Can I trickle charge a 12V battery with the panel?

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.

only if you use a 12v charge controller and have you batteries wired in series. the output of the panel under load is a bit over 24v.

This panel would be like a trickle charger to maintain your battery between charges.

Dont know if i understand your question. But it doesn't sound like it would work because one 12v panel wont charge 24v battery unless you connect two 12v panels in series.

Yes you can. The charger is designed to recognize a full charge and then will trickle charge so that the batteries stay charged and ready but not overcharged. I am doing the same on mine

A 12V battery can be charged from any 12V source including the AC charger, a car or even solar panels intended for such. Some OEMs market a cord for connecting battery packs like this to the car via the lighter outlets so they charge as you drive (the Clore ESA1 and Schumacher SAC-109 are examples). Just be sure that the lighter outlet is turned "on" while doing that so the power gets thru to the battery. Also the cars power may instantly make this battery show "full" when hooked up, but it does take time for the battery to absorb the power, so that's why they recommend charging over a long time with the AC trickle charger (or while in the car you need to leave it for 1/2 hour, yet it's still a guess as to whether or not the battery has absorbed all it can or not).

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.

I use this panel to charge a 4ah lithium iron phosphate battery w/ a charge controller to regulate voltage(14.1). I wanted an unbreakable portable panel for charging electronic devices. You could link two of these in parallel to 2 group 24 batteries but it would only be a trickle charge(&lt;20watts). I would suggest a cheap charge controller even though it's not necessary to extend your battery life. These are nice panels but for two 85ah batteries you might aim for 50-75watts.

This is just a trickle charger to keep the battery charged when not in use. Do you have a volt meter? You can check to see if is working by hooking the red wire of meter to red wire on the solar charger and blk to blk put it in the sun you should get more than 12v.

The Deltran trickle charger comes with battery clips. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me to just connect a small battery to your car battery without some kind of regulator in between. You can get trickle chargers from many places.

Yes, at 12 volts and about 0.5 amps. This system was designed to trickle charge batteries and keep them topped off. I use them on my golf carts and boats and parked vehicles to keep the batteries topped off.

Any 12 volt system can use the trickle charger. It takes 12 to 18 hours to fully charge. The charger can be left on attached to the terminals to keep the battery fully charged. This assumes the battery is not bad.

No because the input amperage output is so low it cannot over charge a car battery. It also has a diode to prevent reverse flow when it is not charging. A dead panel should not drain a battery any faster than the battery would drain on its own without the panel hooked up. If it is dead it is dead. Now if only the reverse diode was dead than maybe it would drain it at night. So far my panel has worked great.

If you match the proper size batteries to your panels through the right size charge controller you will have no problem charging the batteries. The generally accepted ratio is 1 1/2 watts of panel per amp hour of battery for a productive charge. This unit is not a charge controller. This is a 12 volt power inverter that converts the 12 volt power in your battery to 120volt ac for common use. I have one of these. It works ok for the money but it doesn't produce very "clean" electricity.

I use a Battery Minder Plus trickle charger. I use my battery with an inverter as a backup power supply.

You can charge the battery through it. The voltage is set by dip switches on the unit. Handles 12 or 24v

No. You would need a 12v battery and use the solar panel to recharge your battery
