How well would this work with a 48ah(or more) deep cycle battery? I'm looking at a Powersafe Dc power supply with a deep cycle battery for overnight.

I use a optima deep cycle battery in my ford explorer and run it all night. Never had a problem.

As long is it's DC and you have a power socket it'll work. It only uses about 7amps of power.

I've had no problems using mine of my 20A circuits. Keep in mind that it's only a small window that the 125A DC is available. I think maybe 10 seconds, then the units has a time out for 3 minutes. It's been a great charger so far. I've owed mine for over a year.

Repoleved pretty much answered the question. It depends on how much you use the battery and how much you drain down the charge. Mine runs a circulation pump for my solar water heater. I have a 12 boat (deep cycle) and it always seems to keep it charged up. When my panel arrived it had a cold solder joint and I had to re solder it to make a good connection, and you need to figure out how to mount it.

Should work just fine, but you won't get the time you would from a deep discharge marine battery. 200 watts is only about 2 amps draw at 110 volts and probably about 15 amps from a 12 volt battery.

If by 4a you mean 4 amp current draw then this 12 amp hour battery could run in for a max of 3 hours. About half that would be more realistic unless the power draw was less with lowered sound levels giving reduced amp needs. I run a ham radio transceiver with mine which pulls about 1.5 amps on listen and 10-12 on transmit. I have used it for over 2 hours of mixed use and it was still going.

I use a 9 amp/hr sealed lead acid battery (POWERSONIC PS1290F2) or an 18 amp/hr (Powersonic PS-12180F2). Both of these batteries will run the Class D Pyle amplifier all day (the 9 amp/hr is lighter) but the 18 amp/hr will run the system for a good 2-3 days with no problem. In each system I have an integrated charger (Battery Tender 021-0123 Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery Charger) to recharge the batteries at the end of the day.

At 200 W it puts out 12 V DC charging for deep cycle batteries. You can expect anywhere from 7-11 amps at peak power generation. You can also use it in 24 V mode, and expect half the current to the batteries. It will keep your batteries topped up. You can then use the batteries like you normally would, whether they power an inverter to power 110 appliances, or just 12 volt accessories. You can expect about 1 k-W-hr from these panels, with the 5 hour approximation rule. Should be enough power to recharge a 125 ah deep cycle battery, assuming a 50% discharge.

Yes it does work at full rated amps but only for very short periods. It constantly cycles out of the higher amperage because the unit cannot handle hard charges. It is OK if you are charging one battery over night or for more that 4-6 hours and need the surge to kick out a start, but it is a light duty charger. Do not expect it to charge a battery bank of 2 or more batteries.

Hey Edwars O. Not sure. What type/sort of system are you putting together? 6V 12V? What are you needing to run, and for how long? What are your energy needs? I can't answer your question my friend without more info. I personally use the 400 watt system with another 100 watt panel. I match my batt bank so every 100 watt of solar for 100Ah of storage. Yes, it is over kill for just myself! I'm still in the learning processes if you will. The panels that come with this kit have zero issues with charging the batteries on cloudy days. I'm very happy with this basic system so far!!

I believe it draws around 6 amps/hr. If you know (or can calculate) the total amps in your battery, you can divide it out to get approximate hours of use. In my camper using a deep cycle battery I can easily use on medium for two nights without a problem.

I don't think this is a deep cycle battery, but you should check with the manufacter. It works great for the application that I wanted it for.

Off grid 12v solar w/440ah reserve this unit would typically draw 5 amps when it cycles. DC power can be finicky, The better and shorter wiring or connection to your battery - battery bank, the better this unit will run. Try to use an independent or more direct source/circuit. Avoid plugging into a source already feeding other accessories. Also, make sure the vents are clear.Edit to add; 60-65 watts according to a dc amps to watts calc.

I agree with the other posts . You need Deep cycle batteries but you also can find power inverted made to accomplish this task the only question being capacity wattage and if it has pure sine wave out put as long as your load isn't more than what the inver can provide and battery has enough capacity & is of correct type then you should be fine . Never however modify or tinker with UPS and modify it beyond what the design say .

Amigo, it's hard for anyone to answer your question with the information you have provided. In short, if your system requires a 12-volt battery with a capacity of 28 watts and 7.2 amp-hours you should be OK. The other thing to consider is the size of the battery and the compartment it needs to fit in. Just make sure it will fit before you buy it. I purchased this battery for a home security system and it works well. It also fits my Verizon Fios battery back-up system. I would buy it again. Good luck!

It is a GROUP 24 type and therefore should be able to provide 80 amp hours. Group 24 through Group 31 are the usual power size. Check out BatteryStuff.com for more info.

Yes...dependent on the amp hours your battery will give you an estimate on how long it will last. A deep cell battery is best and more reliable.

I use a CPAP (breathing machine) in our camper and it works well for my machine and my wife who use a similar machine. Our deep cell battery makes it through the night and have had no problems. I don't know how long your items would last, but it works well for my applications. Should work well for charging and listening to your stereo. Hope this helps. Just remember this is an 800 watt device.
