Can I charge 12 & 24 v. using this? also, do I need to buy an extra wire to go to the charge controller?

Dear Al Basha, I am not sure I can answer your question about the charging. Because I do not use it to charge a battery, instead I use a grid tie converter to change the DC current to AC current and send the generated electricity to my grid. I thought of using it a battery. But that would need me to get a charge controller and to get a battery. I am not sure how well the charge controller would work since the wind generator always produces variable voltage.If your charge controller is far from the wind generator, you may need to get extra wire to connect to the charge controller.

Sorry, but this system can be used only for 12V system. And you would need to get some additional wire to connect controller.

It's made for a 24 volt charge controller. If you just have a 12 volt controller get 2 100 watt panels from home depot and wire them in parallel.

Do not hook up to 24 volts, it's For 12v to 13.5 dc volt . You can find good one inverter 24 volt @http://www.theinverterstore.com/2500-watt-power-inverter-24-volt.html

No you will not. I assume you are using it as a 24v so this charger is a 2 bank which will have 2 fused wires & 2 ground wires that connects to your batterys. The diagram is in detail for which application you choose to use. Once you connect to your application when you get ready to charge all you do is plug in to s 120v outlet. Hope this helps. http://www.batterystuff.com/files/manual-gu2611a1.pdf

Brad... Have not even used mine as realized too late that it was a 24 V thingy not 110 . Dumb on my part but answer is that you will need an adapter

You need to connect the panel with solar wire connectors like the MC4. You can connect to several batteries as long as they are connected with the correct voltage ie 12 or 24 volts depending on which way you go with the charge controller. Connecting 12v batteries in parallel will give you 12v. Go in series and you get 24v.

You will need a copper buss bar and some mc4 connectors. Run the positive wires in 10 gauge wire from the panels to the copper buss bar then a 8 gauge stranded copper wire from the buss bar to the charge controller. You can get a mc4 tee connector to tie the negative wires together and run one wire to the location of the charge controller. Do not do this for the positive wires from the panels to the controller, that's what I Sid first and found out a couple weeks later I was only getting power from one panel.

Voltage setting is Automatic. Connect to battery first so Controller can determine the Charging Voltage. Then connect the PV Panels.We usually use 24V Battery Bank, so I cannot say how well it works on 12V.

I bought some extra wire but didn't need it. Just spliced in to the existing wire. I already had a 5 amp panel. It wasn't enough to keep the battery charged. So the short answer other than wire you shouldn't need anything

If I understand your question correctly. your requirement is for a 400 watts solar input and if 408 watts of solar input is ok, I am assuming your question is for an off grid system (charging batteries). Question is if your your charge controller can accommodate additional 8 watts of input or ignore this additional watts without damaging any of the equipment. Please check the documentation of your equipment (charge controller) if it will work properly with the additional power provided by the solar panels. Normally additional power provided by the solar panels is ignored, one should make sure that electrical specs are matched with the solar input with the charger such as input voltage 24v panel and 24v charge controller input. Output from the charge controller should be matched with the battery voltage such as 24v solar panel, 24v charger and 24v battery, if different use an MPPT charge controller which can accept higher voltage from the solar panel and charge a lower voltage battery such as 24v panel, MPPT charge controller and 12v battery. Hope I have answered the question.

Yes, the charge controller will automatically bind to the single 12 volt battery, with appropriate charge from a 24 volt panel.

I used a #10 stranded copper wire THHN is good for 30 amps. I ran a red and black from the charge controller out to the battery terminals. The charger will keep a constant and monitoring voltage for your 12 volt battery. You may want to add a Wattsup to give more information and condition of the process.

12 volt.. why do you need a 24 volt ? ... where do you live, all cameras I have are 12 v

this controller doesn't care if it is 12 or 24 volts,, not very many watts though,, it will take a while to much charge in that battery

A test you can make is to directly connect the panel to the battery, correct polarity important or you will fry things. If the voltage is 17 volts or under you are good to go. If it is still over 18 volts you will be over current and ruin the battery. You cannot have the controller set to 24 volts for your 12volt battery!

Hello,If you are charging 24v the controller can support 3 of these panels.In 24v the controller can support up to 800 watts.Please let us know if you have any further questions.Regards,Austin WaltiRenogy Technical Support Rep.

The 12 volt inverter takes 12 volts DC and outputs 110 volts AC. If your stuff requires 24 volts AC then the inverter will not work. However, most chargers for electronic devices work using 110 AC even though they output 24 volts DC.
