What attachment do I need to charge a 12 v battery from your system to a the battery?

I actually attached mine to my DC to AC inverter that is wired to my 12 volt battery. I soldered an "eye" type of connector on the end of the wires that come off the controller. I also attached the wires with the standard solar clips just like the ones provided in the kit that they provide. It was just for convenience to un-hook my system at the RV compartment for easy set-up and take down when traveling. One other item of note, put a 10 amp fuse both before and after the controller. This protects both the controller and the system.

The short answer is: A pair of alligator clips to connect the wires to the battery. If you or a friend have any mechanical ability at all, it is easy. You get 40' of wire that becomes 20' because you run two conductors, a positive and a negative. You will cut the desired length of wires to run from the panel to the controller. The wire remaining will be used to go from the controller to the battery. The terminals on the panel, the controller and the battery are clearly marked as to what goes where. (I used a piece of red tape to mark the hot (positive) wire at all ends. (the wires are all black.) This system is superb. We use two batteries and have all the power we need in our RV. (Lights, pump, tv, computers.) We are thrilled with it. (The price is unbelievable. $600 in RV stores) If I can be of any other help please don't hesitate to holler: Ivor ivorthomas316@aol.com

Don't connect the BM to a battery bank that is wired in series to produce 48V. Your options are to separate the batteries from each other and charge them individually with the BM or disconnect them from the system and then wire them in parallel for charging with the BM. Both of these options might be a lot of work to accomplish the proper charging of your battery bank.

needs a 12v power source via vehicle battery or get a 12v adapter for the 12v source in you console to plug into.

You'll need a charge controller so the connection will be: panels>controller>batteries>inverter

Any small 12 v electronically controlled charger will work. Get a "Battery Tender" at Amazon. Attach positive and negative clamps to battery terminals, plug charger into 110 volt house wall outlet. Battery Tender will show red light until battery charged up, then shows green light.

I have two six volt batteries in a series configuration(12volt system) So I assume your batteries are like mine and supporting a standard 12v application. This product works great for me. I recommend the extra long cable accessory.

It is meant to charge a 12 volt battery and works well, so I would assume you would also need a battery hooked up in line that would feed the fan.

You need to hook it to a 12 volt DC source like a battery or power supply for this to work.

Yes you can hook it straight to the boats 12 volt battery just make sure you use the included fuse.

No you have to use the power adapter supplied. Unless you rigged up a 12 volt DC battery near it.

Just plug it into the balance charge connector on the battery. It works great.

The panel puts out 12V DC, so charging the 12V starting battery is no problem. I wouldn't charge a 24V system with a 12V panel, but if you disconnect each of the 2 12V batteries for the trolling motor and charge them separately, that would work.

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.

This item can be connected directly to a 12 volt battery. You would need to provide a charging source for the battery.

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.

I agree with most all said here before. Get 2 12v batteries in series = 24v, or 4 6v and hook up in series but controller is best way to go to match your solar panel. Most quality solar panels will charge 12v and 24v. Get a volt meter and check it out as you go. A fuse is a must. Good luck

You don't. You put the charger clamps onto the 12 volt marine/RV battery to charge it up. Once the battery is charged, then you connect the battery to the motor.
