I have 3 batteries in back of van powering an inverter and connected to main battery thus being charged while engine is on. HOW do I connect this?

I installed cables from + to + and _ to _ then ran a cable to cranking battery also hooking + to + and _ to _ on that battery also I put a 12 volt 150 disconnect in + line to be switched on off as needed bought cables at a local big box store as needed longer cable was from auto supply house

Connect positive side of battery lead to one of the big lugs on the solenoid. Connect the other lug from solenoid to your pack of 3 batteries on the positive side as well. You will need to find a fuse in the panel that is on only when engine is running and run a wire from that to the switching side of the solenoid, (usually the small one on the left if you have the solenoid mounted to the wall). That is how my inverter batteries are tied in to protect running down the truck battery if it is left on. It breaks the circuit when the key is turned off. good luck with it.

It depends on what battery the inverter is connected to. In my case, it connects to an AGM marine battery, see below link. I use the combo to power an air pump which draws ~1.3 amps of current. In two tries, the air pump lasted on average of ~7 hrs before the battery ran out of juice. You need to find out what current your device draws.Exide 34MSORB Orbital Sealed Maintenance-Free AGM Marine/RV Battery

There's an source and a load. Connect the battery to the source, connect the load (probably speed controller) to the load just as if you were connecting it to the battery. That's it. No wiring diagram needed, these things are pretty standard. Make sure you don't swap the black and red wires.

All you do is connect the end that has the clips for battery red positive black negative shows on top of battery as such. There is a plug coming from unit that will pug into those two items once all that is plugged in then plug unit into 110 wall socket and it will charge from there read instructions as to how to tell when batter is fully charged. This unit is not installed it is to be used when needed and can be left hooked to your battery when car is at home with out hurting battery. Once charged then un plug from battery and un plug from wall outlet till needed next time. Hope that helps some but be sure to read instructions as how to tell what the lights on unit is telling you.

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.

for my 36 volt system I bought 3 12 volt (15 amp hour) rechargeable batteries and wired them in series and hooked them to the controller with a connector i got from a model car store. hope this helps

There will be constant current at the excitation terminal when connected. Had mine over a year with no problems. Be sure to connect the alternator charging wire. I have one terminal charging the car battery and the other charging four batteries for my audio

There should be a negative and positive terminal where you can put a wire in and clamp it as seen in the picture near the bottom corner the two terminals. You'll need to take a 9V battery and get one of those connectors where it connects to both of the battery's leads and turns them into a red and black wire. Put those wires into the terminals respectively and it should be powered

I assume you are talking about two 12v agm batteries hooked in series, that are then connected in parallel to a 24v source. First, battery minder makes a charger for agm batteries vs normal car batteries. Second, to be safe, if there were a way to disconnect the two 12v batteries from each other, and from the 24vsource, you should be able to charge them individually (red clip to + terminal on battery and black clip to a ground point on the vehicle). Do not attempt to charge while connected to 24v source or while the two batteries are connected together.

Inverter should be connected to the batteries the last port is for like lights or something like that I have my fridge connected there

Batteries must be connected. I have one tender on my chassis battery and another on the two house batteries connected in series.

I connected in series. Try this site for connecting info. (may have to cut and paste)http://www.solarrvpanels.com/index.php/wiring-rv-batteries-properly/

Hi There I run the inverter off of a 27D size 12 volt battery on my boat that is charged from a 120 amp alternator off of the motor.

1,the closer the inverter is to the battery, the better it performs. 2, contact Tripp Lite tech support for the correct answer. 3, If you want to do it right, have your cables made by a shop that does it professionally, usually a qualified starter/alternator rebuilder or battery distributor can help you with that. 4, make sure that you use ring terminals/battery cable lugs that fir the studs on the inverter. I assume you are getting an inverter that is powerful enough to do your job. Mike

You can certainly connect it directly to the battery; however that connection needs to be fused appropriately. Also, "the winch" you referenced may be an issue since the auxiliary fuse panel is only rated for 100 amps. If you wire directly to the battery I would ensure that you have an inline 100 amp fuse close to your battery. I installed mine with a reset-able breaker (100 amp) between the battery and the fuse panel.

I think the manufacture should clarify this issue. four wires from one battery bank or two wires from each of two separate bat. banks or can you use a jumper to connect the the studs on the inverter ???? {buss bar}

Cigarette lighter or you can hook directly to your battery. I have a cigarette lighter in my center console so I ran the power under the seats into center console to plug them in
