Can I use this to charge my 2 6V Trojan battery (12 V) to power my DC to AC power inverter?

Its a trickle charge don't expect a quick charge, especially if the inverter is in use.
1285304
Remember this is only about 1.25 Amps to 1;5 amps of or a trickle charger basiscly.

Yes, however at 15W it won't charge fast enough to use the inverter each day. I use this panel to maintain the house batteries in between outings.

Should work if you wire it properly see the following web page on how to wire two 6 volt batteries to equal a 12 volt battery. As the Panel is strictly for charging 12 volt Batteries. you have to make it think the two 6 volts are a 12 volt battery. http://www.solarrvpanels.com/index.php/wiring-rv-batteries-properly/

This may or may not work,I recommend a larger panel as this panel only puts out about 0.7 to 0.85 amps under typical conditions.

I use the solar charger to charge my 12 volt boat battery. I charge my laptop with 110 volt from my household outlet. I suspect you cannot charge your laptop without an inverter, but that may not be the best solution.. That's the best I can offer.

Gene,We have a couple of inverters that would work. Are you going to set your system up as a 12 volt or 24 volt system.Joe

Yes, you can charge the 12 volt battery while the inverter is powering your appliances and electronic devices.

not that I know of,if you wanted to use 12 volt,a 12 volt DC to AC inverter works good.

If the two batteries in series will make 24 volts DC, no. The charger on this unit is a smart charger and will likely fail to properly charge your batteries. In all probability, it will charge non-stop until the batteries and/or the charger burn out. I suggest either a 24-volt charger/inverter with a voltage reduction to match your 12-volt gear or a stand alone 24-volt charger and disable the charger that is built into the inverter.Hope this helped.AU

You probably can, but the cables should be very flexible (good welders cable). I believe the connecting bolts are 1/4", so 0G are really large. I am guessing that you have to go a long distance to the battery. I have used 6G and 4G for my application, which fit nicely. The inverter is only 600 watt so will draw about 50 amps DC at max load.

If you have a solar power system that can deliver 2 amps at 12 volts, then you can run this charger on it.

Sure--- as long as what you are trying to power needs 5volts and takes no more than 2 amps, it should work.
2048060
Yes as long as you don't exceed the controllers maximum current output. This unit at 12vdc draws 560milliamps

Sure, there's a 12V outlet so if you have a separate inverter you could use it to create AC power. I have no idea how long it would last for any given application or exactly what maximum load it could handle. Since it's not designed for that, the manufacturer doesn't give provide any specs. But is it a substantial battery.

I use my charge controller with a 12 volt converter, but I think you can put as much power in as you want,and that it will charge a 24 volt battery bank.Since I have 12 volt converter, I had to put all my 12 volt batteries in parallel, so as not to go above 12 volts and exceed the converters volts

Not directly, but (just as Ron Coleman suggested) you can using something like this: Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter

This is really for charging 12v batteries. Not aboe to directly charge laptops, etc, becuse the output in 12V from the controller. We use this on our RV to charge 4 marine batteries with the 30AMP controller, and run inverters to run appliances. It would be overkill to use this with inverters just for basic recharging, but it CAN be done.

I probably wouldn't if it were mine. Some electronics and batteries may be damaged by a power source that provides too much current (Your charger needs .3 amps and this supply puts out 1 amp). The device I am using with my power supply is a cheapy unit that is inexpensive, so no harm if it gets fried. I am also using my power supply to take the place of batteries, not for charging batteries like you're wanting to do. My recommendation is to pass on this as it might cause damage. Good luck :-)

Probably not the best idea. You could run the 12v unit off the connectors on one battery but that imbalance could shorten the life of the two batteries since they won't automatically balance. Best options - get a separate 12 volt battery for the inverter, or the company makes a 24 volt inverter. I've been very happt so far with the 12 volt model. It powers the coffee brewer and microwave oven in my RV just fine. Jim

This unit is intended for use with a 12 volt DC battery. While it is not acceptable to connect two 12 volt batteries in series for this power inverter, it is a great idea to connect two or more 12 volt batteries in parallel. This will provide you with additional amp-hours to power your 110 volt appliances.
