Could I use the Solar Port with an adapter plugged into an outlet (15v?). I am using this as a poultry feeder and would like to bypass batteries.

I would call moultrie direct on that one they have a customer care line that would be more than happy to help. My personal thought is that if you match what they require for proper voltage then yes it would work

it uses 4 x 1 1/2 volt batteries so you would need a 6 volt charger. however I have not tried to make it work that way. if it doesn't work like that you might have to put in 4 ni-cad AA batteries.

I would not, its designed to have electricity running through it all the time. The battery tender turns on when the battery needs juice. A solar panel is not constantly pulling energy, and this is always turned on. I would ask someone who is an automotive electrician.

AC 120v. There's a solar panel and battery you can get, however, you need at least a 40w panel. I installed mine hardwired, no battery or solar, I just didn't want to deal with future maint and issues solar and batteries can bring into the mix.

Yes, gives voltage for solar output, both voltage and amps when battery mode is selected. I have nothing connected to the load terminal.

I have 2 of the Moultrie Pro Magnum feeders .Mine are hooked up with 6 volt solar panels and I have never had a problem .Good luck and Good hunting .Thanks Bill

Yes. But, i believe the port it has can be used for a solar type battery pack as well as just an external battery. The batteries that it recommends 12 AA energizer ultimate (i think) say that they can last up to a year.

I was not aware of one and I hooked it up without breaking it.If you have a panel in the sun however, I would think that hooking up the batteries and any accessories first would be the right thing to do, followed by the panels connection

The instructions doesn't give enough explanation. I called the company for my inverter and asked if solar is compatible with their inverter hooked up to the charge controller. They said to keep the inverter connected to the battery. The only thing I can think of is using a 12 volt light or a small apliance could be connected directly to it instead of using the battery power. If a 12 volt light is connected directly you are taking advantage of the solar imediatly. If the same light was connected to the battery instead, the charge controller doesn't let the solar charge the battery until it drops to a certain voltage. So solar panel isn't being used to its full advantage.

The panel can supply 12v dc. If your device can charge off of this voltage, you would be ok. Not sure how long it takes to charge though.

It just has a 110 connection, I suppose if you have a way to meter the voltage to the jump box, I don't see why not? I use land power, so I may not be the one to ask, maybe you should ask someone with "Solar experience"

Freddy, Yes you can connect 110Volts and 24 volt battery. In this configuration the 110volt charges the battery. NOTE In this configuration the battery acts as a backup in power failure when 110 volts go out. You cannot use solar support - panel charger etc. 2. The LM 118 is the recommended Charge Controller but it seems like (1) the batteries aren't being charged properly or (2) the batteries are losing power somewhere. In the night the batteries would discharge through the solar panels but the charge controller should take care of this. What you can do is monitor the voltages over one night. Check the battery voltage at early night 6:00pm and in the morning when it does not open the gate. Then the second night disconnect the solar panel and check before and early morning again. If there is a stark difference you may need a higher specification charge controller. Also (3) make sure the solar panel is charging the batteries to their full capacity. A proper panel should deliver between .5 amps to 1 amp at hot sun to charge the batteries properly. I hear the solar input is not an effective input. The power of the gate opener is reduced through this input since the unit is compensating for this low power input. As you have explained I would condemn the solar input. Connect the 110 volt and connect the 24 volts to the battery input. The 110 charges the batteries to full power and when power goes you have the fully charged 24 volts to take over. Also, sounds as though your solar kit is stronger than the ones in the Aleko kit. The solar remains a great option since it is the main quality of this opener. Experiment with the efficiency of the kit and when you are certain of its reliability then you can connect this option. The charge changes with the sun intensity. Dull rainy days will not allow proper charge etc. All in all it is a well designed and full featured item.

The voltage is 1875 watts not sure if you would need an voltage adapter, you could just by an adapter and if you dont need the adapter return it.

No power adapter for this unit that I know of (and we work with these a bit). However, if you can't re-angle the panel to get more sun with the changing position, then it's likely that the relatively cheap battery they use is bad.

I would say "NO" mainly because the plug that goes into the power source will only fit on a 120 volt socket. Also, the adapter itself will only operate on 120 volts.

You can plug the feeder into an electric plug. I just went to Radio Shack to get one. Bring the manual so they know what Volts/Amps you need and the connector type.

You will not get more amps than the panel can produce. Watts= Volts X Amps. A 15 Watt panel @13.5 Volts will charge at 1.1 amps.

This device is specifically designed to be used to tie solar cells into the grid(your power system) with the minimum of issues.You plug your solar inverter into any outlet of your home and up to two of the 136 watt flexible solar cells on the DC side of the unit ...vowla you have an inexpensive very automated solar system that is easy to add wattage to. I have not had time to install mine yet. Good luck!
