I want to connect these to a dedicated 12v battery in my vehicle. Is there a relay or something else I need?

You can hook direct off battery if that is easier for you, the small amp draw would be no drain on battery. Make sure you have a on/ off switch. It would be recommended to install a fusible link in the live wire, you can buy these links anywhere automotive acc are sold. Just a length of wire wirh a spot to insert say a 15 amp square fuse.

I did exactly that: Purchased a "cigarette lighter" 12V connector and spliced it on to the wires. It works fine.

You may have to buy a relay to wire it in. Your auto parts store clerk should be able to help you.

As far as I know this is designed for 12 VDC. You could just connect the + (red) and - (black) to 1 battery for the 12 VDC

A battery would work or wiring them into existing wire. I wired them into my headlights so when I turned them on the lights turn on looks great behind the grill of my car and along the floor of my car if they would let me post pics I would show u how I wired them in and how they work

They are 12 volts but they connect using two very small wires. You have to tap into your light harness

You need to run a wire from the battery to the Stinger relay with a 60 amp fuse in the line. Then run another wire from the other relay terminal to the trailer socket terminal for your charge line.

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.

These connect to the supplied (or a replacement) charge controller which connects thru a fuse to your battery. If your generator also charges the battery then this charge controller simply will be over shadowed by the generators charger (as in at night). I have it connected this way and it works fine. (Both chargers in parallel with no issues.) I'm keeping this charge controller as a spare and have replaced it in my RV with http://www.midnitesolar.com/pdfs/spec_sheet_kid_frontBack.pdf. I ended up getting a total of 4 of these panels for a 400W system. The Kid essentially adds another virtual panel due to it's improved efficiency.

There might have been one but for what I was using it I did not need one All you need to know is that you need a ground circuit to either of small terminals and ignition to the other small terminal and for either large terminal one to battery side usually an 8 gage cable and the other side to a starter or whatever you need to apply 12 volts to or if you need a 24 volt system you need a 24 volt relay This is usually used for a dual battery system also

mine were 12v and lit up the service van really well, I just hooked them into the wire with a Y connector just above the dome light switch at the rear doors and secured them to the underside of each shelf with wire ties.

One pair of wires will work. I have the same setup in my kayak. 12 volt battery with a pair of wires run to the switch panel. Just wire the negative thru to the equipment and series positive thru switches.

I wouldn't. Most people suggest using a direct connection to the battery with a relay even for just one since the current draw can blow the fuse on your factory wiring. With 2 you will definitely exceed the amperage rating and will need to wire them directly to the battery. If this sounds scary, it isn't. The wiring kit they sell on here comes with everything you need and works well. I have 2 on my Harley using their Kit.

Hook up your hot wire to your battery and your ground to metal. It will require a lot of wire for vehicle use. They are very bright though

They go to a separate Relay... (integrated) I have them on my Jeep, they draw too many amps.. Its best to wire them with the relay and separate switch it comes with. Good chance burning up your system...

I cut the wires and soldered leads to connect straight to my battery lines on my Motorhome since I too did not have a lighter outlet outside on the roof where I mounted it. Just make sure you put positive with positive and neg with neg. it works just fine on mine.
