I have a small mobile home with 2 house batteries . Can this solar charger be connected to the battery's terminals while the batteries are being used?

Yes, BUT as with any solar panel, it should be connected with a Charge Controller. FYI, if you plan to run any significant use from your batteries, this solar panel would not keep up. You will most likely need at least a 60 watt panel or more.

Yes, that can be done;The juice you get out the solar pane wont put them fast in

I have the solar converter hard wired to my batteries and the solar produces power all the time. Even with the trailer hooked up to the 110 power my solar is always charging, when the batteries are full the solar converter shuts off power to the batteries.

Yes you can. It has 4 outlets that you can plug regular household items into and a different outlet that you can hook up to a household transfer switch if you have one installed in your house. I have run a batter charger, a portable water pump and had my camper hooked up to it at the same time with no problem.

Cannot speak to the possibility of a solar charger .. but I see that others have. As this is a battery, you need only confirm the output of the solar device (which varies on the sun, of course) and the input mvaH required to charge .. both would be in the technical specifications of the devices.

As long as you securely connect the charger leads to the battery before plugging it in, I would say yes. The battery charger itself is solid state "potted" with no exposed circuitry.

I don't see why that would not work. Although it might take a while to recharge with that solar kit if you are using ac power heavily.

These connect to the supplied (or a replacement) charge controller which connects thru a fuse to your battery. If your generator also charges the battery then this charge controller simply will be over shadowed by the generators charger (as in at night). I have it connected this way and it works fine. (Both chargers in parallel with no issues.) I'm keeping this charge controller as a spare and have replaced it in my RV with http://www.midnitesolar.com/pdfs/spec_sheet_kid_frontBack.pdf. I ended up getting a total of 4 of these panels for a 400W system. The Kid essentially adds another virtual panel due to it's improved efficiency.

No.The circuitry is designed to look at the battery conditions (voltage, current draw etc.) and another charger in parallel would confuse that.If you need more power, you need to buy a larger charger or get multiple solar panels and feed those into Delran's separate solar controller.

yes you can,I bought some solar lights that had very low voltage batteries and it charged them just fine.

If the battery already has a charge it would be like using it white plugged into the wall... Just not as good. The solar charger is more like a trickle charge. It will keep the battery charged longer than if it wasn't charging it. Thus is assuming your battery can drain and charge at the same time

I would NOT recommend that you do this.. It can probably be done but this charger monitors a battery for the level of discharge as well as the level of charge. If it were the exact same battery with the exact level of discharge maybe but I don't see that happening.. I would NOT recommend you do this..

Yes it can. I leave mine plugged in all the time. I would also consider looking at the Duracell Powerpacks as they have a range of sizes - but they do not have the solar hookup - depends on what you are looking for.

Just connect it to the proper terminals even with the car's terminal connected. I've been using the charger for more than a year and it really activates my car's and motorcycle's batteries.

No. The solar charger is expecting a solar panel. A solar panel in sunlight puts out much more than 12 volts and the charger will regulate that down to provide the optimum power delivery to the battery. A 12V 3A supply won't put out enough voltage to charge the battery even if it was connected directly.

the battery has to be disconnected from whatever the battery is powering, otherwise you charge not only the battery but also the connected car/RV etc. This can be harmful to your cars electronic or the charger itself. I sell these chargers (6 volt version) with my battery powered pet fountains and had no complain over many years.

Yes, I have mine attached to my battery in my boat 24/7 (at least in the summer) and use the boat at the same time. Don't expect this charger to come anywhere close to charging your battery while using the trolling motor tho. Connect it and forget it.

Yes....be sure and use isolation diode between battery and charging system as not to run down vehicle start battery

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