Which setting should be used for a small 12v 35ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery which is used for my Gate? Its not really a large battery nor is it AGM.

I had forgotten that there was a switch on it at all. So I went out two look at it in my '97 Mercury Sable. I was surprised to see that it had somehow gotten accidentally switched to 6 volts. I use this charger only in the winter when this car isn't on the road. So I have to thank you because I had forgotten that there even was a switch.I also had to look up AGM battery. According to what I found, that's a sealed battery that can be used in any orientation. Are you sure your battery isn't one of these? That's probably the setting I'd try.By the way I don't know what you mean by Gate (with the G in capitals). Is this an electronic gate powered by a battery?Sorry I can't be of more help. I hope you do find some. I had forgotten that there was a switch on it at all. So I went out two look at it in my '97 Mercury Sable.

I would use the small 12 setting. I have a 105 ah and I leave it charging because it will only charge when the battery needs additional charging. I maintain my battery year round on this setting.. This is not a quick charge charger but rather a charger that maintains..

Hi there. It just would need to be set on one of the two 12 volt settings. Just make sure it is not set on "6". Thank you so much! CAR Partners, LLC

Number2 same as I set my motorcycle battery on. Number 1 is for a large draw 12volt battery auto,truck, number2 is for a small draw battery ,motorcycle,lawn tractor,. Number 3 setting is for anything 6volt.

You can use one of the two 12V settings. Here is a quick description of the different settings, per the manufacturer.Setting 1: 12-Volt large capacity batteries such as golf carts or trolling motor batteriesSetting 2: 12-Volt low capacity batteries such as lawn mower or motorcycles batteriesSetting 3: 6 Volt Batteries

If you need an 8AH battery you shouldn't use a 7AH rated battery. Go to higher AH rated battery, but not a lower rated.

AGM Batterys have the same charging specs as Lead Acid battery' (shttp://www.bdbatteries.com/mcharging_procedures.php) so no problem. The charge info is found here (http://www.progressivedyn.com/prod_details/rv_conv/rv_converter_pd9245c_2.html).

I would use a 1.5 to 2 amp battery maintainer, with 2 stages, when battery is almost full, it tapers down to a trickle or maintain charge state. this way it will not overcharge and dry out the battery. available online, at wal mart, harbor freight, northern supply, and most automotive parts stores and even on amazon.

I curently have an AGM battery in my car and it works amazing. it is mounted on my garage wall and I plug it in to the 12v port of the car. Great for a car that is parked alot of the time or driven daily.

Not sure as AGM is a brand I have tested deep cycle batteries with mine and had results as expected

I would not recommend extended use on the AGM batteries. It's OK to use on occasion if you need a quick boost. The charging profile on a lead acid battery and an AGM battery are different and over time this charger could shorten the service time/life of an AGM battery.

Yes, just be sure that the battery has enough charge so you make sure not to ruin the battery. Depending on what you're running, 40 watts may be too small. Also be sure that you use the proper gauge wire for your application.

The battery below will work - installed it and no need for a battery housing if using the sentry gate opener with the controller box - battery came with terminal screws - all you need to install and connectUPG 85980/D5722 Sealed Lead Acid Battery (12V; 35 AH; UB12350)UPG 85980/D5722 Sealed Lead Acid Battery (12V; 35 AH; UB12350)

i used 12 gauge from the solar panels to the controller and from the controller to the batteries i used no 6 awg i already had here The no 6 is probably overkill i wouldnt go any less than 8 from the controller to the batteries what is your battery bank at least 24v i hope

I don't know why it wouldn't work if you have the requisite 110 volt AC 0.65 amp voltage to plug into. It is specifically for AGM technology. On the side of the device it says you can contact "batteryminders.com" with questions.

Yes, it uses a 'standard' and available sealed lead acid battery. I forget the size but I do know it is a 6V battery. A Batteries Plus store would have it, or even an Ebay seller. You would need to open the product to get the amp hour (AH) rating and also the terminal size. I have opened mine up and know this to be true.

Hi-A 55 amp/hr battery is approx 50% more capacity that a 35 amp/hr. If the higher capacity batteries will fit, go for the more powerful battery. The price is right!Craig

I would say it can be done. Having done a lot of electronics in my day it seems like a no brainier. The battery in the unit is a Lead Acid type so the charge circuit should work fine. You should consider a sealed Lead acid Battery rather than a standard Car battery or consider wiring several in parallel. The sealed battery will be much safer to store in general. If you use a standard Car battery, you could find your self boiling it or deep discharging it. In either event that would not go well if you stored in someplace that is not acid safe. You can get a pair of 9AH sealed batteries for $20 and almost quadruply this units capacity. The one in this unit is only 5AH. Just wire them parallel and you should be fine. Honestly, I would not use a standard car battery unless I stored it in my garage or at least out side my living space. One last thing to consider is that by adding a bigger battery, you are only increasing the length of time you can support the load without the Grid. You can not put a heavier load on the unit. The inverter will only safely put out the rated power no mater how big the battery is.

This is not intended for that kind of amperage. This is a low amperage battery intended for powering gps/fish finders and the likes.

only has 2 voltage settings gel cell which i think is 14.1 volts and lead acid or wet cell batteries at 14.5 volts which is the right voltage for deep cycle marine batteries. I'm running 2 deep cycle marine batteries and it works great. with two 120 watt solar panels I have seen 17.3 amps coming in. at 14.5 volts that's about 250 watts gotta love it. This is a great controller for anyone with a small solar panel system, it's not a mppt controller but it's also 1/5 the price. I got it before it was on sale paid $130 and it's still well worth that. I'm not going to complain I have been using it for 6 months and have no complaints. see my photos.
