Can you hook up more that one battery to this ? If so, how many ? It looks like it has room for three connecting wires to plug into it.

One connector goes to the solar panel, one to a battery and the other is for direct connector to another device. So unless you had a splitter from the dedicated battery lead, only one battery can be connected.

It only has one incoming (Solar Panel) plug hook up and two outgoing plug hook up.It is rated for up to 100 watts of solar power and 7 ampere of current so if you have lower wattage panels I would think you could add incoming lines to the plug hook up up to the Max of 100 watts.The same would go for the outgoing lines but the lowest battery would pull the highest charge rate until all were equal. If you are looking for low no load charging then it might work for you.

There are three plugs but they are as follows:1. Source (from solar panel)2. Battery3. LoadIn theory I guess you could hook the Load up to a second battery if you wanted. However in my situation I simply hook this up to my first battery, then hook up additional batteries in parallel. Keep in mind that when doing it my way, it will act like one big battery. So if you hook up something that is drained, it will not only draw from the charger, it will also draw from any charged batteries in the system. This is also not ideal if you are mixing and matching battery chemistries and sizes. There are three plugs but they are as follows:1. Source (from solar panel)2. Battery3.

The best answer is one. You can parallel batteries in a bank, but they should be the same size....I'd stick with one with this small unit.

You can have this connected to as big a battery (or bank of batteries) as you wish, just keep in mind that this can only handle the 7 amps going thru it (for charging or going to the "load" connection, but there's only one "battery" connection point).

I only did 2 but did hook up 3 there a drop in output for each one you connect together plus also noticed the leds towards power source get warmer the more you hook on im sure you can hook 4 to one power supply but personally would do 2 and 2 each their own power supply

You could have them both connected to the same battery. Each has its own controller. I do not know if you can wire them for any configuration other than 12v....

You need longer wire....but it comes with maybe 1 inches of wire. I spliced 5 lights into one wire that goes to my battery and a toggle switch

3 connections? It had 1 plug in...not sure how many wires were in it. What kind of vehicle is this for?

Yes, the product manual shows a wiring diagram for how to wire 2 12v batteries in parallel. I am only running one battery right now, but I was originally planning on doing this. This kit works so well with my small trailer I don't even need 2 batteries. I have an 18ft trailer and low power requirements. If you are in the sun/partial sun they trickle charge all day and only start using juice in the evening/night. My battery rarely goes below 85% and is usually fully charged by 8-9am. There are videos that will help with your installation on the GoPower web site and YouTube.

Hi this wont work with just two wires It has a third power wire, your electrician might be able to help with that. The installation manual is available on line if you search for it.

Hey Carlottie. Mine game with three connections and it also can with an adapter in case you only need two connections

I did not measure the size of the 2 batteries, but I do have the APC Back-UPS XS 1500 tower.... if that helps, and the 2 batteries matched what was in that UPS. I actually remember 4 wires connected, 2 on top and when the other was separated of each other, there were 2 more wires.

No the battery wires are only about 6 inches long. You will need to supply your own wire to get back to the battery. I used a 2 wire #8 stranded cable. I used bare butt splices and crimped and soldered the connection. I used heat shrink tubing on each connection and then heat shrink tubing over the full connection. Home depot or Lowes or Ace hardware will have what you need.

There were 4 slots. I seem to recall that there were only wires for 2. I wonder if the power boost by adding wiring to enable a third or 4th would be feasible? It would probably void the warranty, but might create more illumination. I am not an electrical engineer, so I do not know how it is wired or IF there would be more light for an LED if more power provided... or if it would blow some circuitry.

This is a very small battery approximately (5X5)! I really don't think serious injury is going to be a problem plus you are only hooking up two wires which is a piece of cake to do!

could you not just buy another battery and hook both batteries in parallel?

I also would not recommend doing that. On a 2 bank charger there are 4 connections 2 pos. and 2 neg. connecting all 4 to 1 battery would not be possible. If your device calls for 1 battery purchase a 1 bank charger.

Well first of all you can connect the two or three together. I think it would be tight so buy three and try that.

you can plug 6 3S in parallel if you build harness to connect them. I run 2 3S in parallel on mine. It comes wired for one battery, you will have to make or buy a Y harness to run 2 batteries.

That is three different biews of the same part. So no,,, you het one socket with 2 wires coming out of it
