Inside my enclosed trailer is a 12V battery charged by a small solar panel on the roof. Possible to charge golfcart battery stored inside of trailer?

It depends on a few things. The golf carts that I have come across are 6 volt batteries. Normally there are 6 total batteries in the cart. This device only works on 12 volts. Now if yours is converted to 3 batteries that are 12 volt totaling 36 volts in all. Then yes it will work on your 12 volt batteries. Or if yours is gas powered and uses a 12 volt to start then it will work hope this helps.

This is only an adapter that attaches to your existing battery tender brand battery tender. This unit does not charge anything. It turns your battery tender that is attached to your battery into a USB charger.

If I'm understanding your question correctly I believe you are trying to recharge a12volt battery, if this is the case the answer would be No. However verify the manufactures specs

I purchased this battery for my walk behind golf cart, it is a 12V 22ah, Length 7.13 inches width 3.03" and height of 6.5", if these dimension will accomadate your battery compartment and the voltage/Amps are coorrect it should work for you.Width 3.03 inches Height 6.57 inches Weight 14.60 lbs

If you use a battery tender to maintain your batteries when not in use, then I would imagine you have the pig tail attached. Just plug into the pig tail. However if you are not charging the big battery in some way it will draw it down. My opinion, if you camp a lot, invest in a good quality solar charger.

I used this battery for a remote control golf cart. [one bag] It is not for a regular size golf cart.

I bought mine from my boat and I attached outdoor 12 V receptacles to each of my batteries and mounted my solar charger so that it was facing straight up and I keep it plugged into one of the batteries all the time to keep it charged.

That should work. I use mine to maintain six 6 volt batteries in my golf cart. However I wouldn't use this device as a charger. I think it would take quite awhile to charge batteries that are low. It's main function is to maintain a charge. You might call the company. They were real helpful in answering some questions I had when I bought mine.

I would say it can be done. Having done a lot of electronics in my day it seems like a no brainier. The battery in the unit is a Lead Acid type so the charge circuit should work fine. You should consider a sealed Lead acid Battery rather than a standard Car battery or consider wiring several in parallel. The sealed battery will be much safer to store in general. If you use a standard Car battery, you could find your self boiling it or deep discharging it. In either event that would not go well if you stored in someplace that is not acid safe. You can get a pair of 9AH sealed batteries for $20 and almost quadruply this units capacity. The one in this unit is only 5AH. Just wire them parallel and you should be fine. Honestly, I would not use a standard car battery unless I stored it in my garage or at least out side my living space. One last thing to consider is that by adding a bigger battery, you are only increasing the length of time you can support the load without the Grid. You can not put a heavier load on the unit. The inverter will only safely put out the rated power no mater how big the battery is.

I just got my charger, used it at a dry campground in my 16 ft trailer. Plugged it into the 12 volt connection inside the trailer, placed it by a window, it kept my power up. I also set up a connector from my battery and had it come out by my elec cord. That way if I am in shade I can connect from outside and have the 10 ft extension to sun. I do not have outside access to my battery, it is under a cabinet.

There are a couple methods that will work.The first is to attach battery clips to the panel cord, then when needed clip onto the battery. This is simple but you always need to make sure the polarity is correct and when not attached it would be good to not let the clips touch so the panel isn't shorted.Another method would be to purchase a mating set of 2 pin flat connectors. These are similar to the 4 pin connectors used to connect a trailer to a car. Connect one to the battery (best if the exposed pin is connected to minus). Connect the other to the panel (exposed pin connected to plus). Now you just have to mate the connector and there is no chance of a short.Regards There are a couple methods that will work.The first is to attach battery clips to the panel cord, then when needed clip onto the battery.

Great for a Horse Trailer. Some Horse trailers DO have a battery for interior lights, others take the 12 volt DC take the power from the trailer's PIG TAIL connector for the tail and brake lights. I like having the separate battery because I can raise/lower the tongue without hooking up to the truck. Both are 'Handy-man' installations.

I use mine this past weekend. I had the panel charging a 12V marine battery through a solar controller and had a 12v fan running in my trailer at the same time. Seemed to work just fine.

Yes. If you have a 36 or 48 volt golf cart it effectively reduces the voltage to output 12V.

Yes it can charge the camper battery, but I doubt if you are using a lot of watts over night that it will be enough... It is more of a strong trickle charger... You need the larger panels for dry camping. A 24 Series Battery has 85 AMP hours of power. In other words, a single bulb in the trailer draws 1.7 AMPS. Now take the number of bulbs in the unit, for example, a trailer with 15 bulbs = 27.20 AMPs. Add in a radio CD player = 5.0 AMPS. Now the furnace will draw 7.0 AMPS if it were to run for 1 hour depending on how cold at night and how the temperature is set. Even though the fridge is on gas, the board still draws power, 2.0 AMPS. Here are some examples of how much power certain items draw: 85 AMP hours 27.20 AMP bulbs 5.0 AMPS stereo 7.0 AMP furnace 2.0 fridge 41.20 total per hour ____________________________________________________________________________ 85 divided by 41.20 = 2.06 hours of battery power. Now we know that we do not have all of the lights on at the same time but you get the general idea. What can you do so you don't run out of power? First there are solar panels. We recommend a 130 watt panel with a 30 AMP regulator. This will give you 7.2 AMPS of charge per hour (with good weather conditions). Secondly, a new and upcoming idea is LED interior bulbs. They only draw 0.2 AMPS that's 3.20 AMPS verses 27.20 AMPS with the traditional bulbs. So you can see the 5 watt panel you are looking at will not even come close to helping you dry camp, but it will help maintain your charge if in storage.

I use motorcoaches for 30 years and when stored at home the solar panel on roof cannot get sun. So I bought this, put a metal type hanger on it and leave it pointing toward Sun from ladder on rear of coach.... as batteries right there. Works fine and keeps the batteries on a small charge. Have had no problems.

Hi! Indeed it can, but will not maintain them perfectly equally among all batteries. I have mine connected to 4 155AH batteries in series (48V) that are all identical, and it does an adequate job on a very technical, high-spec installation. It will do a golf cart battery sufficiently that you will not notice a difference between batteries.

my 2013 trailer had a battery cutoff switch. I charge my trailer direct to the batteries but use the cutoff switch when operating my generator.

Any battery will charge with solar panels. Unfortunately when I bought them I thought they were 100amp hour, but their not. That's what you need if you want to go solar. Golf cart Batteries are what you might want to look into, they store a lot more energy and that's the whole key to solar! Hope this helped.
