Plan to use this to recharge a 12v/100amh deep cycle golf cart battery to be used for powering two 12 v/4.4amp each water pump is this panel enough?

Well that depends.are you going to run the pumps all night? I use my panel to charge a 12 volt,110 amh battery that runs 12 volt lights through out the house. Works absolutely great!

It depends on how long you plan on running the pumps. The one 12 volt battery will run the pumps for about 5.5 hrs before it is 50% discharged which is the maximum you should discharge any battery. The maximum output from the solar panel is about 5.5 amps so 1 panel will not keep up with the current draw if the pumps are run continually. You will need 2 panels to keep up with the demand.

I don't know for sure but I'm thinking its not. I think you would be better off with a Autozone gold series or other deep cycle battery. Though ur pump is only 6.6 amp, where as my home 1/2hp sump pump is 20amps. If ur application is something u need to be reliable and counting on under heavy runs I would look at true deep cycle car or better golf cart battery.

set up properly, this would work to charge any 12v battery. you may want to work in a solar charge controller if you are worried about overvoltage protection and other features that can add safety. one thing this will probably not do is bring a dead car battery back to life, if that is the nature of your question. BTW... I have successfully done this with this very panel, and a small 12v 7ah battery. A few good hours of sun will give you a good recharge trickle, but its not much power (smaller panel). You may want to consider a deep cycle battery if you intend to use the battery over and over after recharges. Hope this helps.

Assuming there is a constant 12 volt direct source, the pump is going to draw 3 to 5 amps. amps x volts = watts. At 5 amps that would be 60 watts. With a battery in line it would work. Straight off a 50 watt solar panel probably not so well.

Not sure, The unit is designed for 12v deep cell low amp batteries used on boats to power radios, fish finder and lights but not to start high amp engines batteries to start car and boat engines.

Yes.After much research and experiments with it;I have discovered that the key is how much amps that your battery is rated as is the key to performance. A 12v,100 amps battery is good and connect a small solar panel to re-charge your battery.The instruction manual provided by the company was not properly written nor block diagrams drawn for the lay.

Yes it will I would wire your panels in series for 24 volts to the controller for best results and you bankroll have a 12v battery bank

I have no idea, only got this to recharge laptop for offline use, and help recharge battery for dc water pump for sluice.Have seen a web site for, I believe a 20 or 30 watt solar panel for this kind of pump, direct connect with solar hot water heater for RV. Hope this helps.

I believe the limit would be 4 (2x 6v in a series/parallel configuration). To be sure, contact the BatteryMinder folks. I'm using it on 4 7 year old golf carts myself although I have 6 total from a previous solar setup.

Im not sure how many amps it is rated for. I use it on a 12v marine deep cycle battery systme.

If 12 volt system the yes, which should be, any battery will work just depends on size and amperage needed. but I think this battery is little small for golf cart.

Works great for golf cart batteries @48 volt six 8 volt batteries will and should work fine for marine batteries

not really sure,i use mine to charge 12 volt battery to pump water from rainbarrel system,works good!

The nature of your question suggest you are looking for a battery "charger". If this is the case you will need more than the 5 Watts this panel can provide. With the 5 watts provided from this panel, you won't need allot of wiz's bang circuit breakers and meters. This panel dose a great job of keeping a fully charged battery in top shape all by it's self.

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

way to small for use with 1000 watt inverter. i have a new motorhome with a 1000 w inverter that is connected to two group 24 deep cycle batteries. some folks use two or 4 golf cart 6 volt batteries on inverert. all depends on what you are going to run, how ofter and what your pannels can put back. ask your local solar store or rv dealer.

I would think so. I am using mine for a 1.5HP pump to power a water feature. One word of caution- this timer should be mounted high enough to allow your plug from the pump to be plugged into the bottom of the timer.
