Will this work on deep cycle batteries used for solar applications? I would guess those are not high cranking amp type batteries.

That's why I bought one. I use it to check my batteries in my solar system. Works great. You need to disconnect each battery and check them individually.

Ours worked fine on our 12V solar home battery bank. Maybe it is an issue of having a higher voltage.

Yes. I am using two 12 volt deep cycle batteries and have dry camped for 2 weeks with little generator use and works great

Yes you can, however, you should use at minimum a 7 amp charge controller. the charge controller will have the coupling you need to connect to this solar panel. I used 6 inch beautiful tape and placed it on the top of my camper. I never remove the solar panel from my deep cycle battery

The quick and easy answer is, Yes, it should work for that, the only thing I haven't tested with it is how it will react to loss of source voltage. You'll just have to be sure to set up the output voltage limit to the proper value for the 36 volt battery (41.4V or so for lead acid). I would also set the current limit to a value that would not overload the solar cells in normal lighting conditions.

I use mine for maintaining deep cycle batteries (2) for the trolling motor in my boat. The main reason I bought it was for the battery reconditioning feature. So far its doing what I expected. Jerry

The mfg would be able to answer that. We used it for flooded lead acid, the results were of no value. 6 out of 10 times it would fail new batteries .

I got these for solar LED lanterns. The original battery was soldered into the board - I removed it put this battery in it's place and it charges with the solar cell mounted on top. sometimes it charges fine - but has to be very sunny. You may be able to charge it using a AA/AAA charger and a copper wire taped to the contacts - but I'm not sure if that would work.

yes . i use mine often on all types of lead acid batteries, mostly associated with boating, fishing needs including deep cycle and maintenance free batteries. i purchased this same charger earlier and was so pleased i got another one for a different location. both have always worked very well !

i use it with two deepcycle batteries, i have a solar cell 68w connected to the batteries, it runs all the time with this setup in my camper

This unit will tell you cold cranking amps and several other European standards for amperage. But, it does not put much of a load on the battery as far as I can tell. I have tested batteries with this unit that appear to have acceptable CCA levels but do not pass a load test.

I don't think so. This is a small battery maintainer with mill a amp rating. You need something that would have a large amp reading. This is not for that job.

I use this battery to power a fish/depth finder in a Kayak. It is relatively small in size. In my application I can use it many hours before it needs to be recharged. It is a "Sealed Lead Acid" battery. I don't believe it would serve your purpose as it is not a deep cycle.

The quick simple answer is "not enough". A nearly depleted deep cycle battery may or may not be able to recover with this panel. If the battery was damaged slightly by a quick discharge, it may have more internal leakage than can be overcome by a one amp charge (the practical limit of this unit). This unit is more for maintenance than recovery.

This is not intended for that kind of amperage. This is a low amperage battery intended for powering gps/fish finders and the likes.

Don't know as I have only used on deep cycle battery. I don't see any reason why not.

Yes; in full sun one of these 15w panel will produce well over 800 milli amps close to 1 amp. 2 panels like these will double the charge rate and so on. My one panel easily maintains and keeps two 105 amp hour 12v deep cycle flooded batteries fully charge to over 12.6v month after month with about 6-8 hrs of full sun.
