can I use a 12v solar charger with this battery box

not sure. never tried it. if the amperage and volt match from your solar charger, I don't see why not

only if you use a 12v charge controller and have you batteries wired in series. the output of the panel under load is a bit over 24v.

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

NEVER use a 12V charger on a 6V battery. You could fry either the battery or the charger. You can cause the battery to leak or explode.

It would work the same as it does in the truck for asking as you had the twelve volt battery it was hooked to charge. If you let the solar panel charge your 12v bater all day you should be able to use it for laptop, cellphone charger or small fan up to maybe 12inch fan just check the watts for hay ever you plug up

Sorry, I can't see how that could possibly work as this device charges AA and AAA sized batteries from a standard 125VAC outlet/power source. I have no idea what would happen if you connected and 12VDC battery or solar panel to it, but I'd bet that it wouldn't be good. A better idea would be to find a small 12VDC to 125VAC inverter to connect your solar panel to, and plug this charger into the inverter. Yet another idea, see if Duracell, Energizer, or any aftermarket manufacturer actually make an automotive/12VDC charger. Good luck.

Sure! It's a 12V battery, just not a big one. One caution, though. If you are using these in series (like, in a Razor scooter), you must disconnect at least one of the connecting leads between batteries. Otherwise, it's a 24V system, and your 12V charger won't work.

Yes it can be used with any 12 V source of power. But however it is not bright enough for what I needed

I don't see any reason why you cannot trickle charge a 12 Volt DC battery with the solar panel. Although it will maintain a fully charged battery ,however, it will not charge a weak or dead battery. I presume that answers your question.

Yes, but you must wire two batteries together in series to put the unit in 24V mode where it can handle 260 watts. If not, you will exceed its 130 watt capacity in 12V mode. So you can charge one battery with one panel at a time or charge 2 batteries at a time with two panels. Nice setup!

Probably not. Your battery pack is giving you 10 watts peak, Your charger needs 9.6 watts. This requires the converter to be 96% efficient. It probably can't make this. Do you know if your 12v device really does need a full 0.8A? Is is that just the max rating of the charger you are trying to replace?

This is just a trickle charger to keep the battery charged when not in use. Do you have a volt meter? You can check to see if is working by hooking the red wire of meter to red wire on the solar charger and blk to blk put it in the sun you should get more than 12v.

You are more likely to over charge the battery with a 12 volt unit. Just ensure the whole solar array is in the sunlight for optimal charging.

Hello Jennifer, Yes, the Guardian 12V Charge Controller will charge any 12V battery. The Guardian can handle a maximum of 90 Watts input. You can use 3 - 4 Boulder 30 panels with the Guardian to charge your 12v battery. Thank you for your interest - I hope we can help you - Denis, PrepareDirect

Sure, but you will want to make sure that you have the solar panel hooked up through a contoller/regulator to avoid overcharging the battery. This is true with any battery.

Yes, this battery can accept from 12V to 19V DC power for charging. If you have a solar panel with output voltage 12V ~ 19V, you can use it to recharge this battery. The charge port connector size is 5.5x2.1mm.Best regards.

It is according to what you use for your power supply !! I Use A 12 v-dc Battery And a 12 v-dc Solar Panel To Keep The Battery Charged.12 V + In 12 V + Out / 12 V - In 12 V - Out. so your answer is (YES)
