Can Mr. Emergency GG5515 be recharged with solar panels when there is no AC available for recharging?

It can be recharged as long as the solar unit can put out 5Amp hours of charge, if not it will take a long time. At 5Ah it will take 11 hours from a completely discharged battery

Yes it can. I leave mine plugged in all the time. I would also consider looking at the Duracell Powerpacks as they have a range of sizes - but they do not have the solar hookup - depends on what you are looking for.

I don't think the solar batteries can be recharged that way but I'm not sure.Maybe contact the battery company and ask them.

Yes, it can. You may use any array voltage up to 150 volts, but be aware that solar panel voltages rise dramatically as temperatures fall. Check the temp. correction factor of the panels that you want to use. Basically don't go over a 90 volt series stack of panels to provide a buffer for when the panels are unloaded and to account for that surprise freezing morning. Over voltage is the surest killer of charge controllers, also be aware that the unit is rated 30 amps output to the battery, not 30 amps in from the panels. David Wardle

The unit is not equipped with an on board battery, it can't be "recharged". You just plug it into a house outlet or an automobile port for use.

It is battery operated and I don't believe the batteries are rechargable. Do you mean able to hook to a/c power? Did not find an adapter in our package.

You will probably need to get (or create) an adapter that connects the solar panel into the lighter outlet. These don't come with a special "solar panel" jack. Some brands of packs have a little "wall-wart" AC charger with a "charging jack" that can sometimes be used, but if you're solar panel puts out more than 2 amps then I'd not use that "charging jack".

It is sold separately. It can be used without a solar panel, but I would be lost without my universal inverter. I purchased a separate hard panel and never used it. I charge the 350 up before going out. If you are planning on using it for more than 4 or 5 days, and for more than charging phones, etc., I would get a solar panel to recharge it.

Yes but there is a long delay. You might try a regular 120v contactor, with the coil electrified by batteries and when your battery bank/inverter drop out the coil let's go and automatically switches to the other input which can be shore power. Then there is no interruption in power. But put sensitive electronics on a surge ups and everything will work great. That's what i do. When my batteries are charged enough they kick in the inverter which powers the coil and closes contacts to feed my load from solar. Then at night after they drain and voltage gets too low they switch back to shore power, with no interruption to my loads.

It must be plugged in to work. It is an inverter, not a portable power pack.

Hi Cynthia,A battery pack can be used. If the electric is out for less than an hour, it probably won't matter. DON'T open the lid during that time... What you want to search is "uninterruptible power supply," or UPS

You could as long as it was isolsted from the utility power grid with a transfer switch or equal, keep in mind thstit is only 120vac output and your house panel is most likely 120/240. Better use is for emegency backup seeSunbyrd.com or kcbyrdelectric.com will link you there. We use them in a stand alone backup systemtnx, kee.

yes, as long as the inverter is not plugged into ac the solar panel will charge the batteries through the controller. if the ac is plugged in and the inverter starts to charge the controller will no longer supply the batteries with a charge through the solar panels.

Spare batteries or you could use something like this: Opteka BP-SC6000 Ultra High Capacity (6000mAh) Backup Battery Solar Charger with Faster Charging EcoPanel

Yes, you can have a ups to plug your psu into. I would looking at the AFC BE750G Power Saving Battery Back-UPS it will last for about 30 minutes after the power goes out.

The nature of your question suggest you are looking for a battery "charger". If this is the case you will need more than the 5 Watts this panel can provide. With the 5 watts provided from this panel, you won't need allot of wiz's bang circuit breakers and meters. This panel dose a great job of keeping a fully charged battery in top shape all by it's self.

Not required, even if hooked up to a generator instead of city/county power. My refrigerator and freezer work fine as well as some battery chargers I had running off the dirty output of a poorly regulating generator but the UPS kept flickering on and off so I had to unplug it.
