i have a bus with 24 v system with a vanner splitting the two 12v batterys do i need to disconect the vanner before i connect the battery tender

But I have my bt across the batteries without an issue. If your vanner is an equalizer, you just wouldn't be running them at the same time.

If you are using your Vanner as an isolator you should be able to connect directly to the isolator to charge both batteries.

The solar controller and generated can be connected to the same battery in parallel and not have any problems.I would only see an isolator or disconnect switch necessary if you wanted to remove your batteries and switch them with a different set or configuration.That way you can disconnect your panels while managing your batteries. This is good for preventing your charge controller from getting damaged.Let us know if you need further assistance.Regards,AW

Yes. Take the cover off the Neuton battery and carefully pull out the two connected batteries and you can see how to reconnect the two new batteries. The two 12v batts are connected in series too make a 24 volt battery. replace the batteries in the case being sure the charging post/metal strips are alligned in case. Hope I haven't confused you too much. Mine fit perfectly and worked as well or better than Neutons' $99.00 at 1/2 the cost.

Yes , you can disconnect tender if you want somewhere but if your car keep in garage I recommend leave it charge until you drive. Keeping battery charge keeping it live longer .

Deltran Battery Tenders are maintainers (low output). They will charge a totally dead battery, but to do so requires a second, good battery. Terminate the dead and good batteries in parallel. Hook the Deltran as always. Allow it to charge until 80% complete (green light on, red light blinking). Remove the paralleled battery. Finish charging the once dead battery.

My battery tender stays connected all the time. It only comes on when the battery needs charging. It has a red and a green light to tell you what mode it is in. Solar energy used for charging should not make a difference.

The charger should be connected to the battery. Quote from the manual, "Auxiliary Generators: Engine generators and other sources of power may be connected directly to the battery for charging. It is not necessary to disconnect the ProStar from the battery. However, do not use the ProStar to regulate these other sources of power."

You'll need an adapter to go from the battery tender to the venture coax. You can find them on the internet or simply make one. I used the standard venture harness and found an adapter to connect the battery tender. I think i purchased from motorcyclesuperstore.com.

It's generaly a good practice to disconnect the battery before any electrical work (unless required for testing)

It will over charge your van battery. An additional piece is required. A voltage regulator connected inline with the charger. Battery tender might be another name

Your question is rather confused. The 12 volt system is for running the motor that moves the dish to find the satellite. Unless you are using a HD reciever which requires the dish to move between 2 satellites there shouldn't be a problem disconnecting the 12 v power. If you have an HD receiver, leave it plugged in all the time you are using your TV. If you mean you are having a hard time geting the 12 v connector to disengage from the port, welcome to the club. It is difficult. Just hold the middle lever down and wiggle it back and forth until it gives up. Good luck.

The Battery Tenders that I have purchased have a couple wiring harnesses included. The first set has alligator clips and the second connect permanently to the battery posts. The opposite end of the harnesses have a polarized plug that connects to the Tender so you can't get it backwards. Just connect whichever harness you choose to the battery and the other end to the Tender and plug the tender in to a 120V outlet. Very easy and virtually fool proof.Hope this answers your question!

You will only need one battery tender unit if you use a splitter to both battery banks. Home Depot or Lowe's would be a good place to get what you need, and be able to talk to someone face to face.

I installed it as a battery disconnect in a 20 foot bow-rider motorboat. It disconnects the marine starting battery for a 5.7L V-8 motor which was experiencing a parasitic discharge.

no just use 1 12 volt battery if you have a 48 volt system or 2 6 volts if you have a 36 volt sys.

Mine is connected all of the time to the two 12V batteries that are connected in series. It keeps the batteries desulfated and has even restored a battery that I had given up on..no worries in leaving it connected all of the time!

That depends on the wiring that comes with your battery tender. I'm not sure what the end of the battery tender looks like. The Venture harness attaches to the battery with two eyelets. The battery terminals have a hole in them that you run a bolt through to hold the bike's cables in place. For the Venture harness, you just attach it the same way. Then there is a second harness which plugs into the end of the battery harness, and splits to go to each glove. It looks kind of like an RCA audio jack on both ends. Sorry I can't be much more help, but trust me, the Venture harness is easy to install. That depends on the wiring that comes with your battery tender.
