hi , there was no maual with the product ,, my questions is ,, can i fixed it direct to 12 volt battary or only to be used with 24 volts battary ?

You need to buy a 12 regulator they sell for solar panels so it will not over charge your 12 volt batteries.

I had to hook up 2 12v battery to make it a 24v bank and plus a solar charge controller between the panel and the battery bank to prevent over charging

Because the voltage is 40 volts, you need to buy a voltage controller that accepts input for 24 volt or 12 volt. and the output for the battery will be 24 or 12 volt. The voltage controller will automatically detect the input voltage of the solar panel and will automatically detect the battery voltage. I have purchased two of these items on amazon. However, One seller was in Shanghai and the other in Hong Kong. you can get 30 watt or 60 watt. Blue Solar was the name of one of them. I did get both delivered after a while.

If the panel puts out 24volts d.c. then you need a 24 volt charge controller. Many of these controllers can detect the input voltage (12 or 24 volts) and can automatically adjust to work with either.

honestly i havent set mine up yet but my plan is to hook it up to an inverter then plug a charger into the inverter. but sadly i havent had time to mess with it yet. the inverter will protect your battery from overload though i do know that. it changes the current from direct to alternating so it will become just like a wall socket when there is adequate sunshine. but honestly solar has a ton of ways to hook it up and it all depends on what you want to use it for. youtube has a million different explainations of how it can be used for different things and thats just one source. if you can respond im curious what you plan to use it for? honestly i havent set mine up yet but my plan is to hook it up to an inverter then plug a charger into the inverter. but sadly i havent had time to mess with it yet. the inverter will protect your battery from overload though i do know that. it changes the current from direct to alternating so it will become just like a wall socket when there is adequate sunshine. but honestly solar has a ton of ways to hook it up and it all depends on what you want to use it for. youtube has a million different explainations of how it can be used for different things and thats just one source. if you can... » Read More honestly i havent set mine up yet but my plan is to hook it up to an inverter then plug a charger into the inverter. but sadly i havent had time to mess with it yet. the inverter will protect your battery from overload though i do know that. it changes the current from direct to alternating so it will become just like a wall socket when there is adequate sunshine. but honestly solar has a ton of ways to hook it up and it all depends on what you want to use it for. youtube has a million different explainations of how it can be used for different things and thats just one source. if you can respond im curious what you plan to use it for? « Show Less

you will need a 10 amp charge controller for one of these or a 20 amp charge controller for two.The charge controller will have adjustable settings "you set"I suggest a renogy 30 amp pwm controller for three reasons it will give you room to add more panels its cheap under $35 and its all you would need to accomplish battery charging in 12 or 24 volt mode,I hope this helps

I hooked it up as 12volts. It should be even brighter at 24volts, however that will shorten its lifespan. If you have a 24volt system, you can install an inline resistor. Then it will only use 12 volts. My two lights are brighter than 4 high beams. I hope this helps.

I had the same problem. So, I tested the battery with a multi meter and it tested at 4 volts dc. That was the condition it arrived to me in. I tossed it in the trash and bought an equivalent from RADIO SHACK. It tested at 12.3 dc volts. I hope this helps.

I confirm what it as been said before by the others, no problem unless you use it with a very sensitive equipment. Another way to do it is to use a 14v adapter to get 12v at the end if you have a voltage drop. But normally the equipment have a tolerance and you should be good.

I had the same issue with the unit i installed. I looked closer at the specs and realized it is a dc 12 volt unit. If you are using an ac transformer, it will not function correct.

So far mine is working fine. You have already adressed two likely causes. Only other thing I could suggest is to bypass the battery and try using it in direct 12v input mode. That will at least tell you whether or not it's a battery problem.

It requires a DC9V-DC12V 250mA. So you have a range of volts to work with, but a set milliamp. Good luck. Have fun.

Don't Do It. The motor is a 12 volt NOT 24 v and I'd expect you'd damage it. Now, if you put the batteries in Parallel ( + to + to + motor terminal and - to - to - terminal on the motor) you would probably extend running time considerably but remain at 12 volts. Call the manufacturer to be sure. Properly powered this is a good little motor.

yes,only de bulb is not so bright when you test whit 12v,i even test on 24v but a very short time so i dont burn the bulbgreetings from BelgiumGuy

It should b 12v and it looks like it.Hook it to 12v low volt won't hurt it.

other than using a transformer adaptive to you supply voltage. I would recomend you contact the manufacture direct to avoid mishaps.

Dear Kenneth, Thank you for your message. There should be a built in charger in your system that is charging the battery. If you have the battery for a long time and it is not working, most likely the problem is with the battery not the charger. If you are sure that the issue is with the charger, then most likely you need a 12v 2amp charger. Unfortunately I wasnt able to find one with the model number you have provided us with. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

If your batteries are connected in series to give 24 V DC, I would not recommend that you use this inverter because it is meant to be used with a 12 V DC supply. Instead you may want to find a 24 V DC to 110V AC Inverter such as the "Power Bright ML1500-24 1500 Watt 24 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC Power Inverter". Amazon has this product also. If in doubt, have an electrician assist with the installation.

I would not recommend. Try searching for B0067EA1EI . Its the 240 Volt version of that product.

Yes if you wire them correctly u can do that. There are different ways to connect the batteries. But are you using 24v. Most low voltage is 12v. Im no expert or electrician. Just based on experience

The best way is to refer to the owners manual for the proper type/size/volt of the battery. If the manual is not available, open the battery compartment and remove the battery and replace it with the same type/size/voltage. Hope this helps

A 12V battery is too powerful. You need around 3V, or you could add a resistor in series with the 12V one.
