. Also they have smaller relays if you're just running one pump no need for 4 relays on a single board.

sounds like they have all the answers needed. i will add that the amount of electricity saved won't equal the frustration involved when you have a blip on the power grid and the on /off times change!

Not that I have noticed. And the charge rate is so slow that I'm not concerned about overcharging! Hope this helps!

Yes you can. Each module pulls about 30mA, which makes the total current draw of 600mA which is less than 1Amp.

yes I don't see why it would not work, you should use a charge controller to prevent overcharging

Correct... I haven't tested to see which port(s) would be 'ramped down', but the effect would be that one or more devices would charge a bit more slowly. Chances are good they will all charge, and pretty fast (you're only "missing" 200mA), but it won't be all three devices at full speed.

Yes, use the charge controller and configure according to the directions that come with it. I got the 30 amp one.
