Will this system work to power a small shed for lights, stereo and sometimes a power tool?

will work for some lights. I use them to power a truck scale with a yard light. I went to the 100 watt panel and have much better luck than the 80 watt. Jack

Yes it will. You will need to have 12 volt LED's as they don't use much power. (A deep dell marine battery is best.) For a stereo, like a car radio, it needs to be 12 volt and for the power tool, assuming you are talking about 110, you will need an inverter. (A 1000 watt inverter will run a circular saw. For other smaller tools,judge accordingly. If you are talking about a circular saw you will get 10-15 minutes use out of it before you need to charge the battery again. With a second battery you will get close to double that time. Any more questions, feel free to contact us again.

I did not use it for that but I think if you use only 1 no, I use it to charge and mountain batteries on my boat and it manages well

Depends on your battery set up...doubt one panel will get the job done. Works great for my RV though.
1308634
you will need a car or marine battery and a power inverter to convert DC to AC current power tools draw more current than lights or stereo depending on wattage consumption you will run down the battery rather quickly panel is like a 5 amp trickle charger which will charge the battery but again every 100 watts draws 10 amps so do the math at night with no sun the battery will discharge in about 1 1/2 hours for every 100 watts so again do the math and put multiple panels and battery"s in parrallel to acheive desired output hope this helps you

I would think so--depending on where you live. In Oakland, the one I just bought my son is charging 2 phones and a laptop and still running a TV when they want to watch a movie!! And it's been raining for a week, but still charging! He's getting great output and is planning to use it to run power tools--it is mounted on the roof of his 86 Econoline van!! [His 'bug-out' home!!]

This unit is powerful enough to keep several batteries charged depending on the sun. You will need a good battery bank, a power inverter with enough watts to power your stereo, lights, and a power tool. The answer is yes it will work depending on your batteries, and what type of drain you put on them during off sun hours. I use mine on an RV, it keeps my two large deep cycle batteries up, and also powers a 750 watt inverter when needed.

I use this system for 5- 4 watt light bulbs and to plug in my phone and lap top, this system will not work for power tools. Maybe for a small stereo depending on the wattage:)
1308638
yes but you need minimum of 4 car batteries connected together .when the sun is out you could run 5000 ac unit with 2 battery, im gonna buy more in the summer

My shed is 10 x 16 and it's okay but not great. It's not like having a 60w lightbulb. I can find things I'm looking for but I would not want to rely on it for doing any work.

Yes it will work you have to run extra wire to lights from lighter power source

Yes, the system uses the power from a receiver channel, not the power pack, so it will work just fine.Nate

It does work well for portable generators, note that you will need to by and attach the appropriate connectors. The wires are stranded pure copper.

It really depends on what else you have in the system, but yes it has the right connectors and should supply plenty of power as long as you don't have multiple cards or something like 15 hard drives drawing power from it.

i would think so. provided it has a separate connection for each. this thing take 1 12 volt source and makes it 3 switched 12 volt outputs

I use mine with a Marine deep cycle car battery to power lights and a tablet as a portfolio at an art fair, so yes it'll do the trick.

It depends on what your purpose for the device is. I'm currently using this to power a small speaker and it works excellently. One note worthy benefit is that you have a voltage adjuster on the unit rather than being stuck strictly to 12 or 5 volts.

Probably but I'm not sure. I use mine to power a Raspberry Pi device and it works for that.

Yep, should work fine. I use it for DJing and plug lights into each outlet for shows.

I would say, yes. It is a very easy system to setup and would have plenty of power for what you need, in my opinion.

Probably not a good idea. I can say the amount of cord provided is very generous. Wrapped easily around my 10x10 shed.

I personally wouldn't use this particular kit for a system that size. The wire is CCA stranded. The kit shows for up to 1500 watt systems. That's about all I would use it for. Take a look some OFC stranded kits. Stinger makes a couple options. It does cost more but with a system that size it's certainly worth the expense.

Yes/ Use ours to start ATV/UTV Lawn mowers, cars, trucks and boat batteries

It will power them but it will probably overheat. I would go with a bigger unit than this.
