Are the batteries hooked in series or in parallel . . . ie, is the output 15 volts, 1.5 volts are something different (for 1.5 volt aa cells)

These provide a series connection. ( 15 volts for 10 1.5 volt AA batteries)
489094
The holder is wired in series so you get somewhere between 12 and 15 volts depending on the charge on the batteries.

The batteries are hooked in series. So if you're using 10 batteries that are 1.5 volts each, you'll get 15 volts. Or if you're using 1.2 volt batteries you'll get 12 volts.

The 13.7 volts you're reading is normal. The charge controller is doing its job. It's protecting your battery bank because 16-18 volts being pumped into batteries is not safe or recommended.

The outputs are completely separate of one-another. It's recommended that you charge each battery independently of one-another. Please let us know if you have any further questions. -ServoCity

Mine is hooked to 6 batteries - (4) 6Volt (2+2 in series and parallel) for the house batteries and (2) 12Volt in parallel for the starter.

that is correct. if you connect them incorrectly nothing will happen. the voltage output will be one or two volts. if you connect them correctly you should get 18 volts. good luck.

Hi Kat,Yes these batteries are 1.2v (the standard voltage), and are rated at a capacity of 2ah 'typical', and 1.9ah "minimum" . I am quoting these specs directly from the label on the batteries themselves. Hope this helps. greentyco.

Sounds like to me that you have them hooked in parallel and not in series?? Check with your auto tech, seems to be something not right?? How old is the battery??

I believe they are. From what I have observed amps are not usually written on batteries. They are identified by voltage. The manufacture can give additional information about the product. That's what I believe is happening here. In terms of performance they are great.

When you connect them like this, they operating in parallel - same as if you had wired the batteries in parallel yourself. Each battery will receive the same charging voltage. For some batteries, this this will be the correct charging voltage, However, the other batteries could be over-charged or under-charged. All the Battery Tender sees is one battery!This is answered on the Battery Tender website. The explanations are excellent, with clear diagrams. Find this info in the education section - it's a on pull-down tab, at the top of the homepage. A good reference for all battery charging and connection questions.

There is only one 12 volt output. Even without connecting a charger, if you connect two batteries they will try to cross charge until they are equal output voltage. So long as that doesn't over heat the cables then the batteries are near equal voltage. With the two in parralel, you can connect the 12 volt charger to one battery and they will both charge no problem. The other option is to charge one battery from the 12 volt output and the other battery with a regular battery charger connected to the 110V outlet.

No, these batteries are 1.2Volt, Yes these will work in devices that require 1.5volt

Don't remember checking label, but it i think its standard for AA and AAA to be 1.5v? I checked it with multimeter after charging it shows about ~1.5v

Yes you can hook them up together in parallel and the voltage will remain the same but the amperage will be 4 times that of one panel. You will definitely need a charge controller with what is going to amount to 80 watts of panel input to the battery. It might be helpful to know more specifics about what you plan to do. If you want to just keep a battery up this is far more panel than you need. If you plan to use the battery daily to power things than 80 watts may or may not be sufficient depending on the size of the battery, the wattage/amperage draw of the loads, and how much daily sun you anticipate. There are a lot of variables. You will also definitely need fuses for fire safety. Hope this helps. BTW, it might be cheaper to buy a singe 80 watt panel as opposed to four 20 watt panels.

These batteries are rated at 3.6 volts each. A regular AA is 1.5 volts. I recommend you to use 2 regular Duracell (or similar) rechargeable batteries rated at 1.25 volts each. In a pinch you could use (1) 14500 and a dummy spacer battery, but there is a chance you could damage the LED driver circuit, and if it did work you would have a shortend operating time due to only a 1200 mah rating on the battery ( a single rechargeable AA battery typically has a a 2000 mah rating, or more stored energy). So in short, don't use this battery, use regular AA's or 2 standard rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps. ~ James ~

Yes - Connect the batteries to the charger in parallel. [The plus (+) from both batteries will land on the load + terminal. The negative (-) from both batteries will land on the output load minus terminal.]This is a very common configuration. You can put as many batteries together as you like in this pattern.Doug Wingfield

The batteries are 18 Volt, rated at (1.5 Amp hour). I am happy with their performance in terms of torque capabilities and battery life.

I can't speak to 5 batteries, but I have 4 yellow tops connected together in my solar array and hook this charger onto the side posts of the last battery and the charger maintains all 4 without a problem. It may make a difference - series v. parallel - I have mine connected in parallel.
