What's the battery (s) bank size can this solar panel charges . Thanks

It appears to be designed for a single 12V lead-acid battery. Will typically provide between 3A-4.5A charging current on a moderately sunny day.

It will charge multiple batteries so long as there set up for a twelve volt setup I average about 4 amps so one battery or ten the only difference would be how long it takes to charge them.

never used it. did not have the watts to charge my solar generator. i can't answer your question any ways. you did not say the watts of the power film, or the amp hours of your battery and type. sorry. good luck.

The short answer is, "Yes." You could connect the output of the solar panel to a 12 volt battery bank. The battery bank will recharge. HOWEVER, if you don't either monitor or regulate this, you will damage the battery bank from overcharging it. Specifically, if you could manually check on the voltage very couple hours, you could disconnect the solar panel when the voltage reaches full charge. or you could get a charge controller that is wired in between the solar panel and the battery bank. This inexpensive device will both optimize the charging current to the battery and will stop the charging when the battery is full.

I charge my deep cell battery with 100 watt solar panel! Lenbo flood light is connected to battery. I'm sure you can connect two! Very bright!

No This provides 100 watts so to run this many watts would take 7- 100 watt solar panels & that would give you 10 watts to charge your battery under full sunshine. However I am new at this so you may want to consult some other people with more knowledge on this matter.

300 watts of solar panels to charge the batteries and run the pump. 4 group 24 deep cycle should due and a 30 amp charger. also there have been problems with pump and i have one go out after just three months. so you might look at another pump

It can charge a single or bank of 12 volt batteries. I have about 6 in parallel attached to it.

Pump specs are 500mA@12V. Any of the small automotive solar chargers should work but, like someone else said, you should charge a battery then run the pump off the battery. DC watt calculation; P(W) = I(A) × V(V), so 6 = .5 * 12

I ordered for my grandson and had it shipped to his house. I'm not sure about the size of batteries, but I think they were shipped with the bank. He loves it. Sorry.

Hey James - you can use any size solar panel as long as you use a regulator between it and your battery or battery bank. I have a 30 watt panel with a little regulator going to a set of 5 of these 35AH batteries. The panel is 20V, the regulator allows that to charge the batteries until they get up to something like 14.2 volts, then cuts off. Keeps the batteries nice and topped off and active for when we need them. I will eventually add more panels in parallel with the current one for faster charging. Here is a link to the regulator I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Sunforce-7-Amp-Charge-Controller/dp/B0006JO0XI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384291827&sr=8-2&keywords=solar+regulator This is the panel I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Instapark%C2%AE-Black-Mono-crystalline-Solar-Panel/dp/B004FWW44Y/ref=pd_sim_auto_2

The six volt solar panel used with the Moultrie feeder is about four or five inches square. It attaches right on the feeded. I have one for over a year and have never had to replace the battery. Hope this helps.

Yes, I use a large panel at home and it can fully charge the batteries in about two hours in direct sunlight. I have a small 40watt panel that I used out in the field and it kept my ham radio running all day without a decrease in stored battery power.

This is designed to charge batteries which in turn could feed your inverter. But a battery bank for a VW bus is not going to need a solar solution this large. You should contact the vendor for a better solution. They are very responsive.

This is a good solar panel. I have 2 batteries connected parallel, + to +, and - to -. This gives me the same voltage- 12 volts. I run my garage door opener and some accessories in my garage off a power inverter. The Ramsond solar charge regulator shuts off when batteries are full. Like T.J. said, make sure you aim the panel for best results, and hopefully its not foggy where you keep your boat!

Hi, Sandbagger, the charger/inverter is 15" high, 13" deep, and 16" wide. I keep mine indoors and since it is on wheels it moves well. It is VERY heavy, so you can't pick it up by yourself, even with the handles. Definitely set up the "dolly" to pull it around. When the 4 solar panels are connected (and you SHOULD connect them for max results) everything works as expected. I have not yet used it in an emergency, but play with it by plugging in my Electrolux vacuum, then trying my full size refrig, then other small appliances. The line between the panels and the inverter is about 6 feet long, so the inverter is inside my back door and the panels are just outside. Actually, on sunny days I sometimes prop my panels up inside the sunny doorway! I don't know if you can get a longer lead between panels and inverter, haven't looked into that yet. I feel that the value is there for emergencies, and especially if you get/buy the lights. A very good buy.

yes it can.12 or 24 volts battery bank. supplier dont know anything that the manual dont tell them.

Yes... but a solar panel this small would take weeks or more to charge that battery. I use a mich larger solar panel to keep a car battery charged. I bought it at harbor freight for $40 or so. But that panel takes 3 days to charge a car battery and is about 25x larger than this one. In short solar power is not very efficient and takes a long time to do much of anything. Hope this helps.
