If I add an additional battery, will it also be re-charged by the solar panels and/or AC plug in charger?

Yes - - -from page 22 of the instruction manual - - -When adding batteries to the system for long-term use, you must use 12V AGM batteries. Using different construction or chemistry batteries can damage components. * The supplied 5 amp rated AC charger has a total amp hour limit. External batteries may not exceed 55 amp hours. Total internal and external amp hour rating should not exceed 110 amp hours. * It is recommended to use at least 6 AWG cable or larger to connect additional batteries to the Solar e Power Cube when drawing full power from the Inverter. Heavy cables reduce voltage loss in the cables. Typical automotive jumper cables are sufficient.

No once the unit is fully charged from the mains it will power any apliance & recharge via solar power how ever if the unit is drained completely it will lock down & will have to have the mains adaptor connected even if for only a second to re activate it beare in mind the solar panel trickle charges the unit & cyan take 24 hours of direct sunlight to fully recharge the unit but it will replenish its self slowly during use I find about 5% of the power out put comes from the solar panel wen used in direct sunlight but don't quote me but it is a excellent product & I can't leave with out it please not as with all rechargeable batterys the battery capacity will demimish with time if the unit is allowed to be fully drain to point of auto shut down but if left in sunlight it will recharge itself I sue mine when traveling at night & let it charge during the day hope this helps

Yes. Two solar chargers would be needed. Please make sure both batteries are fully charged prior to connection. It is also recommended to disconnect the batteries from any possible draws.

Don't the batteries have to be re-chargeable for the solar charger to work ? Like my solar walkway lights. ? They all have a solar panel on top and must have a rechargeable battery inside to keep working. ???

Charging needs AC powerAs long as your solar panel has an inverter to make AC source, surely you can chargeBut this product is no good. I do not suggest buying it.

No. You would need a 12v battery and use the solar panel to recharge your battery

The battery is just a normal nimh type battery so that is the issue.Take the solar part out of the equation and treat it like its just another charger.

I've hooked up several on a battery that I keep charged with a solar panel. If you are using a power supply just be sure to over size it.

Yes, absolutely. You will need to have the correct charge controller between the panels and your battery though, to make sure that it is charged correctly and not damaged from over-charging.

Yes. You will get one full charge or about an extra 4-5 hours of steady use.

It will but will instill a minimal charge. This solar panel doesnt have a storage battery with it to charge from. This is best used set up in direct sunlight with it attached to a battery cell. Once the battery cell is charged, u can charge devices off it. It will take several hours to charge a battery pack kr, use without battery pack to give device a little charge to take a few pics then recharge.

This external battery should be charged with conventional power supply. The capability with solar battery is not guaranteed.

If there is a charge controller it should all work out of the box. I bought just the solar panel and the controller sold separately. The controller ensures the battery doesn't over charge and blocking diodes make sure the battery doesn't bleed charge at night time. I hope it all works out for you...

Yes. In my case it is recharged by the solar panel that came with the motion light kit I bought for my shed.

Yes. I recomend buying an extra battery pack AND charger. The USB cable that comes with the camera charges the battery in the camera VIA USB connected to a laptop etc. So, I charge both the battery in the camera and use the AC wall plug accessory (buy separate) to charge 2 batteries...you will need 2 batteries especially if you keep the GPS on all the time!

Not that I am aware of, I plug it into the wall outlet to charge my extra battery

YES... If AC power is connected it continues to charge the battery and the charging light is on. If AC is removed, it should continue to operate but once removed, with no battery, it will stop due to no power.
