What is the voltage for the DC input on the side? I was hoping it would be low enough to charge with a solar panel.

I don't think that will work. I charge the batteries with a standard outlet. Hope that helps.

INPUT ON MY CHARGER IS - 120Vac,60Hz - 9w and output is, 9VDC - 300mA - CLASS 2 POWER SUPPY. Hope this helps you, sincerely, Fletch in Jax., Fl.

I have one and it is written on the charger.Input: AC 100V-240V 50/60HzOutput DC 4.2v 500mA

The input is 12V DC. It comes with an AC adapter, but I believe that it is underpowered, and if you are going to use it on AC power, you should replace the included AC adapter with one that puts out more amps.

The back says DC 5V - where you plug it in. there is additional print on the underneath side that is so small I cannot read it. Sorry

Here's what I measured @ 13.46 VDC-low: 20 Watts or 1.46 amps medium: 30 Watts or 2.21 ampshigh: 44 Watts or 3.23 amps

110 Voltage to charge this but it doesn't need to be charged for quite a while!!

Warning! I am NOT an electrical engineer, however the instructions state that "The power supply charging unit is designed to operate from 100-240 Volts, 50/60 Hz AC mains supply."Also "Check that the voltage marked on the rating plate located on the power adapter is the same as your mainsupply." Here at my place in DC the things work great.

Look on the adapter and it will tell you...I believe it is about 20 volts...you could definitely make a solar charger...the other option, one I use, is to use a 12V to 120 adapter and then can plug any 120v appliance in to the standard outlet...obviously within the wattage of the solar panel and adapter...and it will exhibit some loss...typically about 20%

Mine panel reads out around 8 volts on my multimeter in the garage without direct sun. It should work fine for you. Mine has been absolutely problem free for about a year and a half now.

DC. Plugs into 110 outlet 3 prong. Long cord. 6 outlets with levers to turn off amd on air flow. 1/4" airlines like aquariums use. Don't know about the solar thing. Sorry. I use mine for running 6 DWC 5 gal buckets for hydroponics.

You've probably checked on line, but this is a good site to reference http://www.chargingchargers.com/tutorials/solar.html 25 milliamps is really small, and may not generate enough watts to bring the controller into play. I connected the controller to a largish solar panel, output approx 20 volts, for keeping my boat battery topped up.. the combination seems to work well at this level. Hope this helps.

I don't have any problems with mine when the solar charge controller is on, and it peaks at 28.5v. Same with my 24v backup charger (which puts out 27+ volts). It should be fine.

Is this compatible with my portable DVD player (9-12V DC) to connect with an external solar battery?
1199239
I don't know. I checked the list of things it was said to charge before I bought it to make sure it was compatible. I've bought one in the past that I had to return because my devices weren't supported. I've found, The less computerized something is, the more likely it is to be usable with a solar charger.

I don't see any reason why you cannot trickle charge a 12 Volt DC battery with the solar panel. Although it will maintain a fully charged battery ,however, it will not charge a weak or dead battery. I presume that answers your question.

The instruction manual specifies 0.1 mV resolution on the 400 mV range for both AC and DC millivolts. I've never used it at that low of a voltage level, though.
