I have a Battery Tender jr:Plugged into a 120 volt source. I read 12 v AC on my Fluke without battery hooked up to it. Will it convert to DC with ATV battery hooked up to it ? yes or no !!!!

That's the idea behind any type of battery charger AC to DC. If I understand your question properly, you have the Tender plugged into a regular AC outlet and are charging a 12v DC ATV battery. It will work just fine.

My ATV battery is 12V/10AH. Granted, that's double the size you want to charge, but if it's truly a 12V battery, it shouldn't matter as this is designed to charge 12V's. This product has kept my battery alive, connected to my bike, for the last six months. I don't have a charge controller. Once in a while I will check it with a voltmeter just to be sure - this solar charger keeps the battery between 12.8~13.0 volts. The amperage it puts out is very low. Normally I'm buying a new battery yearly and by the time it's six months old, it'll have trouble cranking my ATV motor. No problems at all here now... the bike kicks over first try. Hope that helps.

Neither of the other anwers addresses your question: at 18 W (x2), you're looking at a combined 3A draw at 12 V (W=A*V). Therefore look at the AH (amperehour) rating of your "small ATV battery" and simply divide that rating by the 3A draw to yeild H (AH/A = H). The result is runtime in hours.

I'd say yes. It has a 120 volt transformer for DC input and also it will run on SIX batteries (the large D size). I have been using it in my camper for 3 years. Nice unit.

Yes of course, that is exactly what the 12v output is for. However, it is only 4 amps so it would take a while. Also, it has no smart limit or anything so it will be able to overcharge the battery bank.I would recommend using a standard 120v AC charger plugged into the normal AC outlet of the generator. It will charge faster and safer.That said, the answer is yes.

Battery? What battery? Mine is powered by DC but there is no battery. Just the 12v wiring in my motor home, like in an automobile.

I bought a 120W amp as well and at the same time. One had the 12V attachment and one didn't. Not sure which was which at this time. its a basic and simple connection on the back and something that works can be picked up from Radio Shack. I have not tried it to a 12V battery but I'm pretty certain it will work as the electronics in the amp are also created for this purpose. Hope this helps.

No. It only converts DC power into AC power. The batteryour is your electrical source.

The unit is supplied with a transformer that has an output of 12 volts DC. It does not come packaged with a power adapter for direct 12 volt DC hookup, but you could easily make one. The plug would be the same as the one on the transformer output with the other end being a cigarette lighter automobile type connection or whatever other connection to the 12 volt source you would be using. I do not see any reference to a 12 volt connection in the owners manual, but I see no reason why it could not be done. Just be sure you connect it with the correct 12 volt DC polarity. Or do what the other commentor said. Get an inverter.

what would concern me first is the amount of current the winch would draw. you can go direct to the battery only using power from 2 batteries to give you the 12 volts needed to power the winch. I hope this helps you.

You need a NinjaMcPowerConverter. But seriously....the simplest way is probably to get a cheap dc to ac converter from Northern Tool and just plug in the existing power supply. There are better ways, but not as simple, and I think you want simple. About 20 bucks gets the converter. It's cheap, and won't even turn a screw-gun, but it will power low-amp lights.

Hi, This item is designed for all 4x4 off road vehicle, Jeep Cabin, Boat, SUV, Truck, Car, ATV, etc. Please notice that the Operating Voltage: 10-30V DC. It can suit for 12v, 24v DC. ThanksATC LLC

This connector is for changing from one plug format to another. If that is what you want to do I can't see why you couldn't use this in a connection to a boat battery. This isn't meant to be hooked to the battery itself. There are other connectors with eyelets for bolting to the battery or alligator type clips to connect to the battery terminals

It works with any 12 volt lead acid automotive type battery. If your battery is of that type then it would work. The tender is to be used mainly for storing batteries for long periods of time. It will keep the battery fully charged so it can be put back in use when you are ready.

My adapter that I connect this with says 12V DC, 2A, which would be a maximum. So, yes, any battery combination that delivers 12V would work - car/motorcycle/atv/lawn tractor or combinations like 2x6V, or 4x3V or 8x1.5V. Good luck!

No. The unit works on 120 Volts Ac. If you want to run it off 12 Volt DC , you would need to purchase a DC to AC Inverter that converts 12 Volt DC ( from a battery) to 120 Volts AC. There are much cheaper ways to do this.. Just look for color LEDs that operate on 12 Volt DC...Hope this information Helps.

A battery is a battery and voltage is voltage. If the machine will run from 12V DC there is no reason you couldn't use it. I would have to imagine there are better solutions for that though.
