Can I trickle charge my 12 volt battery with this while using the battery to drive a 15 amp 12 volt motor?

I'm no expert, but I would think so. I have the charge controller charging the battery while an AC inverter pulls from the battery. Should be the same situation.

it's possible, but this panel is a positive ground, and the car is negative ground. i think they had a solution in the manual. i'm sure it's possible to do that, just don't connect it incorrctly, make sure you know what you are doing first before you cause damage

I don't know but I charge a battery that pumps 400 gal of fuel a day with a 12 volt 30 amp pump

This is not a trickle charger for vehicles. It will provide a power (110V as well as 12VDC and USB 1A) as long as you buy the inverter as well. http://www.amazon.com/Goal-Zero-33001-Universal-Inverter/dp/B003SJF1AO/ref=pd_sim_auto_1

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.

NO. Though it is a small trickle charger, it is only a maintainer for an almost fully charged battery! It a great maintainer to leave hookup to a good battery.

Yes you can. The charger is designed to recognize a full charge and then will trickle charge so that the batteries stay charged and ready but not overcharged. I am doing the same on mine

More, perhaps. Less I would think not or else "trickle chargers" could not be used I suggest you call:Programa Inc. at 1 800 668 8843 Ask for Gordon.

You can do this but it will take a long time to fully charge. With only one generator, you will get about 0.1 amp into your 12V battery.

Not 12 volts of course if you had a 15 amp inverter it would work, a 15 amp inverter would cost more than a 12 volt hot plate

Im assuming that thd miata has a smaller battery than the typical full sized car. This trickle charger is made specifically for motorcycle batteries, but if you need smaller ampage, it should be fine. Good luck!

Absolutely! It works with any 12 volt battery. I use it for two different batteries for something like powerwheels. Note that for desulphating a bad battery, you may need to leave it connected for a week or more. Read the charger's instructions.

Yes. The BatteryMinder 1500 will work on any 12V battery, so you should be fine.

The answer is Yes and No. Any 12 volt charger will charge it, but must have the right size "Spade Lug" connectors to mate with the battery terminals. Or have an "adaptor cable" to convert the typical 12 volt charger cable connector to the battery lugs. Be careful to use a low current charger adaptor, not a car battery charger.

Only if there is a residual charge in the batteries first. Suggestion, break the new batteries in 12V units and use a automotive battery charger to charge any pair that lacks any voltage. The reconnect all batteries and install this trickle charger. It should fully charge the batteries then...

Assuming you are charging a 12V (nominal) battery at a charging voltage of approx. 14 volts, from a 15 W panel, your charging rate would be about 1.07A-Hr. (This answer was typed in before reading the other two previous answers -- I totally agree with the answer provided by "D. Kearns". "northern boy's" answer is incorrect.)

Yes this charger will keep the batteries on trickle charge, make certain batteries are in good shape( filled with water if needed and no dead cells test them if they are older

As long as the actual connection to any 12 volt battery in any format is good and secure I don't think the motor will mind....it will get what it needs from your battery.

I would not use a 6v charger on a 12 volt battery (assuming you have a 12v battery, or why else would you ask?). The 6v battery tender charger will not even cycle on unless the battery voltage drops below a certain point, well below what you would need in your car.
